That thread is from the AZ board, but it could be from almost any large pharma. When pharma started hiring reps because they were ex-football players or cheerleaders, and not because they graduated near the top of their class with a science degree it was only a matter of time. Of all the sales people, male and female, that could really deliver the numbers in a tough market none of them would get past the first interview today.

Combine poor hiring decisions with a business model based on predatory pricing, and you get the modern pharma industry. Karma is a bitch.
