The VBU continues to crumble

Why haven't you left yet, loser? If the ship is sinking, why are you settling into a deck chair?

And stop insulting Maya. The burden of keeping her teeth in her mouth must be overwhelming.
I have left! Left about 6 weeks ago and regret staying as long as I did. New job has its plus and minus, but overall I got a slight bump in pay and new customers to call on.

So what are adult vaccines reps doing now? Shingrix and Arexvy both underperformed and that doesn't seem to be changing anytime soon.
 








The Vaccines Business Unit is facing a challenging landscape. We need to effectively advocate for the importance of Arexvy for everyone over 60, especially given that a significant portion of this age group has underlying conditions, as highlighted by our area VP. This is a key topic of discussion within our region, and we anticipate pushback from pharmacies and health systems on this front.
Regarding Shingrix, most individuals in the U.S. who were interested in the vaccine have already been vaccinated. The remaining opportunity lies in reaching those who are just reaching the eligible age, but this will have a minimal impact on our goals and bonuses.
Pediatric vaccines are making progress, albeit slowly. The enthusiasm for what was once seen as the 'holy grail' of adult vaccines has now diminished, leading to a more subdued outlook.

Hey someone who actually gets it. Kudos to you. People talk all this shit and at the end of the days it’s our jobs on the line so let’s do the best we can. You’re right about shingrix but it’s too early to tell with RSV.
 




The VBU continues to disappoint and Truck and Joaquin are no where to lead. The transformation has been a disappointment. FVP’s who don’t know the business focusing on calls per day. Bring back Al and Judy and we might be able to save the VBU.
 




Q3 vaccines sales are down!! Did we expect anything different?? The layoffs of legacy reps, ecosystem cluster f*ks, shifting territories, new micromanagment and shitty morale and bonuses!!
 








Whosever idea it was to go to “ecosystems” needs to be fired! This has been a shit show! I have never experienced such A mess in what was a once great division! Off with there heads!

I feel bad for anyone in this division. It's truly a mess. Sales of both adult vaccines are way down with no relief in sight.
 




Imagine thinking that account managers across the country all had an interest in doing contracting and assuming they would all be good at it. There isn’t some guaranteed correlation between being an effective account manager and doing contracting. Getting rid of the VCM and IVCM rolls and giving contracting to people who never had interest in it was a colossal mistake. Taking people out of those rolls who were both very good at it and liked doing it and thinking account managers and or reps who were laid off then promoted via interview could be as good is astonishing to me. And let’s not even get started with the horrific contracting training…
 
















Well if your boy Trump gets elected and installs RFK,Jr into running the CDC you guys will lose the entire vaccine business!! He wants to eliminate all vaccines!! Used to work at GSK surrounded by trump supporters so enjoying how karma works. Hoisted by your own petard as the say. Haha.

more fake news from you libtards. RFK is gonna ban vaccines!! You can’t be that fucking oblivious, can you? Nevermind, don’t answer that question. If you’re idiotic enough to vote for 4 more years of this horrific administration, you’re gullible enough to think all vaccines will be banned. Holy fear mongering. All you people ever do TRUMP IS GONNA BE A DICTATOR! Classic.
