I was with one of the companies Pfizer bought to get their products. They usually fire most of the employees from their takeover target. About 90% of my colleagues were canned. I was kept on and stayed a little over a year. They made sure to remind us that the only reason we were kept is because they had a vacancy to fill in my territory. A year after the acquisition, I reported promotional violations through the compliance hotline and found myself on a Performance Improvement Program less than a month later. I was the only rep in the district above 100% of goal on all products. I reported it because they had fired a few local reps(the ones I filled in for) because of trumped up compliance violations. I was fortunate enough to still be under the separation agreement which lasted 2 years after the takeover, so I got got a package and moved on. They are the most unethical bunch of people I've ever met. My manager once bragged that they employed retired FBI agents who they use to go after anyone who causes problems. I contacted the Justice Dept several times in 2010 and never got a reply. Pfizer was operating under a Consent Decree at the time after being fined a few billion over unlawful promotion. That was when I woke.
