I think we are safe on the natpara side. The gattex reps will most likely be laid off as shire has a GI Salesforce. Hopefully Francois did the right thing and got them a good severance. Good luck to all!
The CIC severance plan shows how upper management did not look out for employees. Probably half the company has been here less than a year and are lower than middle management and will only get a few months severance. Seems 6 months used to be the standard. Thanks for fighting for us upper management!
How long before the office staff is eliminated, and the Bedminster office closed? I'm guessing 12-18 months.
Press release said the closing should be in 1st quarter of 2015. Timelines may be a lot shorter than those posted above for things like site closings and layoffs.
unless you are good friends with shire's ceo, you are probably on the outside now. really. shire personnel need work.
won't be long until this scenario plays out in NJ... http://blogs.wsj.com/pharmalot/2014/11/19/more-biotechy-shire-to-move-us-hq-and-500-jobs-to-greater-boston/
Both sales forces will be just fine. Shire kept everyone from the Viropharma purchase and had a competing sales force.
Nope. Their orphan drug, rare disease division selling Cinryze for HAE's major call point is endo. In fact, that division has been looking for a new orphan drug for quite some time, Natpara would fit nicely.
