UPCOMING PFIZER LAYOFFS TO BE MASSIVE!!!

Quote
As a hiring sales manager with a midsized Biotech company, I can assure you that will will never hire reps who were in Pods or Clusters. Who really knows where the success comes from in those situations. It is what it is. We have so many resumes to chose from that it is so easy to cut out the reps who never had a solo territory.

Basically I think that’s a fair opinion, as a former manager I hated the concept. it does not support individual accountability.

That would hold true if Doctors still see reps. Upper Midwest, Pacific Northwest, and certain parts of the east coast have virtually no access at all anymore. And that trend is spreading across America. National studies show show that reps spend only about 5 hours per day at work, and get to "see" (not convince) 2 doctors per day. When you look at that from this perspective, as companies do, you quickly come to realize that a massive cut in the sales force won't hurt profits, but reduces expenses...

It’s just a matter of time before some company leads from the front on this and massively reduces their primary care sales force. Once one does, many more will quickly follow suit. One just has to find the courage to tell Wall Street that this is the best approach. Because up to this point no company has wanted to risk a drop in the stock price by massively cutting back on primary care promotion when others are not doing the same.

As for true specialty care like rare disease and particularly Oncology (not fake specialty where you call on the same customers as primary care but have “specialty” attached to your team name), they will be the last people cut. The science changes too fast, there are too many approvals each year and the ability to grow business through face to face interactions with community practices is still present. They don’t need 8 people in a territory (looking at you Merck, AZ, BMS, etc.) though.

Let me tell you how these Lay-Offs are going to play out. Yes, a lot of you are going to lose your jobs and that sucks. PFE will do some dog and pony show to show Wall Street that they made massive lay-offs but they still will not address the main problem. You will find out that Regionals, DM and Reps got cut but you will also find out that PFE will NOT CUT where they really need to cut and that is Director Level and above. PFE will still have layers of GMs, VP's and Group Leaders and that is where the problem lies. All these Lay-Off are just going to reset a terrible managed company, hurt a lot of reps but mark this post all the layers above will continue to laugh and collect pay checks.

I’ll do my part and receive our Covid vaccine, and hopefully that will save some jobs as it generates some income

I’ve been with Pfizer 35 years. It’s been a great ride for sure. Yes I had my peaks and troughs. Yes I had my great managers and managers from hell. But the time has come for me to “hang up the bag” (a phrase referring we to retirement for you too young to know what that means).

I’m gonna take my double comma 401K, my nice pension, and go to a warm climate with a beach for the holidays and smoke me a joint!!!

How is this any different than what you've been doing the last 7 years?

Use your shallowness and righteousness to make your calls for the day. And hopefully you’ll be receiving a fat 401K and Pension.

These kids are so funny.
I’ll be laughing with you OR AT YOU WHILE IN THE SUN

it's weird that as a hiring manager at a big bad biotech you spend your time on Pfizer cafe pharma. So weird

Touched a nerve, did we Boomer? Go ahead and brag about your "fat 401k" and spending the rest of your boring-ass life lounging by one of the pools at The Villages all you want. YAWN! We dont envy you. Nor do our parents. And some of us have figured out how game this system and invest in multi-unit rental properties and the market while working the same 10:00-2:30 Pfizer hours as everyone else. Some probably already have the same "seven on my side" as you, while being less than half your age. Big difference? We dont feel the need to brag on an anonymous forum for reps. Well...except for this time. But I was making a point.
