Pfizer - attention drug reps; incoming!
One hint that Pfizer layoffs will only continue: The company extended its severance-package program, which was due to expire at year's end, through mid-2009, because the drugmaker couldn't treat new layoffs differently from those cut previously.
According to sources close to the action, those layoffs probably would include a large number of sales reps.
