we did all know that it was coming and really, for those of us who were severed, it is a relief. i do think that eyetech made a bad decision in firing 90% of reps as they are the ones with the relationships. any macugen written in the last 6 months was a favor for people that the docs liked and respected...they were willing to give it a shot for us. they will help us thru sept. as they know that we recieve credit thru 9-30...after that, all bets off.
this is not "sour grapes" it is just that in protecting management etc, they "shot themselves in the foot" because doctors are acutely aware of how the layoffs were handled. They liked the people that they saw on a regular basis, not the people in the "ivory tower". as a famous senator once said "all politics is local" it is true in this industry as in most others. anyway, good luck to all.
