  • Unless you file a deferment with Fidelity at least 1 year before you leave BMS with instructions on disbursement, it is paid as a lump sum at the time of separation. Depending on the amount it could lead to significant tax liability.

  • Many of those 30-40 year vets were around when big pharma paid out huge stock packages and pensions. Sticking around until retirement age means you get the full pension. I know a rep who retired from Merck at 50 using their old rule of 65 (age plus years of service) with a full pension. He went on to work at JnJ until 60 and is now eligible for their pension. Two pensions plus seven figures in company stock. How nice it must be knowing you have a paycheck worth about 85% of your five highest working years that will show up every two weeks for the rest of your life. Subsidized healthcare benefits too. Newer reps who joined after the gilded age will never see financial benefits like that. So it doesn't make sense to those folks that someone would stay the course until retirement.
