Why no word from Leadership?!?!

All these cuts, stress, anxiety, changes, and no email from our leaders? No words of encouragement, insight into the future, or even a fake thanks for hanging in there. Everyone is de-motivated and mentally exhausted. Even from a greed perspective this is a mistake. They won't make their precious sales bonus leaving us to hang like this. Idiots. Failed at being empathetic and as a greedy business guru to boot. Double fail leadership.

This is the most truthful, rational, and insightful post I've ever seen on this website and was worthy of my first ever comment.
 






Because they don't care. Every single move they made the past few months has been designed to prime the numbers for a sale to Pfizer around Dec or Jan. They moved winners to low performing areas, left band aids on high performing areas and reallocated resources in order to get a quick bump where needed and slashed some big salaries. Nothing they have done is designed to be sustained long-term...its just cooking the books for a while.

Seriously? What would lead you to believe this executive team would communicate with
the sales team after today? Worst leadership I have seen in years!
I would expect nothing less from this group.
 












They thanked me today by letting me go now. Like a band aid - rip it off fast.

You think they are worried about bonuses - hey dummy, go look at any financial site - the exec team is cashing 8 digit bonus checks.

Jerry just cashed in $9 mil in January, sold company, got a promotion to new company and is looking at a nice share of a $150 mil exec bonus package.

I really feel lucky to have been cut - I will take my severance and gladly run. Good luck in layoff #2 when Pfizer buys Actavis and everybody gets slashed.

How long until we sell the whole COPD franchise? Go ponder that...

And our stock would be even worth a shit load more. Let's look at the positive

Good point on the COPD franchise. If you got stuck with that or still have it you can't be feelong good at all. That's pretty much telling you that you're first up to get cut on the next layoffm

Holy fuck. Are you an adult? Because you sound like a fucking ten year old. "Why don't mommy and daddy tell me everything is going to be ok?! Why don't they tell me what a good job I am doing?!" Because you are an adult!! Sounds like you are a god damned titty baby.
 






The 'rep' position has fallen way way down in the pharma corporate consciousness...a million years ago, when a sales force of 400 reps nationwide total for a pharma co. was considered a Huge Sales the rep was treated like a prized race horse...now the position is looked at as completely disposable,

yep. the rep position is now just a commodity that is easily traded, cut, moved, bought and sold. Just a cost of doing business. Partly managed care/insurance/access and mostly from pharma companies taking the "share of voice" metric and POD direction. It burnt offices out and gave the industry a bad name.

If those companies would have chilled out on massive and omnipresent sales forces there still might be some life left.
