2018 Layoffs



DM told us that they are going to get rid of Purple and all areas with a Red vacancy will be filled by the Blue reps First. Sounds like a layoff to me. Hysingla is never going to make it in most areas, Symproic is a joke b/c of cost, lack of managed care and no one needed this to come to market. Oxy is tanking and we have nothing solid in the pipeline. Perhaps Craig will get us something g but I have waited long enough to have a non-opioid. This culture is toxic, our boss can’t do her job because she is so stressed out and should not be a DM and our entire team is looking except for the two that want to be DMs. I am out.

How truly Stupid does a human being have to be, to not double dip?????? I have NEVER seen such total incompetence!!!!!! EVER!

Because it makes no sense to put a six figure income and full benefits at risk for some part-time minimum wage hours as a substitute teacher or similar part time job.

Everyone out there knows this is a long running bit right?
 
anyone else hearing Dec 15?
Are they filling any vacancies across the country?

Dipper here:
The only CURRENT job on my resume is PP. I have worked here longer than I have worked for my dipping pharma job! NO ONE knows about my other pharma job, except me, my CPA, and the IRS.
And as long as I submit my W- 2's from both PP and my other dipping job, the IRS is fine. IT is NOT illegal to work more than one job, according to the IRS. Just pay your fair share of Income Tax!
And the IRS does NOT SHARE any information with any source. So, no one would ever know a person's income or job status!
My resume shows only PP. The job I had many years ago before coming to PP is listed on my resume! Therefore, I have NO spaces on my resume! Safe all- around!
I enjoy the benefits of double dipping (financial) and will continue to double dip.
 
layoffs based on what? Numbers? red/blue? Salary? Geography?

All of the Butrans leads will be let go which is only 12% of the sales force, then the other 43% will based on tenure & performance plans.

They are already realigning the districts and putting a 2 month severance package together for all Reps who get cut. The plan is mid Dec if they can get everything finalized in time before the holiday break. If not, It'll be Jan for sure.

Unfortunately, due to legal matters DBMS will not have a say in who gets cut. Third party company is going strictly off the above stats. DBMS will also be affected by this downsizing.
 
Home office cuts have also already started with 3 in IT. More to come.
 
Huge layoff coming! This is from a very good source! Sales force to go down to about 140 reps! I wish you all the best! Start looking now because Purdue has a history of screwing their own reps! Hopefully severence will be decent but don’t wait for these morons to make everything happen on their terms!
