Layoffs

Fresh from the press. Mainly ITS, US an DE team will be touched.

 

What is DE team?

ITS like help desk? Information Technology
We outsource that.

 

Germany

 

DE = Germany.
ITS = helpdesk. It will be even more outsourced, so everybody will have even more difficulties dealing with longer delays and unhelpful unqualified person in India living in a completely different timezone.

 

As is normal there will be layoffs in other areas I’m sure. Massachusetts sites have laid off some after fit4. More will follow for sure very soon

 

Who cares if they layoff some IT people in France. Our helpdesk for field sales is US based and are busy enough with all the veeva fuckups that happen on a daily basis.

 

..which press articles do you have?

 

Try opening up your work computer more than once per month and read daily news feed we get. Numerous articles on layoffs. Again after fumbling around with trying to log onto your computer because your password expired the news feed will lay it out for you.

 

Get ya news here...hot off the press!
Some French employees of drug giant Sanofi will receive an unwanted Christmas present this year – pink slips. The company will lay off 670 employees in France on what has been reported as a “voluntary basis.”

 

NJ Home Office is preparing for lay-off exercises now. Rumor is that they’re looking for about a 20% reduction.

 

Yawn. What else is new?

 

Remember the townhall from last september (if I recall correctly) where the big boss said that everything was great and no layoffs where planned ?
At some point they played "the persuaders" opening, seemingly to thank two execs for good services after having pushed them by the backdoor. I think it was quite a good way to announce this without doing so directly, lol.

 

These town halls have been so vague with regard to this new primary care sales model set for 2019. Changes , restructure or tweaks to the alignments must be coming after the holidays I just feel it. Anyone else ?

 

They just laid off the entire Synvisc sales force and management effective 1/31/19. Get out of this dumpster fire while you still can.

 

How large was that salesforce? Did they say why, is it patent expiration?

 

about 80 including managers and vacancies

 

business has been flagging for over a year and SNY has done nothing creative to change it-- another business Sanofized!

 

terrible.. right before the holidays too

 

Decided to go with a Contract Sales Org for Synvisc versus addressing coverage, price, etc.

 

Does anyone know who they selected as their CSO?
