185 gone

It depends upon the territory. In our state HS went from four down to two.

 

I lost both my partners and my manager as well the person who hired me. Sad day

 

similar here

 

The new norm around here is wait by the phone every holiday season and prepare for the most ridiculous choices to be made by a third party. If you think you were kept because you are better than your partner that got clipped...think again. This was so damn rigged it should be criminal. Sleep tight, those of you that survived.

 

It is the new world. The best do not always keep their job.

 

They flipped a few DCS's to Es and Es to DCSs here

 

Anybody get an accurate count on the actual carnage. I know some areas were not hit that hard but around here it was pretty brutal. Had to be more than 185 nationwide.

 

About 120 in the field.

 

Correct! 45 of those 120 were OCS

 

Also, lots of posted jobs for displaced folks and more jobs to be posted for anyone who wants to apply, starting next week. A lot of unnecessary territory shake-ups and weird placements, but it seems there are plenty of jobs if someone wants to take them. This seemed to be not as bad as predicted on here.

 

Yes, the mantra is that decisions are made by a 3rd party. I guess that its just a coincidence that many of us correctly predicted whom would be cut in our region.

 

when is the next round?

 

Same time next year.

 

Post 3Q earnings. B careful. 185 will b a drop in the bucket. Focus will b on mgmt.

 

Yeah baby, yeah.

 

That sounds like an exact repeat of what you said it would be this time around. Can you just go ahead and admit that you are full of shit? It's obvious to everyone else, but you seem to be acting like your words have meaning and credibility, when it's obvious that they do not.

 

Good luck to you.
