Why did the NJ manager quit?


Always wanted to run his own business and his new opportunity let's him do that. Good guy making a bold move. Nothing to do with BIIB. Ivy league guy who wants to try new things.
 
Sounds like the managers are leaving as much as the reps??

No other managers have left in over a year. No rep is leaving now either. Go troll another board. It kills everyone that it's actually GREAT to be a sales rep with biogen. Get over it trolls, we as a large group couldn't be happier with the direction we are going, so feel free to pollute this site with all the negative garb that you see fit, but at the end of the day WE have the best jobs and you don't. In other words go f yourselves!

Then why are there three job postings on the Biogen site for Regional Directors? The Houston position is open once again. There is a Michigan opening. And the Central NSD is open again. Things at Biogen are exciting and moving forward, but it is still a big pharma wanna be. Francesco and Chuck have big pharma in their blood - reach and frequency, expansion, three reps in a territory.

And don't fool yourself with the stock price.... 75% of the reasons for the stock price surge was in place under Jim and its timing that the results came out now.
 
We expanded a new salesforce. Therefore we expanded additional regions. That's why people like you should stay the heck off our board and mind your own business. No one is leaving, no one wants to leave and no one is going to leave unless it's a awesome opportunity. So enjoy the crap mundane job you have and leave us alone.
 
Are you all referring to GK who left? That would not be suprising at all as he does not/did not fit in at BI.

Yup!! Jimmy D brought him in, and Jimmy D got him out!

The primary care, illegal HIPPA-violating practices didn't work so well in the MS market, coupled with being deadlast in national rankings probably made his "starting my own company" idea happened much faster.
 
correct. s.h. , if he is smart, will let this avonex patient id stuff go quietly away. hipaa and the feds are nothing to take lightly by foolishly venturing into grey areas for profit sake (where the hell are the biogenidec lawyers on this one?). note that nothing defining this initiative has been put to ink. however, e-mails will hang the guilty. all it will take is one pissed off physician or rep.

There hasn't been an expansion until this recent hiring. And the reps are overlays of already existing territories. No need for new managers. The Houston position is not an expansion, NJ is not an expansion, the Central NSD is not an expansion... I can't comment on Michigan since I don't have any idea on that position. But why so defensive?? "He who doth protest too much" Biogen is a great company, no one said any different. But people have/are/ and will still leave. No big whoop!

There used to be an East and West sales division, then Central added. Now a 4th division added. How's that not an expasion?? It's really crazy, dare I say stupid.
