And the TRACKING begins - welcome 3G

[Anonymous]

You guys seem to be bit as stupid as you think that people think you are.

3 g is an ops thing to get you to be able to handle your night time shit during the day.

It was sold inside as improving productivity and helping work life balance.

Just fcking enjoy it and stop the stupid fcking conspiracy theories.

You are obviously a rookie or a slacker, one or the other! Are you for real dude? Get a clue! Just fcking enjoy and stop the fcking conspiracy theories? You know, I would of loved to have read some of your college papers, you seem to have no 411 .

Listen, you should be so happy to get this insightful information for a little dweeb like yourself. Truth is, all eyes are on us. They are looking to get rid of morons like yourself that post idiotic, lame, lazy ass comments like you just did!

If I were you, I would try to hook up getting a job say at "In and Out Burger". But its obvious you all think its just conspiracy. So go ahead to your 4 hours a day 3 days a week, fake your calls and all your other tricks. It will come to bite you, when it does we will all be in the background rootin for you " Hey you go there girl or boy..give em hell, its all just a conspiracy theory after all..right?" Toodles fooleo!!

3g is a gift to get your work done. Maybe if you had the discipline to actually work a full day and use the downtime waiting to get back in an office to complete your emails and paperwork during the day you would have a life outside of work. Instead your attitude prevents you from seeing the value and opportunity to get more of your time back when you get home.

Just because the company gives us tools doesn't mean you will come along. Create these conspiracy theories but I will say your days are numbered. If you don't work it's only going to magnify now. I'm glad to have 3g and anyone here who actually works and is motivated at making the most every day will applaud this. I would bet you have been on the take for quite some time. It's unfortunate, I think you will wake up when the boot hits you in the ass and you find out what a great job you had. Where can you get paid this well and have such little supervision and not true sales to be accountable for? You will never see this again for a great paying job with very little accountability.

Your argument lost steam at this point. Good people have lost jobs because of this.

The eyes are on you it seems.

I can asure you they aren't on me...

They should be on you though, you are a fool. No wonder you are on the bottom of the ladder.

Come on, do you guys really think they'd hire an entire division to track 5000 plus reps? Just work and you shouldn't worry.

No, of course they wont track all reps. But those they want to push out will be monitored. Its just like Touchstone. They pull reports when numbers are down and then they try to find any tiny discrepancy to push someone out.

Wow, you are pretty fucking naive. Touchstone was sold to the field as a territory management tool. How many times during roll out did sales leadership deny it would ever be used for tracking. HA, what a joke.

Do you know why people want this job? Because they can ride around all day w/o supervision, in a car that they can fill up with gas for free, and make a decent paycheck.
Personally, I would rather have a job where I actually felt like I am having an impact. Getting in and out of my car all day, buying lunches for people who really just want the free lunch and waiting for docs to sign for samples is a mindless job. Yeah, I get to interact with staff and and get in a quality call at times but we all know this is a BS occupation. And before you say it, yes I am looking for a real job. Do you know what people in offices really think about what we do? And they are right.....we are glorified catering sample droppers with a company car and a nice salary. A chimp could do this lazy a-- job. Oh, and let's not forget all of the skills you aquire out here in the field - NOT! At least when I was inside I learned skills you can use from industry - industry. I can do better. Bye bye.

You bet your sweet ass that these cuts are coming to AZ. Unless you have been living under a rock of denial you should have seen this one coming a long time ago.
Merck, GSK, Pfizer, Lilly, Abbott and soon coming to a theatre near you. 50% cuts in DSMs, RSDs, ASDs, and MC PSSs spread over a period of 12 to 18 months. And when it happens, don't say you weren't warned.

Everyone who commented to this post are absolutely correct. I got fired late last year from AZ and it is somewhat of a guilty pleasure in seeing what the rumors, though often have some truth to them on CP. All of the posts have some truth to them. Yes they got the 3G technology to increase productivity, and the company is trying to secretly down size too much to hire an entire sales force to be big brother. BUT, understand AZ is in the swells of a huge witch hunt. Anyone who is called into HR for blowing their nose the wrong way are looked at and if even the original complaint didn't stick, they'll find one that does, and the person who made the complaint, they too are now suspect. So if the technology that was sold to them happens to have the ability to look at someone that they want to go away, then it's a bonus that will be utilized.

And yes just not faking calls and truly working will cut your risks, slightly. but we all know what the climate is out there and even the most self-righteous of posters have sat in a park somewhere and put a call in.

Lastly for all of those beforementioned Self-righteous kool aid drinkers, if AZ thinks they need to shed some skin and you're the one who draws the short straw, AZ will win and just like those of us who you may think are (or were in my case) lazy fucks who will get (or did get) what we derserve, you'll be gone too. And at the end of the day fired is fired.

Good Luck Peeps, you will need it!

How many times they denied for tracking? Ummmm.....never. We have always been held accountable for calls per day and other metrics. They are called JOB EXPECTATIONS. We all have the flexibility of picking up our dry cleaning, getting in a dental appointment, and maybe even hitting the grocery store. HOW DARE AZ expect us to also call on 9 customers a day per our call plan?????? and then MONITOR those expectations??? the NERVE! Try a 9 to 5 job in a corporate setting and then cry to me about monitoring.

You must be one of the jerk managers/rsms/and up and up all the way to Mr Brennan whom increased his retirement by 50%. The rest of us find that promises made to the former and current sales force have already had free meds for rest of life taken away. Pathetic.

I have a novel proposal; how about we all just WORK from 8:30-5, like they pay us too. How crazy is it that some people consider the COMPANY to be "Evil", for wanting us to actually work fulltime hours. WOW, what a concept!

The point is many already do this plus additional drive time, and then do the job evenings from 5 to 11 or 12 with no time for family. Did people read the Focus Survey? This came through loud and clear.

Completely agree. Check out the internet for reps filing for back overtime pay. This is especially beneficial to PAST AZ employees who have NOTHING to lose!!!!!!

OMG....I just got fired today!!!! Can you believe that they tracked mer from my phone? wtf?

IF you are working an additional 6-7 hours everyday after work then you are working inefficiently. Yes, there will be times required to work on expenses, field day prep, e mail responses, etc.. at night. But 6-7 hours of it every night? We agreed to work 7.5 hours in the field every day when we signed on the dotted line for this job. It's called job expectations. If you can't measure up to those expecations then be a grown up and move on. Problem is most of us don't want to hear this because the truth hurts.

This is an HR person putting in their two cents. 7 and a half hours a day, 40 programs at night a year, big expense reports and mail, etc. How many hours a week is that? 50 or 60? This idiot's reply will only effect you if you are sheep. If you aren't then cut your hours, work extra jobs, fuck over AZ. They will never know. Don't swallow for management unless you are sheep.

Obviously a post from someone who can't measure up but isn't man enough to move on. The sounds of a selfish, scared child, "If I can't get what I want, than I will contribute to the demise of those around me." Isn't that what Hitler tried to do to Germany whan he realized he was losing the war? This post is right and you know it. But you can carry on with your shitty attitude. It will only be a matter of time until you are weeded out. At that time, your misery at this job will be ended for you since you can't leave on your own.

Weeded out? By years end the majority of us will be gone.
