This is my first job out of college, i don't want to get laid off. I just hope things get better for Vanda.

Nobody wants to get laid off and those that were laid off last year from here in the bloodbath certainly didn’t want to be. Unfortunately, getting laid off is part of the new normal in pharma.

Been there experienced that like many others that were part of this industry during 2007 - 2010 the most depressing period for pharma industry.

Been through several layoffs since that time and you almost become numb to it (but it still sucks)!

remember the BS we heard after the blood bath last year about "the right attitude" and how everything was going to be wonderful..... LIES, all LIES. we lost the best and the beatings and bullying got worse. I'd be fine getting fired now. Just give me a package or my files get turned over to the feds - including the "how to sell Hetlioz as a sleep aid" recordings of my manager and regional.

Expect lies on earnings call. We know Hetlioz is not getting filled but what lie will Mihales and Jim tell the analysts this time?

I wonder if he will say Vanda is exploring new indications for FANAPT??? No one believes that any more. Everyone knows mihales expects rxs for bipolar and everything else without spending a dime on getting the actual indication. Like he wants Hetlioz rxs for insomnia with no data. And let's not forget there is still no data for Hetlioz in non 24 in sighted patients

How could I forget? The people that spoke on those calis about “the right attitude” were clearly reading from a script and sounded like they were being hostage. It also confirmed that the actual work one did made no difference in the difference because the butt kissers that were at the bottom of the numbers kept their jobs but many high performers were let go.

I heard the managers had a script too when laying off folks and some were taken aback when the reps started to make them take pause with their questions. Heard a great story about someone telling the manager “Are you effing kidding me?!?” during the lay-off phone call.

This company doesn’t care about anyone so the best advice is to go to a company that actually does care about their employees.

Are you tslking about Tom's love child Beau? He was dead last on GAR but the data source changed and he went to #1 overnight. Going from getting fired to promoted.

Wow! I was referring to a couple of reps in general but what you are writing is quite interesting.

Did the change in rankings happen when Synphonu changed to IMS?

The whole data source thing was very sketchy because how could so many scripts have been unaccounted for before? And, wonderful Vanda still screwed people over in the 3rd quarter of 2017 when that went down because there were clearly people who made their numbers when the switchover to IMS happened but Vanda still wouldn’t pay them bonus (and that was the quarter where 95% was the payout threshold and there was that stupid team component kicker).

That was also the quarter of the Summer Fizzle and how messed up is it that there were winners of that contest that did not get their 3rd quarter bonus?

Something always smells rotten in the world of Vanda (as usual)!

$38 million hetlioz revenue for the quarter? that's serious production from the associate reps! Jim even gave a shout out on the call -- the team is executing. Buckle up! This rocket is heading higher

They can easily settle their lawsuits with those “actual” dollar amounts.

I vomited when I heard the lies. And a bipolar study for FANAPT.... Mihales has told that lie on calls for years. If it happens it will be like all of the current trials his son puts together. 20 patirnts at Max with a 14 day trial.

I guess only the field gets screwed when Vanda “scrubs” the numbers.

How’s there such a discrepancy between what Poly presents to Analysts and what he presents to the sales team? According to what Poly said on the call, Hetlioz had the best quarter since launch. Who’s the fools being lied to?

You are probably just one of the reps that doesn’t perform.

There are 100+ reps on the Fanapt side and 20+ reps on the Hetlioz side. Most perform well, some don’t.

The people on her complaining about how expectations are too high are also the people who were available when Vanda originally hired reps from Publicis. Not surprisingly, these were reps who, for the most part, had been let go as underperformers.

As Vanda continues to bring in higher performers and promote them, our numbers go up.

Congrats ANSRs and AAMs. You really stepped up! I am excited to see promotions starting to roll out, you deserve it!

And a lot of us NSRs and AMs kicked ass too!
Congratulations!

You are a fucking tool

That sounds like a Keith K comment or some other dumbass manager...

Shut the hell up! Some of us are still here from the Publicis days when we actually felt respected and made Fanapt’s field force!

Publicis was a much better company to work for as opposed to Vanda!

Publicis also made sure that those in Winner’s Circle got cash instead of a bs “reward” trip to hang with DC leadership!

All Winner’s Circle members have also been given zero respect after their wins and that is why so many of them have left or were laid off because they dared to stand up for themselves!

Now—go lick Poly’s butt some more.
