    My hubby and I toasted with champagne this weekend. Glad I made the cut because the job market is horrible in the pharma industry. I know it may not last long at Purdue but at least I have some breathing room. I certainly wish the best to those who were severed. Good things will come to you!!!

    Your happiness is fleeting and the pressure you wil experience will quickly extinguish the smug sense of accomplishment you feel

    Correct! So the "new"territories (post layoffs) will have no counterparts. How much pressure do you think that you will get now?

    And with a declining opiod market....and therefore a declining OIC market....and huge managed care issues out there...how successful do you think you will be selling Symproic?

    Sucks to be you! Those who were smart enough to start looking over last months are in a good spot. Now add all the Pernix and Depomed reps over last month or two, positions are very limited. Enjoy your time selling Symproic and then entering the market with only scraps left. You are as smart as the person ranting there will be no layoffs.

    All this back and forth between those that stayed and those severed is really kinda lame. Let's face it...Ain't nobody gonna be here in less than a year, so whether you were lucky enough to stay or lucky enough to get cut...in the big picture, it's was and is time for us all to move on. As far as the people that say because of all the layoffs etc etc etc there will be no jobs. BS...there are lots of jobs available. It's just that old schoolers that have ridden this gravy train for years are about to find out...that unless your willing to work on contract for far less. You have out earned yourself from contention from the majority of permanent jobs. Time to really think about reinventing ourselves. This industry has changed for the worse and it happened a while back!

    I guess we are just going to cede this whole market to Collegium

    OP, why would you type such a post? About half of the sales force is now unemployed and you come on here bragging that you survived. Either you are clueless or a heartless bitch. I don't work for Purdue but I was laid off recently and spent more months than I expected to finally find work.

    To those affected, good luck.

    I made the cut too....but I am dealing with a bit of " Survivor's Guilt" Syndrome. Any others dealing with it too?

    Definitely do not feel guilty about keeping your job! And I wouldnt listen to anyone on here about how you should feel either. Bottom line is you need to make some tough decisions about what the future holds at PP. I certainly would not believe a word that comes out of the mouth of anyone in a "leadership" role any longer. But be happy your not going through what we are...Although, I have to admit I was 50/50 on wanting to stay or go. There is definitely a sense of relief now that Im done with this place.

    Well said. This was a needed push for many who were too comfortable to leave a drowning ship. My hope is that those still remaining use this time to feverishly look for a job. Staying at PPLP will not be a rewarding experience or a good career decision.

    Not necessarily true. It depends on your location. Just like territories, not all locations are the same. Be grateful if you reside in a larger city.

    luckily I fell into an offer from a great company one week after the layoff... maybe this layoff was getting myself out of an over scrutinized factory of pain early. .... So many GREAT reps were cut it’s crazy.

    I'm one of the lucky ones "selected " to be laid off. The stress was quickly leaving me as I cleaned out the office and basement, boxing stuff up. My hair is darker and its starting to grow back. Sleep is wonderful again. I might ask her for sex, (maybe).

    They are so predictable. Layoff all the working reps, and keep the 10 - 2'ers. No wonder they are having no success.

    That’s a true comment. It’s very obvious that the workers who produced the most results were let go. Why is this? If your trying to turn things around why not keep the most productive

    Is this witch serious? Posted to getting to stay with PP? You must exude class! I was here for a VERY brief stent after I was impacted by a “reorg” from a reputable pharma company & took the first opportunity I could to get out of pp...you should toast to being a total bitch. People lost their jobs and you’re rubbing it in?

    Anyone who didn't get laid off will be looking hard for a new job, good luck

    Who got cut and who did makes no sense and never has...anyone who's witnessed pharma industry cuts over the last 10 years is fully aware of this...we're just a territory number on a spreadsheet - that's it...

    It's probably been the best time in last 10 yrs to be in the job market..so could luck to all in the hunt.
