OP here. I see that someone has stolen my thread, this is the original and they are merely an imitator. I have re-started the thread as the old one was getting too long. Next level announcements were expected today but will be made either Thursday or Friday of next week now. This will give you a greater sense of what is happening at HQ; I know how confusing all this must seem to you. We here are truly sorry. The stock price is one of the most important things to the board now and it has to be to all of us too.We do work for the stockholders; well at least for now, if you will forgive the pun. Prioritization has been done and the 5 year plan calls for a dramatic reduction in the CV and Respiratory franchise. We also must eliminate the HCV franchise and pair down the Vaccine Division. That's all for now and I will share any and all relevant information as it becomes available.

Sincerely,
A friend in HQ

First, let me say thank you so much for your help. It has meant a lot to me and my husband. The comment about Vaccines has me deeply concerned. I am glad that you have shared it with us. Your accuracy is almost 100%. I do realize that this thing is fluid and you are not responsible for last minute changes. I have taken vacation days for next Thursday and Friday in anticipation of the bad news. Thanks again.
 








OP reminds all of us who we work for and the reason why: Stockholders/Share Price : Money(PROFIT)...anything and everything that doesn't move the needle forward on those and only those 2 items will be looked at (this is a huge corporation, we're slow, lot's of meetings, bureaucratic layers..but even at a glacial pace..things move forward)

Yes, at least the OP is honest with us. For once there is someone who is transparent. Who has the balls to just level with us. I appreciate the honesty. I appreciate the OP. OP for president!

OP here. I do have a couple more details of things to come next week. You will see exact numbers and no more approximations of the number of cuts and the savings it will produce. The focus and priorities have been set by the most senior level management. As for changes down the food chain, expect HIV to be trained on HCV in order to be flexible to handle the vacancies that will result from next weeks announcements. Women's Health Care is still being worked out. There are legal hurdles that still need to be overcome. There is much more to come. Again, good luck to all of my friends and colleagues.

I don't think those people are waiting for an announcement. This is from the Abbvie board:
"Merck HCV reps are already interviewing for the positions. Ver few will be given to Abbvie reps."

"Tru Dat. I doubt very many of the 65 will be left. Maybe 10-12?"

OP, can you share your knowledge about Oncology and about HSC's (all divisions)? Thanks in advance.
 








Dear OP. Thx for info. What about Anesthesiology? Will they combine with Port 1 and downsize, keep their jobs as is or be out? Thx.

OP, THANKS for all the help. Can you tell me how soon we can expect to file for unemployment if we are in the categories you mentioned. My family is getting our affairs in order now. Thanks again for your treasured information.
