TRA Dead???

Current CCG rep here. This is just par for the course for us. It seems like for the last number of years every major study has gone against us. I think it is time for us to all explore future options. This hurts but the writing is on the wall.

ya think?????? Displaced CCG rep here, know exactly what you're talking about, trying to do damage control at every account. It happened with Nights & Weekends strategy and Early ACS? Glad I'm not in this mess anymore. Got a great medical device job, love it and doing really well. Good luck CCG, miss the old days
 






Well stated displaced ccg rep. The time for denial is over. Good ccg reps can and have made the jump to device jobs and other good positions. With tra seemingly in big trouble the time to explore other options is now. I know many from our group that are doing well out of pharma.

Yeah right. Any CCG rep thats still here has tried and failed to find a job elsewhere, thats why they're still here. They can try to "explore other options" but if they haven't been picked up by now odds are that they won't be in the near future. I suggest riding it out here at Merck until the next round of layoffs. At least that way they'll get a package.
 






Not true. Ccg rep that has been here for a number of years and has numerous options in the device world. There are many reps that have stayed here by choice. Is it harder to move now? Yes, but ccg reps with great cath lab relationships can move

You've "been here for a number of years"? Would that number be say....1?

As long as you're under 55 years of age. Many of us our older and believe me, device does not want a 55 year old woman regardless of "our" relationships. I am sticking it out and just putting my best foot forward. Integrilin still needs to be sold into 2015.

There is no package after November 2011, at least the excellent Schering Plough package.
 
























how many once promising products have now gone bust in mrl in the last 3 years? quite a few. whats happened the once stellar reputation of merck research? investors will now pick up thier marbels and go home. oh saw a book today -Top 100 stocks to invest in - 2011. merck didn't make the list.
 






Fred Hassan, Carrie Cox and the other members of the SP Executive Team really took advantage of the Merckies. Just like they did to Pfizer! Sell the buying company a bunch of promise that has little backing, then let them take all the heat for all the misdeeds you have committed. TRA reminds me of Integrilin - Lots of bleeding with mild efficacy, especially when it's given to the wrong patients (i.e., those that didn't need it in the first place and had no labelled reason to receive it.)

oh lord, help us--it's like Merck slept with the enemy.
 






I have had the dubious privilege of watching the SP/MRK relationship from inside.

What I can't understand is how ANYBODY can blame Schering for any of this. Sure, it may be true that a lot of slickwitted silvertongues ran Schering, but, at the end of the day, Merck had to make a buy/no-buy decision.

If Merck was stupid enough to buy a shell of a company, then Schering took care of its stockholders. Merck is ultimately to blame for this debacle, plain and simple.

3 former CCG reps finished 1,2,3 in rookie of the year Rankings at Cordis. all 3 were in top 20 in the country. You can make the jump to cardiology device
