in-PharmaTechnologist visualises the depth and distribution of the cuts Pfizer plans to make to its global manufacturing network.

Earlier this week Pfizer proposed eight site exits, reductions at a further five plants and 6,000 job losses, as part of its post-Wyeth acquisition reorganisation plans.

The size of the circles represents the number of job losses at a site. Different shades of blue are used to express the proportion of total site employees this represents, with darker colours signifying a higher percentage of staff are expected to lose their jobs.

Actually Puerto Rico is paying a higher price, proportionally, for Pfizer sr. managers lack of vision and timely action.

PR workers are loosing the jobs at a far higher rate than those in the US or EU. Over the last 5 years Pfizer has shed over 50% of their jobs in PR. Can any other location match that?

And consider that PR workers cost less than those in the US or EU...

PFIRED: WHY U.S. WORKFORCE IS PAYING MORE PRICE?

Looking at the information above, it seems that govt. regulations and unions in Europe protect their workers far better than U.S. and US workers are paying for greedy folks in NYC for their bonuses.
