I wonder if Merck might be interested???? In a nationwide shakeup, Merck & Co. plans to cut 1,800 U.S. staffers as it jettisons three of its sales teams and launches a new chronic care salesforce.
"These changes are part of ongoing companywide efforts to sharpen Merck’s focus on innovative R&D that addresses significant unmet medical needs and on our best opportunities for growth, while reducing overall costs," spokesperson Claire Gillespie told FiercePharma via email.
Merck plans to staff up to 960 on its new chronic care force. Employees who lose their jobs can apply for positions there, or apply for other posts elsewhere in the company. Gillespie cited the "ebb and flow" of Merck's business as the reason the company needs to undertake the cuts and build out the new team.
