Wasn't this decided a while back due to ecosystem transformation?
Yes, these were planned layoffs in the commercial space due to âtransformationâ, but letâs call it what it is, a re-org. These are not related to COVID
Yeah transformation has been a clusterfuck. Genentech is not what it used to be. Senior leaders creating jobs for themselves and blaming the dysfunction on everyone else, having them reapply for jobs.
So are they cutting sales people?
Yes, primarily sales, and majority are outside the SSF area. This has been in the works since late last year, so it is not news to anyone at the company; I think most affected parties were informed well in advance.
