I don't feel sorry for the old-timers. They'll be cruising into the sunset with fat 401ks and pensions too. I feel sorry for the younger reps that are putting all their eggs into this cracking basket. Ooh, ooh, I want to be an abm, and then someday I'll have Marti's position. Idiot! When did you ever see anyone rise up the ranks any further to the dead end job of RBD, where the dopes who had a few lucky years of good numbers go to prove the Peter Principle. Read on another thread about the clueless RBD and his "Alphabetical selling model." Ninety percent of the reps in his region thinks he's a dummy. The rest are just trying to get promoted. I would give anything to be over the 55 mark right now. They can't fire you without a valid reason or for doing or not doing anything the 4o something crew is doing, which is basically not working. Come on, who in this company works more than 2 or 3 days a week? Not in my region. Almost all of us have side businesses and a couple of the guys even have the RBD heavily invested in theirs, so he can never fire them for fear of losing his investment. The guy is played, Dude!
