So, cut budgets and samples and speaker programs and don't fill vacant positions (this is OK, too may reps) and move these expenses to Q3? Pay us more in Q3 and back pay us to June 1, Ill be OK with that..... This all sounds like a, yeah you guessed it, a realignment! I can see respiratory carrying diabetes, wait, what, that already happened. What division is safe, resp, dm, HSS, Onc, Mediimmune? I think these are all great questions.
You can bet your little paycheck nothing will happen to diabetes until Declare comes out and if it’s good they will be the safest sales force at AZ for a year.
If that's true, why are the respiratory reps begging the diabetes reps to pay for their access meals? It's the opposite, you nimrod. Respiratory has had budgets slashed, diabetes spending spree is alive and well.
I'm in resp. and my access budget is fine. I just set up a couple of speaker programs with no issue so not sure what you are saying. I am however significantly low on samples this month, like everyone else. I know that decision came from Symbicort brand team. Doesn't make any sense but as long as DF thinks it's wise, there will be no use arguing the point.
Big budget cuts underway. Failed execution by sales and brand leadership. This has been going on for 15 years and the shareholders are none the wiser. Not a damn one of these fools understand the needs of the customer or the opportunity for growth.
