We at Ista had 5 RM's. Now B&L is going to have 3. I would assume this means 3 things. #1 we are looking at a new sales force no larger than 200 or so. #2 even B&L could see how top heavy Ista's sales force was. #3 B&L only took 1 RM from Ista and all other sales mgmt was let go. this means they do not value Ista people and I don't expect them to hire many of us unless there is an open position ot just a really horrible B&L rep. This is a buy-out and not a merger.
and B&L is doing the interviewing. Do you really think when it comes down to it a B&L person is going to hire a Ista person over someone they have known for years? Fools.
NEWS FLASH. the DM's have already interviewed and been told if they were hired. The ones who were not we're told their last day is this Tuesday. Yes Brent was hired but not in his original region so he really can't "keep his team" his old team is in another region, so wherever your getting your info is not reliable.
Brian (manager for KS) was not retained unless he was offered another position within the company that I have not heard about, his last day will be Tuesday
Get out pharma. This will be the type life you will over and over and over. Thats why I left. Now I work for myself.
