Agreed. This was a disaster. People with decades of service to this company, with excellent numbers and awards, were shown the door.
Normally during a layoff, people are let go because their territory or division was eleminated. With this one, they were let go and their position given to a Meda person.
There were also co-workers that were put into the wrong conference calls. Some were told they had a job, and then were later told they were put on wrong call, and did not. Others were told they were laid off, and after going through that grief, were told- sorry, our mistake, you have a job.
Some districts are destroyed. Some lost amazing DM's, while some lost the majority of their team. Hard working, long time employees, replaced by people that don't even live near the territories.
There were people that attend the Dash, to celebrate their success last weekend, only to be let go a few days later.
Mylan had a great reputation. It was a great place to work. We used to be proud to say where we worked and what we sold. We Sales Reps, have taken a beating for the last several months. We defended our company and outrageous price hikes, because that's what we were told to go. Heck, we even believed the bs they told us.
The truth is, the employees sold the Epi Pen, and sold it well. We with put up the our customers anger (justified), will at the Same time trying not to have our reputations ruined in the process.
Whose fault is it that this has happened? We can all point fingers at the usual suspects, but in reality, it's our own fault. We allowed ourselves to be fooled. Tricked into believing that Mylan was different. "Do what's right, not what's easy".
Mylan should have followed its own advice.
