It's clear where the pyramid really lies based on who's getting retention bonus and who's jobs are already secured.
Is this a joke? They only thing clear is no one wants to tell us the truth...and that is people may lose their jobs. Kathy at least mentioned it briefly by saying "in the event you lose your job..the bonus would be prorated". Did anyone else catch it? Thank you for at least acknowledging that it's a very real possibility. Regardless of the new indications. They also mentioned the size of the nueroscience sales force as small but didn't mention the humira sales force is quite large. It's been a good meeting so far minus the bs.
This is a good point. But Unless you are going to actually stand up and ask the real questions at the meeting don't post. No one today asked anything tough with the exception of one guy and maybe one other person. It's the same talk "make money, do well, stay focused" this to lead you to believe if you do these things you will be employed. It's simply not true. We all know several quality reps that were in the top or president club winners laid off in 2012. Results have very little to do with your job status. That's the sad truth that the big wigs don't want to tell you before our biggest sales time of the year. They want you to stay focused so they can continue to proved for their families when you are out on the street in a few months. If you are not sending out resumes you are an idiot.
I don't want to be repeating the above but.... Spot on!!!!!! If you don't listen to this advice and believe it you are a very naive, unrealistic moron. There will be terminations! There is no way around it. .......Stay focused is translates to make the company Monet, stick your head in the sand, and hope you have a job when the dust settles. You will see at least a 25% reduction by end of year, then gradually and quietly another 50% will be gone by June 15. Believe nothing you are told by the management of either company. The bullshit that will be flying in the next months will bury you if you put any faith in it. Even if you are retained......how long will it last. Look out for yourself because no one else will be. L
Quit now, sleep in tomorrow, the world is crashing in. Or maybe I can just do what I am paid to do and work. Work or leave its that simple.
Dosn't change the pyramid bullshit they're spewing out. Anyone with any perspective at all sees right through it.
Anyway, herbalife; all the pyramid schemes are semi-legal scams. Many work, prey on friends and family so very few make a shitload of money. Pharma is an inverted pyramid, more assholes at the top than at the bottom. If the money to pay their ridiculous salaries can be made with 100 reps or 1000 they're happy. Lay off too many? Hire more cheap labor until they aren't needed and dump them. We are in a precarious situation. The idiots above are all scrambling to keep their useless jobs and once that is settled, their focus will turn to us. It is going to be very unsettled for at least the next year, or longer.
So funny! He used to pronounce glaucoma, 'glue-coma'. Bausch and lomb, 'bosh and loomb' We used to say get that penii out of your mouth and quit lisping.
