lets change things up from all the negativity. Lets BE POSITIVE who wants to share positive displacement stories?! I’ll begin! I was a LASR. Displaced during the november downsizing. Already landed a new gig with a 30k bigger base and double the bonus. Wooh thank you avanir for paying me for 2 months to find a better job. Anyone else cash in?
Great feed and great news for you! Happy to hear you found a better position. I also know of several displaced NAMS who found better positions. I was not displaced, but I am rooting for those who were and those who remain.
Unfortunately I am hearing that most of the laid off reps have not found another position and now their severance is over and the company car has been taken away. Not a lot of pharma rep jobs out there, an the ones that are open 25 layed off reps apply for them.
Unfortunately this is true. Unemployment pays like shit and health insurance is too expensive to buy on your own. I’ll be okay for a few months but if I don’t find something by end of spring I’m screwed
I found a much better opportunity. Base pay is considerably higher, bonus potential is greater, 3 or 4 drugs to market with more expected, and my new manager isn't a spineless puppet.
