Changes to come

Location, territories are going to be big!

Snoop
Exactly snoop........But if there are four of ya in the same location, the manager has the right and freedom to pick the one they want...So if you sat around and didnt deliver on frequency and sales, etc. and the guy working in the same area did, you will be tossed! If there are no spots in your area then it wont matter how well you did. Remember this, Publicis has contracts and needs people, ask yourself this: Did publicis buy CSO from PDI for a BI contract that ended? Kerydin and the HMN deal? No, they bought that along with the fact that PDI has a bunch of trained reps ready. No interviewing, no drug screening, no background checks, no will they be a problem, etc etc etc. Those on board are much easier to place into spots than having some HR person go through a thousand resumes and have some manager sit at a Hilton all day trying to decide which one may work out
 












Really sad!
We need open honest communication.
If whom ever is deciding our fate looks at our performance records as well as our FILES those that deserve will be here.
If they neglect our FILES and performance than they have not done their due diligence!
 


















You are assuming somebody cares. They don't. Everyone is a number. Slots will be filled based on geography.

managers care, believe me, they do in the sense of what makes their job easier. Again, managers have a say here, and they will take the ones that have done the job without headaches and issues. Make your calls? Made a good bonus?? Admin done on time every time? Good you'll do....So you have not hit your call metrics in any of the previous quarters, your bonus is in the bottom 10%, I have to bug you every week to do work day and expense reports, etc. So why oh why would I want to bring that along with me to a new beginning...dont think so
 
























For those of you who have never been on a contract before and have never gone through this. The reps that stay are based purely on geography. Nothing more, nothing less. Is it fair, NO, but that's how it's done.

Yes, they choose based on need and where you live and where territories are. The biggest key here is "has your manager been retained" and do you live in the same area as he or she does. If your manager lives 2 blocks away its a good sign that they will need people in that area. Of course managers are going to have huge territories so never know....Good Luck this is the week, look for the do not sample CR email soon

When do we get this email?
 


















This is absolutely unbelievable the way this is being handled!
It's not right.
However, the bottom line we don't have any choice except to wait or go look for a new gig
Before they are all gone.
I'm sure that our leadership have all been taken care of.
The decent thing to do is to let us know yesterday whether we will or will not be on the team
Going forward.
Also, they needed to tell us what criteria they are using.
Not the BS it is where you live.
We have some long time Reps who have been reported to HR and thrown out of offices.
Just because they've been around doesn't mean they deserve a job over someone who has delivered since day one!
Good luck to everyone!
