    Looks like alignment meetings are being set up for early September. Not that it is a surprise but here we go again.

    How many years do we have to count to know that this is done every year ? It may be good or it may be bad, but it is happening.

    Ask your manager. If they are honest, they will give you a heads up.

    This is exactly why Pfizer is no longer considered a marketing company. You cannot continually change their sales divisions. it's like the blind leading the blind. We don't have enough products today to have that many sales forces. One representative carrying all products with a complementing sales representative and that's it. At least your doctor will know who he can depend on when having a question about a Pfizer product. Plus, you have a sales force that can feel confident they will not be continually changing product responsibility. It's a sad day when those jokers in the home office doesn't realize this. It takes time to establish trust between u and the offices. That goes for the doctor as well as the staff.

    Just remember our ownership culture - which in some cases means to own your layoff..........

    Honestly, they are. It's no surprise to many people. Everyone understands the need to restructure but no one wants to lose the cake job.
    My manager is acting very low key but he did let me know that although there will be changes, it will NOT effect Institutional Sales OR Vaccines!
    Woohoo! Woohoo!

    Not specifically an alignment meeting. All the senior managers will be at HQ for the 2015 Op Plan meeting the last week of September. They will announce our budget and how many bodies fit in that budget. If less than we currently need, I think you can finish the rest. Betting we need less. My guess is they merge C3 into C1 in some fashion. C1 sells our bread & butter Lyrica and already has Viagra in their bag. Can easily pick up Toviaz. That's if it's still worth promoting it.

    ya, you're right. We'll be losing a 3b dollar drug and our response will be combine bag 3 w bag 1. I mean there are about 150 cluster 3 reps, if we got rid of all of them we should be good.

    Or should we apply SOME biz acumen and assume a loss of $3b will force Pfizer to make sig. adjustments in # of Reps. I envision C! looking a lot like C2. If anything move Toviaz to C4. This means a 100% reduction in C3, 50% reduction in C1.
