What just happened?





My job is safe & I have ZERO excitement now for launching this obesity drug.

Im sure to get paid my whole district will have to hit goal anyway.

FUCK Lilly


Yeah F* Lilly! But can I ask what made you so confident about keeping your gig? My understanding is no one knows until Tuesday. They need to fill 363 positions (370 two months ago) but have at least 400 reps (sr. Care + PC3). So, please tell us if you have any insight on how they made the decision to keep Vs layoff. Is it tenure, performance, who you know in HQ, qualifications, recommendation from DSM?

No

Somehow leadership said they didn’t frisée that senior care was worthless with them selling Trulicity to nursing homes lmaooo. So they decided to eliminate senior care all of the sudden.
Then they decided that to be fair to all 44 senior care reps, that they’d let them compete for the obesity positions that were already awarded to PC3 about 2 months ago.

So now with their wisdom & fancy maneuvering, they’ve pushed off 370 PC3 reps right before they launch obesity.

Genius move it tell ya. Fucking genius.

Oh yeah, they last minute decided that there’d be less obesity territories than originally promised just 2 months ago.
Our leadership is top notch and forward thinkers lolololol lmaooo lolololol
 




Since launch, it’s been obvious that too many people have too little knowledge and experience in the industry especially post Covid. Trying to discuss with leadership what was really happening in the marketplace prior to launch was met with complete disregard and statements such as “your just making excuses”. It seems like management, not sure which level because there are MANY HIGH PAID CHIEFS are MANAGING BY THE SEAT OF THEIR PANTS! Everyday I’m left speechless by the lack of preparedness and keep asking myself WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING AND WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS SHIT SHOW!

Tell me without telling me you’re young and dumb. This is pharmaceuticals it’s not for the faint of heart. Lilly ran the numbers through an advanced MBA model. Best part after January 1st and after Monjaro launches in October they will hire thirsty reps for half the price. Lilly will enjoy the tax write offs and claim to be doing gods work.
 








Why is Lilly marketing and recruiting for the obesity positions on the major job boards? If you think there are only 400 people being considered for these openings, you are not counting the thousands of external applicants lining up.

I don’t get it. Lilly is posting openings nationwide for obesity but they recently let some of the sales force that was supposed to sell this indication go? Why? What exactly happened?
 












You’re the idiot if you think it takes that many of you to sell this drug. Cuts coming to pc1 and 2 next. Or does it take two of you to say the same thing? Haha . Waste of money.
The DBU is the worst place to be. Why DO you all stay there?



it’s okay. I get it you were let go. Business is business and that’s okay. Sharpen your selling skills and don’t let this make you so upset. Reminder, nothing sells itself!
 




The history of Lilly layoffs started in 2006. Prior to that the company was honorable and ethical. It was post 2006 when the games started. 18 years later they are still playing games.

I’ve never been in the DBU nor would I go there. All of this is why. It’s going to keep happening. If you think all of the pc1 and 2 are needed, you’re crazy. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see it. I think YOU better sharpen your selling skills if you want to ever get out of a primary care job. Typical response from a “veteran” in primary care that drops samples and feeds staff. Haha. When you finally get into a real specialty role where dialogue matters, let us know!

Because lilly figured out pc3 is the most incompetent buncha goobers to ever sling pills.

Y'all shoulda seen the writing on the wall when they hired an entire contract sales force to sell your drug right under your nose. Pc3 completely fumbled emgality, almost fumbled jardiance and yall thought you would get rewarded with a shinny new specialty title and another drug to ruin. Gimme a break. Lilly won't stop til all y'all are gone.

Hmmmm…Where to begin?…I guess I’ll begin with this -You are clearly bitter & resentful, and you are also ignorant, full of “shiitake”, and really just plain stupid…
We “fumbled Emgality”?…How exactly is PC3 to blame for Emgality?..The entire CGRP marketplace -Emgality, Aimovig, Anjovy- has underperformed due in large part to Nurtec; that’s why all 3 injectable CGRPs will soon no longer have any sales force representation! So, the SPEC reps aren’t to blame for the lack of success? Not to mention the extraordinary blunder Lilly made with the Emgality vs Nurtec head2head study, but PC3 is to blame, right?
It was made very clear to PC3 from the beginning that Emgality was not that important, and that point was further illustrated by with Jardiance weighted more than double against Emgality (70/30).
Oh, and speaking of Jardiance, I’ll just repeat this little stat for you -Jardiance revenue grew by 54% in Q2; despite the fact the entire SGLT2 marketplace is in decline & rapidly losing ground to GLP-1s, and our very own behemoth, Mounjaro.
Now that I’ve spanked your pathetic little ass, feel free to go back under the giant rock you live, curl up in the fetal position, and cry yourself to sleep.
