Let’s hope you are one of them. Why do people come on this site and create rumors that aren’t true. You must really have no life or even a soul

Wow you're a freaking idiot. Our DM just told us there will be cuts Q1. Don't think this crap is made up jack ass. Regionals just had a meeting this past week and they were told reduction in sales force & home office staff.
 

Doubt these numbers are correct. Do think there could be some downsizing but think there should be evaluation of all personnel Pain is a especially difficult market to sell in and getting more so
 
How many reps do you really think are necessary to sell Hysingla in a declining market and symproic without managed care? Do you really think these numbers aren’t accurate ? Be honest how many do you think it would take to sell these?

Ok. So your DM told you even though an earlier poster said they weren't suppose to. Ok thanks for all of your incorrect insight. Maybe you should go back to your hole yo troll
 
This is 100% true. Dm here and the original poster is unfortunately correct. Layoffs will occur in January of 2018. 30% reduction in sales force across the board. They told us not to say anything but I think people should know so they can start looking for jobs. Sorry HQ
 
How would the reductions be determined? Will this be based on performance or geography or other? How would a launch of another drug go with a large reduction in reps. Do others face a reduction as well? Seems not all would the fault of sales people

We were told possibly 30-40% since we are not getting the ADHD drug and the Oncology product is at least 5 years out and that's IF it doesn't get pushed back by the FDA (which always happens). Symproic is so far behind forecast its sick. The Opioid market is not the market to be in these days. It will continue to decline as government puts more prescribing restrictions on it. Therefore, Hysingla and OxyContin will continue to drop in RX's and Butrans will continue to stay flat and not make the company profit.

Purdue should've never hired as many reps as they have just to overlap and copromote. It wasn't needed and not enough TRUE targets. This was foolish for our market and now several people will be out of a job due to ignorance.

It was a depressing meeting and I don't think people (you) should be left in the dark due to Purdues bad business decisions and find yourself shocked and without a job.

Yes. I am a RD at the meeting and the reduction will be at least 30%. I feel bad for the reps. They shouldn't never have to go through this
 
All of the managers found out on Friday. They aren’t sure how many will be cut but it will be significant. Wasn’t sure if it will be before or after Christmas but definitely happening. Managers were instructed not to tell the reps so that sales would not be affected.

Interesting that the District Manager meeting is from December 11 to December 15 in Stamford. Perhaps the Layoff plan will be announced at the meeting....???

My RD and I are good friends and they were told last week about the layoffs. He told me about them and I don't think it is fair to have our reps get blindsided when they can start looking for a job now. Just trying to do the right thing here

I am a manager in the SouthEast and I am confirming the layoffs for January. I just want to give everyone a heads up since corporate will not

I can attest that this thread is completely false. There may be plans for next year but there has been nothing discussed at the RM / DM level. And I can assure you that we would not be doing all of these upcoming planning meetings in Stamford if it was to tell us that we would be doing a massive layoff. Everyone relax...at least for now.

These "I'm and RD" and "I'm a DM and my RD told me Friday" posts are simply false.

It's shitty that you're trying to make people think it's just rumors when it's factual. These are people's livelihoods and 90% of the reps are providers for children. What's wrong with you?? Clearly you're from sales operations and just care about getting the last little sales results before heads go rolling.

I was at the meeting last week and it wasn't easy on any of us RD's. I care about my reps enough to give a heads up.

Listen Fake RD type, none of the RBDs would spend time trolling Cafe Pharma. Love the "people's livelihoods" and the "children" emotional appeal. Almost funny in a pathetic way.
