Just be positive people. Very positive people. Extremely positive people. You don't want to get caught being a douchebag at this one. If you can't be positive people, let your guard down and be positive morons. There is a lot of fun when you're in a room full of morons, the more positive, the better. One thing that hasn't changed about Merck culture is the need to never never be negative even when being negative is being truthful. Needless to say, kissing ass at Merck will always get you much farther ahead than being truthful will. Like I was told by an old-timer years ago, show me a truthful rep and I'l show you a former rep. I didn't know what he meant at the time since I was still in training, but I learned quickly when I encountered so many physicians that wouldn't see me but regularly "saw" my predecessor.
