It is not a surprise Xeljanz is now a call activity metric Primary Care division the last 2yrs.

Put Derm w I&I and hired VP with notthing but 20yrs of PC exp. Then hire mostly PC type of DMs and reps

Xeljanz expanded & hired a 30yr PC RD and 2nd RD who was a PC rep 5yrs ago.
Then more than doubled DMs who came from Primary Care that added 150 reps from PC

New Global President 25yr entire career been in PC & Europe

New US I&I Pres entire career in Europe PC

New I&I VP entire career Marketing & Operations where its 10000% about calls calls calls share of voice and more more reps for more more calls

Conclusion- why is anybody w Xeljanz surprise or shocked because its what has been created with hiring the last 24 months.

Not going to change and probably get more micro w call acricity driven culture, so if don't like that model then leave!
 




We morphed into primary care marketing driven follow orders canned presentations 2yrs ago when we expanded.
So it is not going to change w most leaders having a PC background. So live with it or leave but stop complaining as it is what it is.
