EWHU Layoffs

I am hearing rumors of layoffs. We did not hit the first quarter number and I am hearing that was the last straw and layoffs are coming this quarter. Is there are truth to this? Has anyone else heard this?
 


These posts are stupid. EWHU is over, may it be 3 months or 1 year. I dont feel sorry for anyone that is in denial. Take a good look at the business results of this unit. Look at its leader, and some of the recent hires. This is the worst division in MD&D, and sadly evrybody knows this. Stop with the stupid posts, and go detail your docs on your old products
 




This division always hits forcast. Launching new and cutting edge products all the time. 1st quarter 75% of reps at plan, and good solid management/marketing in place. This is the place to be!

Please help me make forcast on my "new" brand. I have never made it in 4 years, and someone in marketing might catch on. Oh, and it is all your fault you dont know how to sell!

Are we going to be loose our jobs in June, next month, or will we last the year. How long will J&J MDD tolerate a division that can't make forcast, and will not hit forcast. Please share.
 


we will be selling off Thermachoice in the VERY near future, then we will be merging with Ethicon Biosurgery and Ethicon Products. Did anybody hear Prudens conf call where he said that he will never expect double digit growth in his lifetime and that mid single digits are more realistic. he went on to say that we will have to become more streamlined......when I heard that it ment that overhead will be going soon
 


we don't even make thermachoice..Gyrus does. We are the wall mart of device companies. I did some research and found the only company to have double digit growth for the last 10 years is Cooper Surgical . They only sell niche products. what should we expect when we resell me too products
 


Dude...get your facts straight....Gyrus makes Versapoint for us....Thermachoice is ours....well Technically we bought the product idea off a GYN in New york somewhere....(where it is made, china, mexico, indonesia) is irrelevant...But definitely T3 is ours, Versapoint is Gyrus's that we lease the agreement with...hence the reason that we have Versapoint 2 coming out...then that will be ours....GET A CLUE

Get a clue, we will not have Versapoint, do you really think there will be an EWHU. Dude, ask Marty why she left, look for more defectors. Get real, hysteroscopy is the new growth engine? Nothing left in the tank, and it sucks. Move on my friend.
 


Actually the competitors sell the me too products. Regardless of that, the me too's are just as good in the doctor's eye and are far cheaper. If and when EWHU dies it will be because of our premium prices on are old original products. We priced our selfs out of the game and Ethicon's inability to be flexible and adaptable screwed us all.
 


are you guys that much of an idiot....First off it is Marti (shes a woman) not Marty as in a guy),,she left because she went to a national sales director position, hmm a promotion 2 pay levels up. Versapoint 2...oh yeah it's coming, I get that is not a life saver and IMO not a huge benefit at all. Second.do you guys not get that this company is a cash COW!!! Zero R&D into T3 and interceed and they are 95-99% profit. Do the math...we will see how much Sr leadership knows and understands the business when we sell T3 off.

There are BIGGER things happening in the VERY near future with this company. I'm hearing June or July

Ok, have a real problem with Marti not making a difference at EWHU, what did she do? She left AWC 6 months before it was sold, and that is what is wrong with J&J, cant make a difference or add any value, and takes a pay increase, end of the day she did nothing! Products are profitable, but overhead sucks the wind of profit. EWHU has not hit company forcast in 4 years. They have will sell this Division as soon as possible, but cant do to law suits on mesh products. Breast Care was a true cah cow sold, AWC sold, Cardiovasions sold. Even Pruden wont suffer through this. 2011 wont make forcast! Year 5

This company is very strong, launched 2 new products last year and are in launch mode for Versapoint. These posts are BS, EWHU is still the place to be

Are you on drugs? Launch mode for VP, lol. If you think VP will do anything to help you hit your number you need to go back to pharma. People are leaving left and right and EWHU has not hit its number for 3 years. How is this the place to be?
