    What’s this all about? My wife is looking at a job there so I’ve asked around and so far found nothing.

    Not enough, it appears. Randy and ScottieG, architects behind the infamous Bevyxxa launch and discounts, are still there. Glad I left.

    Several managers and reps left my company to head to Portola. You guys must be doing something right.

    passed them in the hall. They were joining as a bunch of us are packing up to leave. Mid May and mid June

    Why leave mid May/ mid June?

    This was a terrible company to join right from the beginning. Worst company decision I could have ever made. An abysmal failure. Usually RSL gets right, but in this case it has simply been a gigantic cluster. Many are abandoning ship and looking for other jobs as the environment here is nothing short of desperation for sales..

    Right on what? Running Theravance straight into the ground? Or the industry-laughingstock Bevyxxa and Andexxa launches? So glad I left...

    I heard he's been throwing his friend Bill Lis under the bus but that can only buy limited time

    RSL is not a nice man. I remember working for Scios and he would say the F word at several meetings and tell people "If you don't like it, then get the F*ck out!" He is someone you never want to cross and if you don't perform, watch out!

    We the evil whatever better figure out a way to sell your product rather than just BURN though reps who come realize its a joke and leave. What a plan !! You're product is over priced and the hospitals feel like they can use the product from K centric ?? 4 factor which is nearly the SAME and CHEAPER .

    HELLLOOOOOOOOOO

    CEO Scott Garland when he begins at Portola: “Now let’s all get rich!“

    Same man, less than 2 years later: “Tell your employees good go back to f*cking work.”

    No, SG, you & your friends are getting rich. Enjoying those 75k shares each you received, C-level? You sure didn’t deserve it. You all screwed up, and laid off 30 people—a select few who were let go because their boss only wants to hire people from his old company—looking at you, IT. Compensation isn’t worth the incompetence. Constant pressure to keep the budget down, yet you send people international to celebrate launches...who had nothing to do with it. Eat like fat cats and drink like them too. Why did you spend 10k on a sign less than 3 years ago & re-brand within the last year? Why is the sales team celebrating with a tasting menu when Q4 was abysmal & you couldn’t sell Bev? Also heard there were champagne toasts for people who got promoted—less than a week since the lay-offs. Classy.
    Being laid off was a blessing.

    How is Randy doing with the leadership of the salesforce? Is he breaking balls for underperformers? What a shitshow it is. Expanded the salesforce way too soon, before the major Societies/Academies provided a 1a recommendation for Andexxa. Soldier on good Reps of Portola.
