Why Are They Hurting Us Like This?

There is value with reps in this business.

The value question is should a rep be paid a base of 125 - 130 for soft sales goals verses traditional medical sales. Too many part time reps have entered into this business for the wrong reasons. Ultimately high pay with little accountability. We all know this is changing...

It will take many years to recover.

Good luck to all.

 

Very true. Read the fine print it’s all in there.
Why is everyone so surprised? This is how our industry operates in 2018. Sounds like maybe you didn’t fully understand what you signed up for. Moving forward it’s important to learn to separate your heart and ego from your head and understand we are all expendable

 

Go do some yard work, Troll.

 

While I agree this approach is the industry standard M.O., and it is now GNE's, or more correctly known as Roche, this is not the historical culture of Genentech and it's not the vision of most employees. The Roche banker mentality and their ilk (B. Anderson) have slowly and methodically killed the goose that laid the golden eggs for years.

GNE has prided itself as being a great place to work and has been listed in the Fortune ratings for many years. Those days are over. R&D is a shell of its former self; that's why Roche has to acquire other companies, they don't create anything anymore. Today it's no different than Novartis, AZ, Pfizer, and Bayer. Anyone that tries to tell you differently is living in the past.

GNE is dead.

 

Truth - This isn't rare disease biotech sales, just another Big Pharma company. Sorry for those impacted by "transformation" (i.e. layoffs) but in fact every CS I know with rare/orhan/small biotech experience is making a concerted effort to exit this dumpster-fire ASAP. Good luck to all whether you are leaving against your will or not.

 

LEAVE then!!! Where in the HELL are you gonna go in the industry?????! MAGA dammit

 

Settle down, Troll.

 

What is MAGA?

 

Genentech is long gone.
