NON-COMPETE


Stock is down again today. Nothing to worry about on your end. It's true Novartis will ask about non-compete. With Amgen and Regeneron you've nothing to worry about as they don't look at BA as any form of competition. Its classified as generic statin with those two companies and BA'S market potential is equivalent and impactful about as much as an Esperion rep driving his car through the heart of his territory with the windows rolled down and screaming the brand name at the top of his lungs out the window.
Good luck in your next job and chalk this up as another learning experience.
WHY would anyone have signed on to sell this dog???? I know people that were really psyched to sell this and I just never understood why. For the sake of a being employed only?
 

Esperion served a purpose for the PCSK9 reps and Merck repsnthst were layed off in December and January. Some with poor rankings were met with open arms from Esperion. Now look at things. What a mess.

Can't blame them. It is a smart move.

Play the same game Management is playing, but at lower renumeration.

Stay strong Scientifically Hired, Highly Tenured Customer Facing Lipid Experts.
 
Perhaps the Scientifically Hired Highly Tenured Customer Facing Lipid Trained Experts could initiate a Clinical discussion of their conversations with Physicians and why they are not writing and believing in the BA molecule ?

It would be interesting.

SHHTCFLTE...we are waiting

CB, you can respond.

Fow,l foul language, Dimwit, Smell guy, please hold your comments.
 
Anyone know if Esperion will go after people who leave with the non-compete? I had a lawyer review and said it is VERY broad, and for 12 months, but it depends on if Esperion decides to go after people, or decides to let people leave on their own and pursue a better opportunity. I have one of those opportunities, but can't go anywhere, or find an opportunity that doesn't compete with CVD or "Metabolism" Since almost EVERYTHING impacts metabolism! I just want out. But can't go anywhere else apparently until Esperion cuts us, or gives us a broad release from non-compete. I know it doesn't apply in California, but it does apply almost everywhere else. Thoughts?

They cannot go after people.
BA is a failed drug and you are entitled to make a living.
 
It never even crossed my mind. First of all I won't be selling in the cardiology space and even if I moved to something in that space I don't care. BA isn't a factor to any other lipid company or stent company or pacer job. That non-compete I signed was just about stroking Esperions ego that they had this huge blockbuster. Nothing was further than the truth. My manager and people above the manager were underachieved in previous jobs and didn't understand or get the market. I found this always puzzling since they took so many business plans and prescriber lists along with managed care plans and they couldn't figure out what to do. This said a great deal about the managers and their skillset.

Worst management team from my experience so far. Even if you happen to be one of the 20 reps making great bonus...this cannot be a long term gig for any of us. Start looking end of year and consider yourself lucky for getting paid big bonus checks for the 80 nrx w refills some have had so far. Just think on this, you got paid huge on nothing. The ship is sinking...don’t jump too late
