<p>[QUOTE="Former Takeda speaker, post: 3905968"]After several years of being a speaker for Actos, I got the axe. This does not come as a shock given the life cycle of the product (though I would think with your current products, upcomming products and pipeline; you would want spend significant dollars promoting Actos up until it goes generic). What is upsetting is not that I was "fired", but the manner in which it was done.

[QUOTE="Former Takeda speaker, post: 3905968"]After several years of being a speaker for Actos, I got the axe.

Here's the email I received today: Dear Speaker, MD: Thank you for your commitment to Takeda and for your participation in the Diabetes Speaker Bureau. As we continue to evolve in this changing landscape, we have re-evaluated the strategic needs of the Diabetes Speaker Bureau. Unfortunately, due to this re-evaluation, we are unable to renew your contract for fiscal year 2011.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact Christopher Caggiano at (224) 554-1775. Sincerely, The ACTOS Professional Marketing Team That's it?!?!?! After years of programs in offices and restaurants, trying my best to promote the value of TZD's in the use of type 2 diabetes to many physicians simply too scared to use them under restrictions that border on censorhip; that's all I get? A dear Dr. John letter? I think I deserve a little bit more than that. How about something that sounds almost like Takeda is sorry to see me go? Now, I understand I am speaking to a group of people that fear being fired on a daily basis. However, I am not employee of the company, but rather a customer. A very loyal one at that. After receiving an email like this, how excited to you think I am going to be about writing prescriptions for Uloric, Dexilant, and that new ARB you have coming out? I really hope that Takeda treats their employees/reps better than they treat their speakers. Somehow I doubt it.[/QUOTE]
