Town Hall Email....Are you on the list?





















NOBO (Neuro Opth) Japanese Restaurant
Does BJ now work for Steve Schaefer? Steve is now Sr VP.....Wasn't it the other way around before?

oops, correction....NOBU - Neuroscience & Opthalmics Business Unit

Yes, I love the one in Vegas at Caesars, cant beat the signature dish...Black Cod in Miso! Anybody think we're going to Vegas this year after the RIF to celebrate? It's sad that we celebrate after firing so many, but that's how pharma rolls! New RSD after last RIF told everbody congratulations!!
 









Yeah, well I heard BJ make Steve apologize (own up exercise) for a past business mistake on stage in Dallas at the NSM - very uncomfortable moment to say the least! We all knew the point of the exercise (everybody must admit and own their mistakes), but BJ sounded real heavy handed about it, almost like there was some kind of weird animosity between them. BJ was acting like Steve's boss or something (maybe he was at the time - now reversed??) doing an on stage live performance review in front of everybody - very weird. We in the field get lost in all their self important titles and who reports to who.
 








I'm a DBM here, and I can barely tell you who's in charge of what or who reports to who. Christophe - CEO, Ramona - Pres, Steve - VP (now Senior VP), BJ -VP sales, others VP, VP, VP, VP, VP, blah, blah, blah. You have field people (RM's, DM's, Reps), then a bunch a VP's. What happened to Glenn Weiglein - yet another VP of Field Sales? He gone?

THIS WITH A RESOUNDING AMEN. Besides for me in my day to day it doesn’t matter.
 
















End of February could be exactly right even with a meeting in April. Those retained may get certified at the meeting, and would need most if not all of March for training.

Any thoughts on new codes added to Concur.....Fleet retrieval, sample and equipment retrieval. Why put these codes in there now if layoffs are still far off? Next week, end of Feb, is making more sense with all of this.

No doubt the Pearl has struck again. Looks like he was accurate as hell on the TET-2 this week announcement the other night. So yeah, thinking end of Feb for sure. Put me down with the Pearl! #listisreal
