No way too low. They are cutting a lot to reinvest in virtual and other other platforms. Look at Pfizer they are doing the same. I would have a job lined up just in case. Plus unvaxed you will be first on the hit list.

There’s gonna be changes for sure. Keep your options open and start advocating for yourself. Pfizer did a restructure in one of their divisions and no one lost their job. In another, they completed eliminated the sales force. So, this could go either way
My K counterpart said not to worry. She said everything is good until May and nobody will be losing their jobs. I don't know what to think at this point.

Look at all these rumors surroundin' me every day
I just need some time, some time to get away from
From all these rumors, I can't take it no more
My best friend said there's one out now about me and the girl next door

This is true because the changes are set to take place to begin may 1 when the new trimester starts. Again, you have 3 months to start interviewing and secure another job.
LM did not mention anything about layoffs on today's call. What is everyone's opinion?
20% cuts from both teams. How the decide that who the hell knows. If you can leave before that I would.
OMG! That would be over 30 sales specialists!!!
Yes that seems about right. Be thankful it may be more. Other jobs may open up so people may be ok.
With respect to the upcoming downsizing for the MS group:
A) The severance package is very generous.
B) You will have the opportunity to apply for other internal opportunities
C) The job market is robust in general for the neurology specialty segment, so you should have your resume updated and ready to go.
D) Please be supportive of each other as we go through this transformation.
E) Yes, we have to act like it is "Business as Usual" for the very near future. Weird, but that is how the game is played before a layoff.

Who wrote this stupid post? This sounds like an HR call after getting let go. My advice don't work hard this trimester. Start sending out resumes next month. Have something lined up if you are fired. Don't use any vacation days so you get paid out on them. Have a good 6 months of pay as an emergency fund. See any medical doctor now while you have insurance.
I was on the Amovig team last year when we got laid off. Just heard about your situation. Best of luck...at least you are getting a heads-up!!
Some reps are still racing around trying to gather K SF's ..like it is going to save them! NEWS FLASH! The names for the layoff list were finalized last year! So relax everyone. It is what it is at this point!
Who made the list HR or Sales Leadership? What was it based on. I hear 20-25% cuts so about 40-50 reps.
Haven’t heard a number yet on percentage so wonder how the ABL’s and RD’s will be decided?
Closer to 40. The hired consultant group had much input regarding territory optimization. Geography played a major role in the decision making process. If you live near other sales specialists that will work against you vs. if you cover an entire state by yourself you will have better luck. Check back often as things are happening fast!!!
This seems like the most legit post I have seen on this thread. When field medical got reduced in NS following Aimovig contract issues, this was apparently largely done by HR with a set criteria like Geography. I imagine something larger they would bring in a consultant group.
As far i have been told, no outside group has been brought in. All this is being handled internally.
