More Sanofi: Layoffs ComingWe’ve just heard again that the axe will be swinging TWICE this year for Sanofi sales reps. The first swing will come in April as we mentioned last week. The second will come towards the end of the year in November or December. The number of reps set to get pink slips range between 1000-1500.

Interestingly, Sanofi just happened to be in the news quite a bit today; they just hired a new CFO who’s sure to crunch some hard numbers; Merck might sell its stake in Merial which is a JV with Sanofi; and finally, Sanofi is investing $126M in a Mexican manufacturing plant.

All signs they’re analyzing the books and cutting costs.

Painful times…
