One Ms really?



115 full time reps and 35 overlay reps. Making territories smaller is such bullshit. Marl my words in a year we will have another “right sizing” and overlay reps will be chopped and another 20-25 reps let go. 90 reps total is all you need in ms. We are still too heavy
 
Overlay reps are full time too. But I agree it’s a dangerous position BC it will be first to go if this whole debacle doesn’t work.... which it won’t BC we are novartis and we gloriously fuck up everything we touch
 
First of all. It’s not a lay off. It’s a provider centric approach to meeting our customers where they are at. Twitter will help us engage. It’s not a layoff… it’s integration.
 
The experiment will be a total disaster. If I do keep my job I will be looking to get out. Name anything Novartis does well. Maybe layoffs. Getting the overlay position is the kiss of death. Everyone will blame you for all the failures.
 
At least 5 ABL’s displaced, more like 30-35 reps displaced and I agree this experiment won’t work. If you are an overlay rep start looking for a job ASAP. You won’t be here a year from now. Also agree with whoever said right size for ms force is like 85-90 reps. This is the first “right size” ..... then once dust settles usually 18 months later ... they will slim down again. And yes smaller territory makes absolutely no fucking sense what so ever. I love how they are like “we listened to you and you asked for smaller territory “..... who did that? Who????? No rep in their right mind would ....especially when half our offices are closed because of covid! And yeah our customers love having multiple reps come in....disaster
