To anybody out there. Be honest, not discouraging, I have another job opportunity with ATT. It would be a field service rep, you go and sell to customers that have appointments for internet install. The pay sounds great, does anybody know anything about taking this job?

Novartis announced additional job cuts at its U.S. headquarters. Sixty employees at the East Hanover site will be laid off. These reductions are separate from earlier March cuts. The layoffs will begin taking effect in late July. Novartis is evolving its field sales teams in the US.

Saw a recent post on Pepsi reddit where a Territory Manager calls out field sales merger likely happening by this summer which is part of the reason for Company Car removal for all field sales. Anyone hearing similar? Should Field Sales expect things to shift that quickly...

More and more field sales roles being eliminated in storage and networking without any input from actual sales reps. Middle management has changed numerous times without a clear direction everyone basically is freelancing

The layoffs are slated to affect 243 field-based employees in 47 states and the District of Columbia, a company spokesperson said. The company revealed its plan in a Jan. 14 filing to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

how do the modifiers work at redhat for field sales execs?

for example 200k otc with 50/50 comp plan.

thanks in advance

To switch things up. I have a question. I'm not ELT, not a GP, nor high ranking DL. I'm just a professional associate in my 30s with 15 years experience at this firm and industry. I am in FA facing role, so we have most likely have spoken.

I am curious to what the field actually wants HQ to look like or be. I'm sure you have answered, but I'm not in a position to see those answers. Since this is all anonymous, I figured I could get good perspective. Are service areas still valued? Or should HQ just provide tools and tech, then you at the branch will perform the OPs work?

Should the firm abandon compliance and legal and push risk onto each individual branch?

I know you FAs give up a big portion of pay, so I am just curious and how you envision a Home Office environment if one at all?

After Tuesday things are changing. Maybe for the HQ associates still around, the answers you provide could help. I know I don't mind constructive criticism. But we ultimately have an HR department, so we may not always hear real opinions. What are some real talking points and opinions from the field about HQ?
