Lay-Offs

Changes for 2022 are coming by Q4 but details are thin. Look for the field force to be a combination of non sales and sales roles. Have to have people calling on customers but also need people who are not under so many compliance restrictions to facilitate interactions with MOS, FMD, etc.

 

What’s so funny is that the same people used to use us to get access to the HCP’s LOL

 

lol amen

 

Guessing they didn’t fig that into their calculus... just a hunch. So Pfizer is gonna hire over credentialed people at DM salary who are not gonna have the relationships to gain access in an already difficult environment. This is so stupid

 

So December reorganization but no answer on what that involves, my guess is one great IM team combining some but not all team 1 and 2.

 

Come on man, it doesn’t need to make sense, it’s PFIZER…

 

Mediocrity rules now. All companies/industries are turning into this. Airlines don't hire the most hotshot military pilots like they used to, they hire middle of the road people they can train to be systems managers. Pretty much everything has standards being lowered. Now the EMT that rolls up to the scene of an accident is a 300 pound fat chick that's almost out of breath. Public defense attorneys have an IQ that's the same as their client. Colleges don't even require SAT scores anymore.

 

Whoever said competition is a good thing.

 

Let’s try this again...CFC ratio to shift to minimum of 30% MOS/FMD level. I’ve got like 4 total in my state for more than a hundred reps so to change that ratio you do the math. It’s every division. Not an IM thing. I love how when things aren’t that bad you get people freaking out about nothing then when they flat out tell you change is coming in a big way you get all these blue sky folks coming out of woodwork. There’s a middle ground between Armageddon and blissful ignorance. Try to live in that middle ground.

 

Says the guy preaching an 88% reduction in salesforce. lol

 

As much as I hate to side with this person those are the numbers they had up on the screen. It’s wild but it’s true. So unless that written info was a lie that’s where it stands.

 

Well that ratio could change in a number of ways not just a reduction but since you are omniscient, knock yourself out. I am expecting a large number of layoffs but not without some additions which makes the headcount even more ambiguous.

 

I have a feeling this will finally be the moment where KAMs and medical group reps finally have their charade exposed. It’ll be more than that but I’m confident that’s at least a partial focus.

 

Maybe the next bold move will be to get out of marketing completely? I mean I don’t know who or how we are going to have HCP‘s fight for our products, but maybe we don’t care anymore.We have good products, De Soto our competitors. So many times it comes down to the relationship you have with that HCP. I don’t care what anyone says after 20+ years of doing this it matters.

But, history is shown as there’s been plenty of bold moves. Napoleon at Waterloo, Hitler at Stalingrad, yet it didn’t end to well for either. Guess it’s our turn.
lol

 

HAHA brilliant

 

Pretty clear there is going to be a reduction. The question is when? Do they send us out into the field before this reduction? Is this why we have no RTF?

 

The call today made it seem pretty clear this would occur in Q4/ December, I think it will be hybrid RTF starting first week of June. December will be the mass reorg.

 

What you mean? They promised this isn’t a layoff or reorg (sarcasm). It’s a “transformation”. Kinda like how they promised no one would be let go due to COVID then BAM T3 gone! Then Vaccine reorg which still blows my mind how quiet they managed to keep that one. How they sleep at night is the real question here.

 

There is generally an announcement which serves as the beginning of the warn period.
The new organization will have been determined and the selections will have been made.
The date that new assignments will begin - and status is confirmed- will be provided within approximately 4 weeks prior to the reps notification. This allows time for the cascade of notification to higher level employees on down.

 

Right warn is 60 days correct? So warn in mid October with Mid Dec. layoffs/ restructuring/ global task force outcomes/ medical expert hybrid non-sales sales force or whatever the hell you choose to name it
