You Heard It Here First...

































Who’s lying? Nobody promised us that we would be keeping our jobs ornhat there wouldn’t be cuts. And if you think you can truly trust any company in corporate America you are either stupid or naive. It’s common sense that there will be cuts. They never said there wouldn’t be. It’s there job to say “business as usual” until changes happen. Do you expect them to say “hey everyone just chill and do nothing until we decide who is staying and who is going?” Although relatively futile, of course they are going to expect people to work. It’s a business after all. And of course they have the names ready, or nearly ready. They have to have this information ready and signed off on before disseminating out to the field and putting the changes into place. Either you’re very naïve or not very business savvy. Anyone with half a brain should expect layoffs in a transition like this, it’s just a matter of the timing and which side of the coin you land on. But it’s your job to take care of yourself and look out for your future-not theirs. That’s how it works in the real world where they don’t owe you anything millennials.
 




Kazu Takeda, one of the descendants of the founders of the 237-year-old company, told The Times, “Hasty decisions on big deals should be avoided. It will lead to disaster if there are large-scale mergers and acquisitions without careful consideration.”
 




"We are definitely against [it].... [The] financial risk is too big, while [the] expected merit is quite limited," said Takeda at a news conference in Tokyo. "M&A is quite necessary for Takeda's future, but this deal is too risky,"
 




















June.....or sooner. Hung mole
I’d be surprised if they waited until June-5 months post close. Fiscal year starts April 1. Thisbwas an expensive purchase. They will want to become as efficient as possible as quickly as they can properly do it. Likely, they’ll want to have the field people in their appropriate positions/territories and trained on their appropriate products sooner rather than later. And I would think this would fall very much in line with kicking off a new fiscal year hitting the ground running. Not an insider here. But just using some logical thinking. They aren’t going to want to carry dead weight longer than they can if they can figure out how to efficiently place people.
