TAKEDA LAYOFFS IMMINENT

Honestly, how do they not make cuts? They can just leave us with Uloric and pay us 100%. Doesn’t make business sense.

 

This will be an interesting week. We will see if any of the rumors will play out. Play close attention tomorrow.

 

September baby... straight from the horses mouth... Oh... organizational reassessment !

 

Christophe just mentioned the "Structure" word while speaking in Boston, and looking at it every 4 years to ensure it "makes sense". Sounded like he was eluding to possible changes that might be coming in September.

 

I still would not be surprised if there is something that we hear in the field by the end of this month. Salesforce has not been rehiring for the most part. ("We have learned that the territory did not need that many reps and have the correct number now" Didn't you find that out with the reorg before??) and still no word on the national meeting for travel...

 

he said, we are booking travel in advance to save money. So...where is our NSM travel?

 

Generically challenging year for 2018; We are assessing how we sell in this new customer base (something along those lines) during April-July. We will know in September how to proceed for the next 5 years...What else do you really need to hear?

 

Honestly,when this week is up

 

He definitely mentioned restructure, or structure of our organization, and September. It's a large organization (Global) so it wasn't completely clear if he was referring to USBU. We should get clarity tomorrow afternoon.

 

It definitely is the USBU... why do you think he is doing one for us? It's probably only the US involved in this little game

 

Yea...ITA PP, EXCEPT the address was done in the US and CW did mention reviewing the current structure of calling on primary care...

 

Had to dial in 4 different times. I did pick up some useful info. Nothing outside we have a generic problem. I guess other companies have found a way to deal with this seemingly new issue. CW, please tell me our high paid executives could not have come with a better excuse for layoffs.

 

or what about a damn BD deal that we can actually sell in the next decade.

A year ago tomorrow. Just saying.

 

and yet the news is more encouraging...strange how all this can be.

 

I talked to Ramona this week and everybody is safe. She said that we are all needed. No worries. Best news I've had in a while.

 

Yes business as usual!

Nothing to see here... our patients are counting on us!!

 

I really can’t believe everybody is avoiding this conversation... I would like to know if anybody has any inside knowledge...

 

it appears nobody really knows. Maybe it won’t happen
