It's the last (probably) week of WC! Nervous


Obviously the writing is on the wall....

Hopefully you saw this coming and prepared. There is a void in the industry for good people and if you leverage your contacts and get lucky you will find a new home. I was one of the WC castaways and couldn't have landed in a better spot than I am in today. Took the severance and landed new job almost overnight. Actually had many offers! Key is to keep your head up and resist the negativity...FU-Roger and your ask#sing f-ups! Hope your lives are filled with tragedy!!!

Oops...did I just say that out loud? LOL
 

No information has been given at this time to DMs or those in the field. Conf call tomorrow where info will be provided. Will find our in 24hrs how it will shake out. It is what it is. No need to worry as whatever will be done is already done!
 
ZS Associates have already been in and made their recommendations. Divisions are lined up, combined, territories cut and vacancies filled. From what I've been told, the majority of WC salesforce surprisingly is getting retained. About 25% total reduction across all divisions, most of that coming from one division alone.
 
It will be mid October. Osteo division is F'd. Uro will slash underperformers. WHC will slash overlaps and fill in other open positions because WC touts the WH division as their best reps. Good luck to all. This is from and inside source.

Huh???? The Red below, Osteo will cease to exist and so will WHC, the FTC has forced Actavis to divest itself of ALL WC birth control pills, as well as Atelvia. The bottomline is that there will be some firing due to overlap in URO and GAE, but ALL WC WHC and OSTEO positions will be eliminated that means ALL. Read and weep...

...As part of the proposed settlement, Actavis has agreed to sell all rights and assets to three oral contraceptives and an osteoporosis treatment, the commission said.

The drugs involved are generic Femcon FE; Loestrin 24 FE and its generic equivalents; and Lo Loestrin FE and its generic equivalents, all contraceptives; and Atelvia and its generic equivalents.
 
If Osteo is F'd then why were they just given a Co Pay card to launch? I feel like that would mean good news for them since they need to keep them around to promote the card. No?

All Osteo and WHC products forced to be divested, by FTC. Read below..

You are speaking so uniformed. WC is being purchased, not the otherway around, so why would ZS be speaking to WC? There is no reason! This is the Actavis show and not the other way around, WC leadership means nothing. Also, hw can there be only a 25% reduction, if the FTC forced the divestiture of all WC birth control pills, and Atelvia. Please tell us all what our illustrious WHC and OSTEO reps are supposed to sell?

You have no secret information, just like the rest of us. Passing all the same dull rumors is crazy.

Still think I have no information?! Why don't you check your company email. We just sent out a nice letter from Paul..he describes our new divisions, the main one with 13 new products in future was WHC..talks about derm, gastro, and Uro bolstering it's presence. But, wait, there was no mention of the Osteo division....AT ALL. Start looking right away guys. The Osteo division is no more. Like I said.
 
This whole thread has been BS..........I didn't hear a thing from my DM or counterparts. Who came up with this BS of 10/1 being the date of all of us having to worry about our jobs. Be grateful we have one!!!!!

Are you serious?! Did you NOT call in to the conference call this morning? The entire sales force will be interviewing for their positions. Jesus, some of the people who work here couldn't think their way out of a paper bag!
