can't reach its goal of cutting up to 13,000 jobs by 2015 just by
eliminating vacant jobs, so it is speeding up layoffs in the U.S.
According to an internal memo, by the end of October Merck will notify
employees losing their jobs in sales and other departments. The memo states
the teams affected are: marketing & customer solutions; managed markets &
policy; strategy & commercial model innovation; and the neuropsychiatric and
women's healthcare specialty sales teams.
The memo, titled "Update on Ongoing Changes to the US Market's Business
Operations," was sent Sept. 15 by Mark Timney, Merck's President US Market.
It was first reported by the Pharmalot blog.
"The unfortunate reality is that we must do more and move now if Merck is to
be successful over the long term," Timney wrote. "Making difficult choices
in select functions, based on an assessment of the business risks and
opportunities identified within each area, will allow us to transform our
business and capitalize on the most significant market opportunities in 2012
and beyond."
When Merck announced its second-quarter earnings on July 29, Merck said the
cuts were needed because generic competition next year will hurt its top-
selling drug, asthma and allergy medicine Singulair. Merck also cited slower
revenue growth in the U.S. and Europe, where government health programs
have been pressing for lower prices.
At the time, Merck said the cuts would not start in earnest until next year.
A Merck spokesman said 35 percent to 40 percent of the job cuts would be in
the United States, many at its headquarters in Whitehouse Station, N.J.
The new cuts will bring to 30,000 the positions eliminated since Merck's
November 2009 megadeal to buy Schering-Plough Corp., on top of about 5,000
positions the companies cut before the deal closed. | y***i
