The company has sunken to a whole new level with the promotion of JT. This is just what KC hoped for. BC is gone and now the candidate with the least pharma. experience and management experience becomes the director of the east. As usual the promotions are given to the biggest ass kisser and the most unqualified candidate. KC can control JC like a puppet. Again, qualified managers are passed up so that KC won't have to worry about her job. The entire management team is so pissed. Total lack of leadership as usual. Resumes are updated. F u KC and DM.

Agreed. More qualified people were passed up. JT can bring very little to the table for these RMs except a bunch of useless excel spreadsheets. He's a analytical guy and that's why he got the job, because he is just like his boss, who is the one to blame, RT. Don't trust.

Do not agree with your assessment of JT and Rob being out of the same mold. Rob has proven experience and while he is heavy on analytics he also knows people. That is the skill that Justin lacks. This will be his downfall...

Better watch what you say. There will be a report that he can run to know who is posting on this site. Has no one seen the constant deletion of threads talking about KC and other managers.

RT has "proven experience" and "knows people"....how do you know that? He was with Novartis and moved to every division before he came here....he's a poor conversationalist and stepped on stage the last day of a national meeting and embarrassed himself. He came in looking to "improve" ie watch our every move, and hired JT, which typically means JT will puppet RT's words. People hire people that are like themselves, period. Wait for it.

For what it's worth ARI is now offering telematics to track Reps. See below:
Also here's the link to ARI that advertises it to fleet managers on there web site scroll down once you get to the web site on the mobile technology portion...be careful out there..someone is watching! http://www.arifleet.com/
Privacy Issues
With GPS systems alone, fleet managers must consider the privacy of the drivers. As more and more technological devices are installed in vehicles, including wireless Internet access, it becomes increasingly important commercial fleet operators ensure they stay within legal boundaries while tracking and monitoring employees.
Tracking drivers using GPS systems offers definite advantages. Last year, a city worker in Wellman, Iowa, was fired after a GPS device installed on his work truck proved he was regularly putting in less than a full day's work. In that case, the city was well within its legal boundaries to monitor the employee.
Employers who install or allow drivers to use certain telematics technologies in their vehicles, such as access to the Internet and e-mail, should develop policies that clearly spell out appropriate usage of such devices. Companies without such driver policies in place need to consider them.
According to the Electronic Monitoring & Surveillance Survey by the American Management Association and The ePolicy Institute, nearly half of all companies - 43 percent - monitor employee e-mail use. Worries over lawsuits and the role electronic evidence plays in litigation and regulatory investigations are driving more employers to monitor what employees write in e-mails and view online while on company time or using company equipment, according to the study.
When developing policies to track and monitor employees, fleet managers should consult local laws and regulations. They should also consider alerting employees to the possibility they may be monitored. Educating drivers about company policy may remove the element of surprise when tracking employees to see if they are where they should be. But instituting a policy and educating employees about potential monitoring can serve as an effective deterrent. By obtaining employee consent, fleet managers also avoid the question of whether surveillance is legal.

Once JT puts his mark on things, how many people do you expect to stay at Aptalis?
The most attractive thing about Aptalis was it's committment to work life balance, a relaxed culture, where employees raised the bar because they were naturally entrepreneural and because of a sense of committment becuase they loved the company.
As specialty reps, reps at Aptalis are not the highest paid in regard to industry standards, do not have access to cutting edge clinicals, aggressive brand marketing teams, unlimitted marketing budgets and many trained speakers.
A micromanager at JT's level will make experts out of reps, experts in terms of interviewing with other companys and always having up to date resumes and always having one leg out the door. Calls will be made at 4:45, when the other job interview is over.

This hits the nail right on the head. Most of us are very tenured in the industry, and many with advanced degrees. It is completely demoralizing to be tracked every step of every day. Talk about decreased moral throughout the sales force...wow! I really hate that his company has stooped to this level. I put in way too much sweat and time away from my family to be treated like this. And yes, I'm working and doing my job every day. Too bad the tracker can't track all the work I do after 5:00. Sales numbers should say enough versus tracking me like a rat in a cage. I'm out of here in due time. I need to look for a job where I am treated (and paid!) like a valued, tenured professional and not that rat in a cage.

Amen to that!! Most people working here dont know how good Axcan/Aptalis used to be because they have been hired in the last two years.
Zone Managers:Why don't you give kudos where they are due every once in a while of and pretend like you actually care about your employees. You were once in our shoes, so is it so hard to respond to an email that you are cc'd on! Seriously, does it really take that long to email a quick response saying "GREAT JOB, GOOD JOB, KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK. We are getting reamed in everything else, so how about a little love.

Oh gimme a break...I love when people say that about a region (or a district in other companies) that contains the state of Texas! Huge volume, great access, easy managed care plans, and when you're talking about volumes that are as low as they are here, yes, that region would do well. A blind monkey could've led that region. KC wanted to promote out JT so he didn't take her job. His employees couldn't stand him and were happy to see him go. And I know the CFAMs are thrilled with his stupid excel trackers just like the RMs are overjoyed at his strategic planning worksheets....what a dork.

And he deserves cudos for that achievement. And, he did it the Aptalis way, within a culture that let him succeed. And he's only getting heat b/c of what he wants to change.
But, if we're going to go there, where was JT as a rep? How did he do his first 3 years as a manager? He wasn't on a performance improvment plan, was he?

I think that the problem is JT seems to be the exception to the rule. Did he ever make it to Presidents Club as a rep? It seems as if this new levelling is punishing good reps who may have stagnant territories, from moving up to different levels and even management roles.
Manager of Texas! Need we say more. Look at the Rectiv percentages of the TX reps. Not taking anything away from their sales abilities, but managers can only do so much with motivation or number crunching. It's all about Managed Care Coverage. Some territories are being destroyed by Managed Care, but it's all part of the job, right? Is there any help or sense of urgency when products fall off of major plans?

You hit the nail right there: Texas and Rectiv. Most of the Rectiv contest winners were from the south, and Texas, so yeah mgd care is part of the job, and it's important if you have a novel or 1st in class med that hasn't reached the pullthrough yet for preferred status. But Rectiv? Seriously? Its a pos product that is not superior to ccb's and Drs don't want to write it and then we make it impossible w/ moronic coupons and crap coverage. We made a mistake and over estimated the market, paid way too much for this junk, and now are stuck w/ having to sell it. So the fact that TX did well with that stupid tube o' headaches is why JT was promoted. Period.

I used to work at Axcan and wanted to check out this thread. Absolutely hilarious that Justin got that promotion. I mean good for him. I was impressed when he was promoted to manager after doing absolutely nothing as a rep (I'm still baffled as to why Kitty actually likes this guy), and now I'm equally as impressed that he got another promotion. Bravo Justin! Whatever you're doing is working, so keep it up! I'm not exactly sure what he actually brings to the table but hell the guy is a social zero, and was never really good at anything when I worked there, so keep your chins up all you Aptalis folks, theres hope for you even if you perform poorly and no one likes you! Its pretty much the only company where thats possible! Glad I got out when I did. Enjoy the ride....
