Any idea what their jobs were? Maybe they were all in CA which is why the HQ is moving to Danbury.
They didn't have an excessive number of employees before the layoff. I hope they weren't afrezza salespeople.
If we have any linkedin researchers with some free time we can probably figure this out.

"One of the big strategic decisions we had to make, unfortunately, was to reduce our 30 FTEs to reinvest some of the money to keep Afrezza going in the right direction and drive impact in 2022."
Probably means it was not afrezza salespeople, but we don't know anything else.

That was a long time ago, they cut some of the sales people, some I knew, and hired other contact sales reps… if you go on LinkedIn they’re hiring sales reps in a lot of different states.

Don't know the article was referring to veichles rented returned but not explicit to FTE , 30 FTE equivalent like expenses or persons, like more than 30 mixed full time and part time, or equivalent costs?

FTE refers to people. Standard terminology with only 1 meaning.

Any idea what their jobs were? Maybe they were all in CA which is why the HQ is moving to Danbury. They didn't have an excessive number of employees before the layoff. I hope they weren't afrezza salespeople. Quotes from yesterday's call below. One could suggest that sales agents in non-viable territories may have been let go through 'optimizing'. The other suggests that at least some reps remain. So, who knows. "As you look at 2022, we've optimized our Afrezza footprint to make sure all of our sales are territories are viable and they have positive growth potential." "So the more confidence we have that COVID is not resurging and our reps aren’t going to be locked out of offices, the more confidence we’ll have in terms of continuing to build back up on that sales force, as we get a new team in place, we have all new marketers, all new managers really good focused team here driving us forward on Afrezza." |

If you recall, every time we get a new salesforce, MC uses that as an excuse for lousy sales. It takes months for them to get trained and up to speed. Blah blah blah.

This was posted on CafePharma a few weeks ago... www.cafepharma.com/boards/threads/layoffs.674452/"Is anyone really surprised? It's the annual meankind corporation layoffs. This time they did it after the holidays. Over half the existing salesforce was fired! No surprise after all the DMs were let go. Guess who still has his job! The leadership team of this company is rotten from the top on down." |

FTE means Full Time Equivalent aka someone who works a 40 hour week is the norm.
Bottom line these were not
part time workers.
