Here we see a picture from Pfizers official website. The whole family is immensely happy, thanks to Pfizer and whatever crack equivalent drug they were prescribed.

Pfizer is the world’s largest drug company and has announced that it will lay off 2,400 members of it’s sales force. These are the people that pester doctors on a daily basis with free lunches, pens, paper and drug samples for patients. We’re sure many of you have stumbled across a spiffy Viagra pen at some point.

The new CEO of Pfizer, Jeffrey B. Kindler made the move to cut costs and to stop pissing off doctors. Over the years, many doctors have become increasingly annoyed with drug hounds prancing into their office with little to offer other than stationary.

Pfizer is especially concerned with cutting costs now that the Democrats control Congress and are expected to crack down on the high mark up of prescription drugs. Because Pfizer is the biggest drug company, analysts believe other drug companies will follow suit and cut many of their sales representatives. It looks like doctors will have to pay for more of their lunches now.
