The fact is, Forest has never laid anyone off!!!!! But, they have never had too!!! When Celexa went generic, the had Lexapro, which did even better with Celexa. This is in a time where Antidepressants were taking off across the board. Then others branded antidepressants were going generic. Market share started to fall. Then is a desperation move, forest hired another sales force, or expansion. They were really counting on Namenda taking up some slack, which it did, but nowhere the volumne of Lexapro. Tnen a few others, bla bla bla. All the others combined do not equal what Lexapro has done in regards to generating revenue.
They have preached to us for years, we have never laid off anyone, and dont plan too!!!! I have heard Mr. Lynch talk this for a few years now, I have heard he has been saying it for longer than that. Our last POA in Orlando we were told the same thing.
Fact is...
1. They have never laid off anyone!!! This is true!!! But this is also past tense.
2. We dont plan on laying off anyone!!!! Well, I plan on hitting my goals every quarter. I plan on retiring a millionare. I plan on on BLA BLA BLA. These are just words!!! Do you actually think he would tell everyone they are going to layoff employees??? If you believe this, take another hit off of what Jerry is smoking!!!!
They will have layoffs in next month and not blink an eye at letting a few divisions go!!!
