Age discrimination lawsuits.













Fact three: The MOST QUALIFIED individuals for pharmaceutical sales are attractive women.

As a male, I stand little to no chance of fairly competing against an attractive female in pharma sales.

It's not what you know in pharma sales. Let's face it, very few, or none of you, have ever treated a patient. Therefore, you are not qualified to have any sort of intelligent opinion that would lead to a meaningful discussion about treating patients. All you know is what this company trains you to know. Pharma sales revolve around what can you do for me and/or what you look like.

It's not age discrimination. It's hiring the most qualified individuals.
 






I am bringing my biased opinion here for some unknown reason. This company could be hiring Physician Assistants as their sales representatives; which, would make at least one of my biased assumptions incorrect.

How ignorant! Reps are just sample delivery and service people these days!

First, real product salespeople are the MSL’s and the physician opinion leaders who pitch from the podium! Secondly, direct to consumer advertising and influencers are the new

My favorite pharma pitchman was Dr. Scott Gottlieb who left his federal job for Pfizer. He did off-label promotion as a board member all over media in interviews for months pushing their vaccines.
 






The real discrimination now is reverse discrimination. Sickness of socialism has seeped into corporate America.

Woke social justice warriors are pushing dangerous ideologies like DEI. Learn rom Anheuser- Busch, Disney, and Target.

Dave Ricks, you need to stay focused on business; forget politics and social issues. Too much risk and no reward. You loose site of the real mission. Injure your corporate culture, distract people with emotional leaks, and piss everyone off!

Very well said. The newest people on my team are a black girl, a black guy, a lesbian, and a gay guy. They were all hired within the past 2 years or so.

Sounds like a retiree from 10-15 years ago who is afraid of losing his free lunch.

I don’t who or what anyone is, as long as they are the most qualified candidate hired or promoted on merit alone.

Worked with all the above over the years with joy, peace, and camaraderie because none us played the dysfunctional victim card.

Leave your politics and activism at home!!!!

It has no place in corporate vision and is toxic to building a healthy workplace.

Figures
 






And I assume you've never worked with these types before? How uncomfortable that must be.

It is uncomfortable because they weren't qualified for the job. All but 1 are lazy, entitled, take a ton of sick days, and are terrible hires. Our team always preforms at the bottom now. But at least we can say we are diverse!
 


















Can’t believe you reps still have jobs after the company saw during covid they didn’t need you. They need to fire 99% you and use the money to make more mounjaro. The 1% left can stock offices with samples.
 






I fucking hate assumptions.

"Sample Size Calculation

A sample size of 472 patients (assuming a dropout rate of up to 28%) was calculated to provide a power of at least 90% to demonstrate statistical superiority of 10-mg and/or 15-mg tirzepatide vs placebo for change from baseline in HbA1c at week 40. The calculation included an assumed difference between treatment groups of 0.6% (6.6 mmol/mol) in HbA1c based on data from the phase 2 trial15 and from a study with a GLP-1 receptor agonists featuring a similar design.2"

I can't believe this is the direction medicine is headed. Retina specialists are an arrogant group, but they are trying to do the right thing for patients. This fucking group of people (Protocol for: Jastreboff AM, Aronne LJ, Ahmad NN, et al. Tirzepatide once weekly for the treatment of obesity.) and this company (eli lilly) is beyond unethical. Put down the 3 bags of chips, 3 bags of candy, and 3 trips to the fast food joints every day and start eating differently. Also, get off the couch and go for several walks per day. Only eat three meals per day from 7 am to 6 pm (no snacking). You'll lose weight healthily and naturally. You don't need this shit drug.

1. 150 minutes of physical activity per week isn't enough.
2. Eat 1500 calories per day, less than 50g of added sugar, less than 80g of fat, and less than 2,000mg of sodium.
3. An ethical set of objectives would read "To Evaluate" not "To Demonstrate"
4. People should be fasting for at least 8 hours every day of the week, not just when showing up to these shit-biased visits.
5. The food companies want to make money from you eating unhealthy, the drug companies want to make money from you being fat from eating unhealthy, and the government pretends like they have your best interests in mind while profiting from both the food and drug companies.

"PROCEDURES
After a 2-week screening period, participants were randomly assigned in a 1:1:1:1 ratio to receive tirzepatide at a dose of 5 mg, 10 mg, or 15 mg or placebo, administered subcutaneously once weekly for 72 weeks as an adjunct to lifestyle intervention.
