<p>[QUOTE="anonymous, post: 6682414"]And as we learn the news of yet more industry layoffs over the past week or two (Exact Sciences and Takeda come to mind), there is further proof that the industry remains as volatile as ever, and that there is absolutely no job security (a few may beat the odds and remain employed for years at their companies, but they are the anomalies - many will be lucky to last 1-2 years before being cut or driven off by a sociopathic manager). Here is more evidence (a recent Cafe post from the Takeda board):</p><p><br /></p><p>This is just sad. Look, I understand the need to reduce the head count. It’s business and we had too many reps in this current environment and the future is a small sales force requirement. However, to lay off this many reps (and many great reps) then turn around and post 63 openings simply tells you all you need to know about this place. Their “culture” call yesterday was a joke. They just don’t get it and are too ignorant to see how moves like this define their culture. We are a number here and that’s it. They really don’t even care about your performance or what you contribute to the organization. If they did and really knew who their “good” reps were they would have used this as an opportunity to cut the ones that wanted to go and eliminated the ones that were just a warm body in a territory. Instead they let go according to them “the beloved specialty rep” and promoted the primary care rep that barely leaves their house. Some people were wanting out and others were really hoping to stay and working to be positive and change the culture. It’s business and I know they have to cut while balancing the legal side of the layoff but these people are to incompetent to figure out how to minimize risk and keep talent. Or the more obvious is they simply don’t care. I get the business side. I really do. However, I don’t see how the top leaders look in the mirror at night knowing how their was no human input given and how unfair many of these layoffs have been. Until they address that component (which takes a lot more effort) their culture will never be right. As long as they keep lying and having senior leadership telling lies they will never change the culture. So in a very long answer….why the hell would you even want to apply for an opening in this division? It’s still in trouble so you buy yourself a year or two at best. Move on and get away from the toxicity. I promise this isn’t normal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
