The timeline "private and confidential"

Lumbering bureaucracies like sanofi are not malicious. They are just too big and that makes for little or no communication between departments. We had one rep who, on Thursday, received communication that he and his wife were invited to KC for a week long, all expenses paid celebration of his 25th company anniversary. On the following Monday, he received a phone call at noon while driving from his regional manager who read a
'you are laid off script to him!

 

Comm’on that’s not true.. been around a long time and that doesn’t happen unless there’s an HR issue (lying on expense reports, fibbing on calls, etc)

 

Even my fantasies aren't this sexy

 

See you Friday at the McDonald's off Dundee the usual time for the full BF experience.

 

What

 

Sanofi voted most entertaining thread on cafe pharma. You guys rock. Definitely envied.

 

Well, is Dec 8th still the day????

 

Can you give us an update? When will the announcements take place for the placement for 2018?

 

Genzyme Renal just let go of their Salesforce and Biosurgery reps find out today. Managers found out yesterday.

 

They let go of the entire renal salesforce?

 

The renal force was let go 2 weeks ago

 

So much for TRANSPARENCY!

 

Dec 8th is confirmed...all GBUs will be effected...dengue news yesterday didn’t help...€100M impact

 

Says who? I think they were pretty clear that nothing would be announced concerning realignment until Q1.

 

No they said the changes would not happen until 2018. They will cut in December and your last day is January

 

Some reps who took the SERIO package are required to stay until March 30. This is the writing on the wall. Changes effective Q2 while all remains the same for Q1. They didn't let any territories go without reps. Kept 2 in each. Yes, some ABLs took the package. Good thing! They definitely need more reps/manager so the ABL team will still be hardest hit in some areas. Sanofi is actually allowing "celebration" lunches/dinners for areas with retiring people.

 

I don’t know what event you guys were referring to for December 8th, but I’ve seen some huge surprises in corporate starting last week. Something big is coming.

 

So what surprises have you seen in corporate? Positive or negative changes? What do you mean something big is coming? Layoffs or positive changes?

 

Well that clears things up! Really? If that's the case- then just put the facts out there. Everyone would like some damn direction and changes !
