Takeda total sales 2.7 billion lighter with..

You can't make a generalization about the age of people let go. In our district, and areas around us it was just the opposite. The younger less tenured reps were cut and the higher paid, more experienced reps were kept. Both times! There are still older reps with the company. I'm not saying I know why they chose the reps they did but I do know that there are still older and higher paid reps with Takeda. Some may have been cut but many weren't.

My point is that older,tenured reps,were replaced in their territories by younger,cheaper reps.Downsizing a territory is one thing,but downsizing an older,tenured rep to be replaced with the above is another,and believe me it happend both times.Takeda mentality is that of big pharma, in the respect that relationships,rapport,that tenured older reps bring,is not important anymore.Hey,this happened to me too,and I found another pharma job within 2 months with a company that appreciates what I bring to the table,and I am successfully selling against Takeda. I'm better off,not complaining,but let's not try to sweep under the rug what is being done during these "downsizings".
 




funny there are two territory managers and one ssr in my pod of 5. between the three of us there are about 36 at TAP/Takeda. Guess your theory is shaky

They match people up. So if there are 2 old people, they place them in position in advance (same district) if there is a rif the lower paid person stays.
 




Forget age high salary, as much as they deny it the DM has the say on who goes and who stays. Look around in your district rank your self not on success or relationships with prtescribers, rank your self using the #1 gender(as compared to DM) #2 chronism ( as compared on how much you have on the DM). I you rank lower than the top five on those two chriteria, you are gone.Simple.

We obviously missed some low hanging fruit in the last riff
