Cafe Pharma message boards have been lit up in recent days with Glaxo sales reps claiming to have been laid off. While that’s not hugely surprising – Glaxo and others have had rolling layoffs for a few years now – the Health Blog checked in with the company to get the latest.
A Glaxo spokeswoman said 700 sales and marketing staffers (and related support staff) have taken buyout offers in recent months, while others’ jobs are being cut. She declined to give a total figure, but said the cuts are affecting “a variety of different positions in the U.S. pharma commercial staff.”
