Pfizer lay-off spell doom for Otsuka

All they needed was a big dog to lead the way, done. This fall we are toast.

 

You should work for Lundbeck! We are safe over here because our management is to stupid to figure out how to do a layoff! By the way, if I ever, ever have to give an actual detail on Rexulti, I think I will vomit!

 

It does not take much brains to lay off peeps. Don't kid yourself! The fact is we have become completely irrelevant. Nothing new, Samplecloset.com, too many of us, no access, what's the point of having us?
If anyone here says they are truly productive, they are simply lying!

 

Never in history have there been so many people doing so little making so much money. Yes, we have become totally unimportant. Years ago, we brought insights and value. Today, we do nothing else but bring lunches, get signatures and spend the rest of our time lying and making up fake call notes to justify our jobs. And our managers and RDs "manage" the reps doing it, while patients are getting ripped off for our crappy meds! Some world we live in!!!

 

My husband works for an engineering company. The have chemical engineers with master's degrees and 10 years experience making less than our lowest paid account managers. I know I'm probably toward the bottom since I didn't join here with a ton of experience, but this job is easy and I like visiting my nurses for lunch.

 

Few patients pay full retail for our drugs, plus they do not have to take "our crappy meds."

 

Wrong! Insurance companies pay for the drugs and charge their patients with outrageous premiums accordingly. But you are right on one point: They don't have to take our crappy drugs.

 

Enjoy your job as a paid visitor for as long as it lasts...We need more paid visitors at Otsuka. I am sure you discuss babies, hairstyles and the latest fashion trends...

 

District Managers and RDs have been ordered by Upper Management NOT to comment on CafePharma!!!

 

Another idiotic rep

 

Really????? How so????

 

Our jobs have become boring, purposeless and unnecessary....

 

With the "skills" acquired here, you really are of no interest to any employer!

 

Just do what I do all day long: Watch Tubebdsm.com

 

Love it...over 44 million videos for ambitious and bright reps that want to increase their knowledge, skills and passion...

 

I look at it this way: We have 5 major factors against us:

1.) COVID-19 and office closures

2.) Trump signing 4 initiatives to lower drug prices

3.) Samplecloset.com, samples are mailed

4.) Zero new information to change Drs. prescribing habits

5.) Many offices that are now closed to reps will never fully reopen again

If you can't see the writing on the wall, you will be left behind. Plan and act now!

 

If I’m making decisions, I hire one hundred young attractive women to cater lunches and retail in key markets. That’s it. No samples, no speaker programs, no details. Just pretty reminders.
That the state of our industry. We make no difference.

 

Great idea: They should wear a tight T-shirt with "Prescribe Rexulti" printed on.
I'll suggest it to marketing.

 

So at Lundbeck they say a re structure is coming this fall and when asked, Otsuka doing the same.
