Yes they were. Those days even carried over to the Sotret team. We were a close bunch back then. We knew each other's birthdays and called each other for pointers on how to sell to hard docs, we made decent money, we had faith in the company, and trusted upper management. I'll bet my number is still in your phone.
It all fell apart when Andy and Ashish's free ride with Sotret was over and they actually had to do real work promoting the BMS line. They made the mistake of managing their reps instead of managing the products, which is why there were constant outages. I don't recall a full quarter when something wasn't out of stock. It's hard getting a doc back on board after your third backorder in a year. I stuck around because of the relationships I had with my colleagues, but when they started coming down hard on reps for their own mismanagement, I noticed fewer familiar faces at each POA. It got to the point where I stopped bothering to learn people's names. That's when I knew it was time to go.
You should know the history with Ranbaxy and Inventive. Ranbaxy had gone thru all the contract companies before they settled with the one contract company that would happily sacrifice their reps to keep the contract going! Andy's claim to fame is Ranbaxy contract is the longest and most profitable for Inventive. His doing of course! So that means if you sneeze at the wrong time, you are gone. If you fail to sell because of his mistakes, you are gone. Thats it in a nutshell! Underpaid and readily sacrificed, we are having fun now!
