I thought the call was honest and heart felt. Thanks for nit dragging this out any longer and telling the truth. I really hope I am retained, and I feel bad for those who will be displaced.

So thanks for that!

Agreed. Now it's time to dust off the resume. I wonder how many people will land jobs this month then not tell until they see if they get cut for severance.

Company can avoid this by offering a severance for those who actually want to leave or plan on leaving. Otherwise they will have to disolace people and rehire people. Not cost effective.
 






That had to be the most unprofessional and heartless call ever.

I love how you are going to let people sweat it out over the Thanksgiving Holiday!! Instead of calling you a bunch of heartless morons, I will look at it in a positive light.

Time to relax for the month of November, catch up with family, draw a few more paychecks, get paid to job search and then get a pathetic severance. Do you seriously think most reps are going to work this month and why would you? Oh yeah...I forgot about the $2,000 bonus program...yipppppeeee!

One last thing...next time you need to mute the phone when talented people are asking legitimate questions...that you stumble and stutter answering! Seriously, the whispering from your legal adviser during the entire conference call was giving me a headache!

Get your act together!!!!!!

bottom line is if you have worse annual appraisals and/ or less tenure than those say 5 to 60 miles around you get another job NOW! You have been warned.
 












If I am 60miles away from the "center" of a territory but live in or very close to the edge of that territory are they saying that I would still be displaced & would have to duke it out with any other displaced rep interested in the same territory who could live several states away?

If your home address is close enough to their home address and you dont win the numbers or tenure game you need to be worried. Its that simple.
 












I wouldn't feel completely safe about the long tenure aspect. DB made it clear...very clear...that component was the lowest weight. If they can get a rep somewhat comparable they will keep the less tenured. It's the common sense and quickest way to save cash per base salary.

I was told after the cc that "tenure" was put in the slide show for a "feel good" effect...to show respect for the long term Shire reps that have indeed busted their butt for this troubled hell hole. Look at the lay off model for every other pharma company...the highest paid are usually the first to go!

They never said they want the rep that costs the lowest cash. Yes tenure was the lowest weight but the HR person even said the opposite. She said tenure is better. Stop confusing people nobody said salaries at all. If they are lying who knows but that is what was said!
 






All of this is very objective and consistent, otherwise they put themselves at risk for law suits. If u and a colleague live very close, you both have two years of CM, then it will come down to the last component which is tenure.

Agreed, that other poster is encouraging reps in the situation you just described to sit around do nothing and be let go. If you fall in the scenario above you better not leave your family to chance because the odds have been givin to you beforehand and you will lose. The above poster is right they have to be consistent with what was said or its lawsuits and a free for all. Not gonna happen.
