<p>[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 4467703"]Wow, Im a former Rep. I've experienced some bad raps from lunches that went sour, due to no fault of my own. One time I called to cancel a month in advance and the staff person did not relay the message. I was 'banned' from doing lunches in the office due to no show. Now you KNOW the staffer was never going to admit any wrong doing. Another time, I went to the office for the required 'orders' at the set time, went to pick up the lunch and all the requirements. (water, diet pop, mountain dew blablabla). Went to get the lunch and it was not ready. I waited and tried to call the office to tell them their was a delay. I brought it to the office and they rudely informed me that their lunch was over now and I could wait in the lobby - after giving them their food bc the Dr. was busy now!</p><p><br /></p><p>I cut both offices out of my routing and called it a loss. The Drs still wrote bc they were above that and probably unaware. I made sure to send my obligatory thank you card and apology directly to each Dr so they became aware of the rudeness of their staff (in a round about way). I get them back by encouraging community to NOT go to those practices. It's been sufficient.</p><p><br /></p><p>I realize loosing a job is another thing and encourage you to begin a website or organization to defend the rights of reps to be treated humanely. You had the passion for sure! You are not alone and Im sorry that this has resulted in termination. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. Moving forward, when you get your next job be sure to document these type of interactions with HR and your manager ahead of time, just to be proactive and let them know in advance. You will have a record, be transparent and if theirs any opportunity to build a case for EEOC, you've done it![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
