istavision.com is still up but the company fact sheet has already been changed http://www.istavision.com/pdf/Bausch_Lomb_FactSheet2012.pdf
Attention all ISTA Sales Reps! As we all know by now, this was not a merger, but a buy out. The number will be about 30 to 40 ISTA reps that will be retained. The rest of us will get our walking papers. All this will go down next week. B&L has had the list of reps who they are laying off for some time now. I guess the worlds greatest sales force will have no issues finding another job. When the announcement happened back in late March, since then we have been fed false information. We have been treated like 3rd graders throughout this process. I blame the ISTA leadership team for all the dis-information and now the B&L leadership team for making a mockery out of this on last weeks conference calls. Please share your thoughts. Its therapeutic to hear from others in the sales force on this board.
what impeding layoffs, my manager has said nothing to us--where are you getting this informaiton from, i was just making strides in my territory
I was wondering if my new car at B&L will have lumbar support? ISTA seemed to have cheaped out with that feature in my previous vehicle.
You mean not having a roommate is not used as a sales incentive at B&L?!?!? Let me guess. The trade off is no toilet paper. You have to win President's Club to get toilet paper at meetings, right?
