Warning to reps looking at Cubist openings

Quote


Cubist is On The MERGER Hit List!! Pfizer/Merck Showdown! Accumulate CBST anyway you can; it's predictable at $95/share but this leadership is FOR SALE and why should they make all the money? I bought at $58...letting this train ride into the M&A station!
Just like Upper Managemt.....stocking up for the BIG CASH in!!
 
I can't imagine that this company is suing its former reps.

But I suppose all you'd have to do is ask the hiring manager and he she would at least have to answer Yes or No.
I have a friend who is interviewing soon and I will tell her to ask that question before accepting an offer.

If you try to quit... and you eventually will... Will Cubist sue you too?

community if they did that??!! Everyone would be pissed off at cubist!! It'll never happen!!

Agreed. What these dumbass Cubist haters don't realize is that if TRULY Cubist wanted to rule over you and keep you here, where is the non-compete clause they should be making us sign? Have you seen one? We can leave whenever the hell we want. They're not stopping us. But if you think you're gonna leave and take proprietary shit with you, then I hope you get sued. You're a true shit tard for doing so.

Hey Gomer Pile, Stea and Chambers are saying you ALREADY DID sign a non-solicit clause when you came to cubist. Didn't your manager tell you this? It was tucked away in your employment contract. Don't believe me? Call your manger now and ask.

The proprietary shit is a smokescreen designed to distract from the company being a complete asshole and trying to sue all of these reps for leaving. Big deal, someone stole a roster! Big deal, someone downloaded a list of their customers! Ask yourself what a CBM or even an RBD might actually have in their laptop that could possibly be considered proprietary? Sales data... big deal!

They think they can intimidate you into not leaving YET. Tony and Greg could care less if you leave, but what they can't afford is many of us leaving together during a launch. That's what is happening due to their harassment, tough guy management and unrealistic expectations in workload. Trust me, they will continue to thin us out on THEIR terms after this is over. Any RBD who has ever spent time with Tony knows this is true.

Again, Mr. Wizard, you are wrong. Conspiracy theorist and spreading more lies and conjecture. I can leave whenever the hell I want to. And have tried and not one person has called and told me I couldnt leave because of a non-compete clause. Not one person that I know of at MC that came over from Cubist is being sued for leaving so it sounds like its a select few that probably did some shit they werent suppose to. And again, you could be talking out of your ass. You don't know what or how much was taken. You got proof of that? Just a roster? Pull your head out of your ass and ask yourself a simple question. Do you REALLY think Cubist would gain anything by keeping people here that don't want to be here? Do you think those disgruntled reps who are "held here without any chance of leaving" are really going to be happy here and perform? Fuck no. You cannot force people to stay. If they want out, so be it. but to me the whole MC process of recruiting us was pretty shady and yes, I believe they played you like a fiddle and played on your disdain for GS and TC to get you to come over. Easy pickens. That along with a nice salary, who wouldnt consider it. You were bamboozled.
 
No, he's right. We have been told we can't go to another company unless we take a different territory. We can't call on the same customers if we go to work for another antibiotic company. Apparently we signed some thing to that fact.
 
Non compete in pharma is joke. All cases are tossed out by judges. Several states have banned non compete clauses and Massachusetts has a vote to ban as well. If Cubist did sue you they would have to bring you to MA court and it would get tossed. They are trying to fuck with you and scare you. Sales reps do not have confidential information nor do managers. Once the court finds out how many Pfizer reps cubist hired away over the years, game over! Its a big scare tactic and they can just piss off!

You apparently have no idea what's going on at Cubist. This is exactly what the company is doing. No company can afford to loose this many people during a launch. They don't care about the one offs here and there, but this is a mass exodus and it's a lot of excellent people. It's not the medicines company's fault, either. They called Cubist reps just like Durata did except this time CBMs AND RBDs were lining up to leave. The difference this time is we have a maniac running the sales force and people want OUT. Chambers and Stea had no choice but to point the finger at an external entity because they are the real problem. Don't be a sucker and fall for the MEDCO scapegoat.

Mark these words: this suit will go nowhere. It's not supposed to go anywhere. It's designed to scare people from leaving temporarily, which Cubist has decided is a better/cheaper option than to pay a competitive wage now and treat us like the elite sales reps every other organization recognizes. For heavens sake, OPTIMER paid their people better than Cubist.

If you really believe you're free to go sell an antibiotic at another company to your current customers, call your RBD and ask them what the "non solicit" clause you signed really means. Then come back here and admit that Cubist is playing dirty and taking all of us for idiots.
 
Hello, all. Did you accept RSUs with your job offer? Since starting, have you accepted more RSUs? If you're answer is yes, then your non-compete is fully enforceable by any judge in Massachusetts. You can't take Cubist's equity and then go work for a competitor. Big no no. Pretty simple concept. I hope most of you get it, because judges do. Otherwise, you WILL be sitting on the sidelines without a paycheck for a while.
 
So, by that reasoning, there will be a lawsuit against folks who went to Durata, too? This is crazy and childish. Grow up. It's just embarrassing. Makes me want to go work for the next antibiotic competitor. Just because I (LEGALLY) can.

"Big no no?" Is that your professional opinion on the topic? First of all, we don't have a non-compete. We have a non-solicit. But please show me where it is written that accepting equity in a company automatically means a noncompete or a nonsolicit is automatically enforceable. There is no such law.

Forgive me for not taking your word on it, it's just that you have no idea what you're talking about.
 
Don't except any pay raise or RSUs from the rat pack duo. It is a ploy to tie you down from getting another job. Make sure you have your lawyer read the language. There is a strong non compete statement written into the content. Several companies will be contacting all of us before year end. They are respectful lucrative organizations. You will regret locking out these options for yourself. They pay $140-160k base range with >2500 options. Don't trust the people just below Perez. They are evil and selfish individuals. Believe me I know first hand.
