Seems like everyone is shutting down for August until we know more. Makes no sense to work hard at this point. Good luck everyone!

Is shared services center impacted?

did they get same termination date of january 27 2023 or did their termination date begin immediately? asking because they were specifically excluded from the voluntary severance program then canned 24 hours later despite being field. novartis was able to escape the requirements of the WARN act by firing less than 50 and just canning 47. i am curious as to whether the field firings will be done this way to save money or if novartis will do the right thing and give everyone the same january 27 termination date. earlier termination date is a big difference in money and benefits for those affected. maybe this explains why field reps are not eliguble for the volunteer program?

You don’t understand WARN. It’s a 50 people threshold if it’s a layoff a plant closing. It’s 500 or 33% (whichever is less) for mass layoff (not due to plant closing).

No cuts at all in immunology. Just other divisions...its always best to be with the main revenue driver of the company. Best of luck to all. God Bless.

Reduce head count of ABLs!!! They are smoke and mirrors and bring little value to Novartis other than an overpaid babysitter and box checker.
