I’m a new dry eye specialist with Bausch. I just want to Thank the territory rep for making me so much money in Q4. What a sucker you are. This is the funniest thing I’ve seen in a while. And my 50k sign on bonus is a huge . Hehehe.

Well, here we are. Been a long time coming for us Novartis reps. I just want to reflect on what this team has been through from the end of 2022 through 2023. You want a team with mental toughness, this is it. From all the lies and mistreatment at Novartis for over a yr, telling us we matter to our face and on every call, lying to us that we aren't being sold, micromanagement of metrics, waiting of the unknown for months on end, finally being sold, then go through a realignment and not know if we will have a job before the holidays. My fellow xiidra reps no matter what happens today, this rollercoaster has been the wildest one yet. And I've been through many of these. I hope not too many are displaced today and all find a home here or elsewhere. Good luck everyone!

Novartis reps and managers got first dibs on everything. Leadership believes this is a dry eye company now and wanted the most experienced and not necessarily the best reps or mgrs that sold in the dry eye space. Last time I looked the company was called Bausch & Lomb but Novartis won out across the board. This will be the downfall of Bausch because it's not a dry eye company it's an eye care company. The dry eye space is an oasis or a mirage for leadership, they will get sucked in to the "potential dollars" but will find out putting all these resources (layers and layers of reps, support, marketing, etc) to work cost money. In a managed care environment we are living in today with pharma and med d, it is not sustainable nor highly profitable. Additionally the space is getting crowded and otc products are still the doctors choice because they are affordable.

You do know that most of Novartis reps sold all types of eye care products. Most of them are very tenured and skilled reps not just dry eye reps.

Some managers never leave their house also!

Who needs managers out doing ride alongs? What value do they bring when you are doing your hall way call?
If anything, they make the situation worse by being even more in the way in the office.
They should be home most of the time. Doing what exactly, who knows or cares

Do we even need managers? The company can send down reports and field trainers could ride once a quarter.
 


















Have to give it to Brad and his crew, really never thought you could take 2 sales forces, merge them together, and make everyone hate the company/job. Maybe we should have a conference call about it?
