The meeting is this week.... our manager when we inquired on a call just played stupid about what was the theme. Most likely their core issue will be how to keep us from giving up and recognizing we need to be finding a job elsewhere.
Both, don't be fooled. This will be an all out blood bath. Consolidation is very real and migration to more defined territories is the start of new things to come. Leaner is the new norm in pharma.
My manager told me this meeting is off the books and just the ASM team, no one in leadership will go. The real meeting is at the end of August when everyone (psych and neuro) get the new territory info. This is pretty much the last hurrah for these asms. They know their time is limited so where better to go out with a bang but New Orleans. There’s no real reason for this at all. None.
Need to really cut the number of ASM back. Heard. there are some ASM’s they would love to get rid of . VThie is the time to do it!
One ASM could easily deal with 12 to 14 reps, and we all know it. Because of the extreme micromanagement due to having such a small number of reps. morale is in the shitter. They keep piling on higher and higher quotas even if you don’t even come close to the last 2 or 3! The whole place is now just a bad joke.
west side is there too for neuro there is no reason for it other than trying to keep the managers heads in the game of putting on a good front in the face of impending doom
Neuro side can confirm area territory changes coming. Meeting with managers at end of August. No layouts for actual territories yet. Regionals did not share specifics yet. This will be another game of Lundbeck picking winners and losers with territory alignments. Stand by for lots of change for Neuro and Psych
Now really? Are you that close with your manager that they would call you crying about work? They do not have a husband/wife?
