Bloodbath in Puerto Rico

all cultures are different.......not really better or worst, just different. That been said, we can't be blind to many of the realities present in Puerto Rico.

Puerto Rico it's been run as a farm by a group of managers with very low education which become "best friends" with any boss assigned to the Island for any given period. This managers consider their position a social club which is only open to their close friends without regards to their capacity, expertise , drive or education. The lower all these parameters are, the better.

We all agree NOvartis has the worst managers in the business with one or two exeptions. In Puerto Rico, Merck, Bristol, GSK, Sanofi etc.....owe their success to the incompetence, laziness, stupidity, allways lost and reactive actitud exhibited by all local managers.
All of them had something in common when they were reps...........non of them worked hard or follow the rules.......all of them took the suck up aproach......becoming the boss best friend or as I prefer to call it " ass kisser" That's the Novartis company culture down there......that's the culture managers have impossed over the sales force and which is presented to the medical community. These are the guys who destroyed Novartis from the inside and the main reason why there are less physicians prescribing Novartis products every day. The reps are just a reflection of the way the managers run Puerto Rico. They do whatever they have do to survive regardless of how inmoral, incorrect, ilegal or shamfull it is.

Now that the boat is sinking, all this "rats" are going crazy trying to hold on to their jobs. All of them have been sending resumes everywhere for the last 18 months because they knew cuts were comming, still, they kept most of their sales forces hypnotized with the slogan "Novartis is the place to be".
In Puerto Rico managers like Victor Arambarry, Frank Ramirez, Jose Hernandez, Carlos Cano & Glorimar Soto constantly reminded reps in public settings and meetings, that they must speak up whenever they need to and expose any situation that is wrong because in Novartis there is no retaliation....... we all know that's a joke......we all have witnessed what happens to any rep who speaks up, specially if it is against a higher ranking individual, curiosly, non of the reps who speak up last longer than a year after they do so. They always get fired by other reasons. In a private setting, all managers reminded their reps that is better to keep their mouths shut in order to avoid unpleasant situations which might draw attention to Puerto Rico and the managers.

Now we have nothing to fear from the retaliation that does not exit.

Lets take Frank Ramirez for instance.......this guy was promoted to manager because he had sensitive information on other managers and the only way to keep him shut was making him a manager....since the first day, this guy sexually harass several reps like- Janice, Marisol, Ideliza (she actually took advantage of that and ended up having a protector), Glorivee etc.....This is the moment to speak up! One of the reps complaint a year ago but Novartis did nothing.......as always. This same guy was known for showing up drunk at meetings, to the point of falling down in several ocations. On his daily routine, he was home aroung 3 pm and already drunk. In several speaker programs the same show took place, falling down in front of physicians. Alcohol abuse and sex addict, bad combination for a manager.......but Novartis don't care.....they can do whatever they want because "Novartis is the place to be"

Seriously, the sadest part about this incidents is that all the other managers knew about them and did nothing, theu look the other way, violating the code of counduct. Anthony Ortiz & Carlos Cano are the only 2 managers surviving the cut, however this violation of company rules has not been attended and both of them are involved in the cover up.

More to come soon

that is correct
 




Many of you need to be ashamed of the comments you have made on this board about our Puerto Rican friends. They are just like you and me. They want to work, provide for their families and have a life. Loyalty to Novartis has been repaid with the loss of their job and their feelings and responses are exactly the same as everyone of us here on the mainland.

Mis amigos, gilipollas estan vivos y bien en todas partes. No creo ni por un momento que las palabras de unos cuantos idiotas en este tablon de anuncios reflejan la posicion de la mayoria de aquellos de nosotros en el continente. Lamento que mi espanol no es mejor, pero yo soy un gringo y el espanol no es mi primera o segunda lengua. Buena suerte a todos ustedes y espero que todos encontrar un empleo pronto.

And for those of you who have no idea what I wrote, the PR reps can do it in both languages. And you would not believe how many times I have interviewed and have been moved forward here in the States because I had some Spanish skills. Maybe it's time for many of you to learn another language, can't hurt in your job hunt in the future.
 




In Puerto Rico everybody knows Carlos Cano as an ass kisser, back stabber & recreational drug user (if Novartis wants to be sure, just performe a hair sample test......you'll see the results).
Since he moved to Gurabo, his wife is been getting bussy & quite friendly with some of the neighbors and when he is not around, she's been taken care off and served by 2 of his friendly neighbors. I guess she developed a taste for bigger guys! I don't blame her......Carlos Cano looks like the M&Ms in the commercial! We belive he knows about the situation, but it makes more sence to him not to do or say anything about it, otherwise he might end up paying child support and on the street........as one of the most colorful expresions we have says " si naciste pa cabron, del cielo t caen los cuernos"

Some of the reps will get together during the holidays and might pay him a visit after this Friday......lets see how this coward reacts......he might end up with a free prostate exam.......as you all know, he loves that stuff. We may also have a chance to serve his wife too.
For our English speaking friends, here you have some of the adjetives you may use in spanish to address Carlos Cano when you see him, just to make him feel right at home= lambon, marica, lambe baso, chupa matre, parabi, mar icon, cab ron, rascatranca, mamon, colesterol, culon, el corto, la pu ta d antony. In the spirit of Diversity and Inclusion, feel free to use this words whenever you see Carlos Cano, Antony Ortiz or Aunt Jemima......ups......sorry...... Jessica, our beloved and enlightened director.......she's not fat......she just has too much skin on her.
eso es asi. libre al fin
 




















Can u give us details about the package? What the new structure looks like and how you got the news?

Thanks we want to see the punch coming

it was a long cylindrical shaped object that was supported by two smaller oval objects. it protruded about 7 inches from the base with a slight curve (about 10 degrees) down. The tip was slightly larger than the shaft and was shinier. Does that help?
