Bad News for Bosses

You sure are smart. Did you get straight As as a Phoenix?


It's always the uneducated, insecure ones that get sooo well defended. They are just thankful that the hiring manager didn't check their transcripts from the on line University they graduated with honors from. It's quite competitive when you're competing with such top students.
 




I can't balme your customers for being embarrassed for you. I'm sure you haul that shitty, self-pity with you whenever you walk in. They aren't embarrassed for drug reps; they're embarrassed for YOU.

And again, if it's so terrible, go find a new job. I'm sure with your education from a "top school", you'll have no trouble landing a new job at twice the pay you make now. If you can't do that, then you've made my original point that you've been riding a gravy train for years. Either way, just accept that you are where you are because of YOU, not because of Lilly. Quit lamenting about how it used to be and deal with how it is, big boy.

I bet that you graduated top of your class at Devry Institute! When you are done rocking it out with all of our first in class / best in class drugs we are launching can you stop by and fix my air conditioning? I'll leave my key under the mat while I am at the spa all day!!! LMAO!!!! You are a prime example of why doctors laugh when Lilly walks in the door......HAHAHA!!!!! My side hurts!!!! Stop it you Starbuck's barista!! Now get back there and make me a Carmel Mocha!!! Let me guess.....that's a big step up from your last job???

Diversity hire. Such a joke. So sad and putting your cause so far back. Pity. You were making such headway. I'm fine sweetheart. Made it through grad school on my own merits. Never blamed society or Lilly or any other object for why I couldn't make it on my own. Unlike you who people look at and automatically think needed a handout. I don't need special Lilly conferences or special Lilly groups to justify why I was hired. I was hired because I was the best. You were hired to fill a quota. Sad but so true. Look at our numbers since we started filling quotas. We suck. Thanks for all that you do! Lol!!
 








You're obviously one of the new hires who should be working at Denny's. This job used to be held by cream of the crop people. Now we are so ghetto and low class our doctors are embarrassed for us. Love it when I here how happy I should be just to have a job. I didn't bust my butt to graduate from one of the best colleges in the country to work somewhere that anyone off the street can work for and for 1/2 the money I was hired in at. Sorry if that sounds snooty but it's reality. I don't know anyone who graduated from a top school who wants to work here anymore. That's why they are recruiting from University of Phoenix.

If you haven't noticed, the quality of people here these days shows in our sales results. Not that sales results matter anymore as we are nothing but customer service reps. The few good reps who stay will be phased out to make room for more of these Walmart greeters.

First of all I don't know if he was a new hire or part of the elite management we have these days. Second of all you're absolutely right any good rep with self respect would leave. This job shows no respect for people who have graduated from a great University only to work next to a University of Phoenix who things they know it all. Really proud to work got Lilly .

Why not get your Harvard MBA equivalent from UOP? It's easier than you think.

You can do it while waiting for the drive through service at McD's for 20 minutes to get the Big Mac you can scarf down in just seconds. How is that for efficiency?

Take another 29 minutes to sip the gourmet coffee creations of one of our UOP brain children and soak up pure genius, right in the comfort of your own vehicle.

If the BOD would just clean house and replace upper management with intelligent, business minded people our company would turn around. They would hire SD's and DM's who were competent and business minded. Until that happens Lilly will stay the way it is.

Nice comment. For example, why not have a Six Sigma team look at the Colonel's original product line? (He was never a one-hit wonder type). Last figure I saw was a couple thousand products.

WE HAVE SO MUCH OFFICE AND LAB SPACE... what is it being used for? Not very much...

Why not try nutraceuticals, cosmetics, skin care, etc., etc., etc., be a freaking Google while you still have cash left. NO MORE IMCLONES. THAT WAS DUMB.

All they would have to do is replace JL, DR and AA then the dominoes would fall. They would put their own management team in. Could end up with a viable company again. They are on the take so probably no chance of that happening. Pity.

Bring back Elizabeth Arden!

Bring back Elizabeth Arden!

Ol'Timer

Why not? These current MBA types have NO IMAGINATION.

Another ol'timer.... and if YOU asked ME, I would say that high quality cosmetics beat Cymbalta anyday. Every woman loves to be loved. Good looks at good prices, why not?

But ol timer LCC is being run by two floors of lawyers. I am afraid of lawyers. Are you?
 




I think buying out a cosmetic company is a GREAT idea!! Why not buy out Nuskin, Este Lauder, Chanel or even an OTC company?
Look at J&J, one of the most diversified companies on the planet and #1 Pharma company.

Lilly has a great household name but it is starting to sputter. Need to inject some creativity in this company and bring the name BACK before it becomes extinct.

It's the prettiest logo of all the pharmas. And that's where it stops.

In LLY executive mgmt philosophy, we NEED to LEVERAGE.

And lord knows some of the employees could use a little cosmetics. Forget the drycleaning. Just focus on looking and BEING healthy.
 








I hate to bring this up; however, DIVERSITY twenty years ago meant ELANCO, Eliabeth Arden, Guidant, etc....

Ol' Timer

THAT is brilliant and let's hope the powers at be hear your message.

At this point, the company is a "one hit wonder" just going with patent pharmaceuticals.

And the Colonel had over two thousand product listings.

SHAME ON YOU CURRENT MGMT
