    I don't want to fight. Any DM or rep with common sense isn't falling for the lies they are telling to ensure the most work possible of us before layoffs. We are 40+ mil down, 5 reps in some territories with the same bag, DMs with only 7 reps. Change is coming. DMs discussing next week. Not just talking reviews. Be prepared for the worst. Hope for the best.

    DMs are meeting next week, fact. They were told no layoffs, but I think they know more about a 'restructuring' than the reps do. My DM made it seem like there will be territory changes but not a loss of head count. Guess we will find out next week

    In speaking with a lot of reps that I know in Alcon across eye care, I'm led to believe that Alcon is testing some territory changes & that the rest of the business unit will follow suit. There are eye care territories with no GSR partners, no overlapping MSR, and no OSR. Some have ASRs which carry all 6 eye care products. Now Alcon won't give every rep 6 products because there's no way a Dr will give a rep time to talk about 6 products. But they could keep the 'divide and conquer' strategy where GSRs do not work together, but do call on lower-volume ODs. Keep one MSR. I just don't see a place for OSRs but according to the posters above, there will be no layoffs!

    Well, any word on the DM meeting? Are we all going to have to interview against our colleagues for our jobs?
