If the Prius is your biggest complaint, you need to get a life. Free car, free gas, insurance, upkeep.....what more do you want?

You have a job.....you're lucky to have it. Shut up and go to work.

I wish the Prius was the biggest problem. The biggest problem is a lack of quality in our products which the Prius is a great metaphor for.

Hey, dumbshit. The IRS requires you to pay for "personal use" of the car, you stupid shit. It is not Hospira trying to rip you off. It is a TAXABLE benefit! Yeah, sure they are stealing from "HIM" that is probably your dumb stupid shit ass that wrote this, thus the anger you are showing. So I will speak in the language you understand. There is no way in hell any company is responsible for paying for a car for someone's family. You are a grown up so learn to manage your money and buy a real car for your car load of rug rats and stop your bitching about the practically free car they give you--that you pay NO maintenance for and I am sure you don't pay for your own gas either.

For the record the Prius has a great safety rating: http://www.motortrend.com/cars/2010/toyota/prius/crash_test_ratings/

you just like to bitch, you candyass

you know just enough to be a stupid ass . Why don't YOU do the math on how much buying a real fucking car would cost your stupid ass if you worked in the real world and a company car was not provided. Better yet, run the numbers on how much you would "need" for any company to re-imburse you for your own POS car for it to be worth as much as the practically free fucking car you get with any company--remember to add oil changes, maine, gas, repairs, insurance, etc. There is no way that you would come out ahead either way. You are just a pathetic POS shit whiny asshole who probably whines about the tax you have to pay on your bonus. If you don't like it--QUIT you huge pussy. The bottom line is you have to have something to bitch about -there are plenty of companies who offer cars and most have caring rates of fees associated with them--go find the best one you deem fit and work there you POS. You act like the company is making money off your god damn car charges. You should be lucky you even have a job instead of bitching out something so ludicrous. Just go get another job you loser. PS ask a FUCKING CPA about the advantages of the company car vs buying your own, maybe then you can understand. Obviously then you would have to stop doing your own taxes on turbotax though.

I've done both - Company cars and personal with allowance/mileage. If you shop smart you can make $250-$1000 a month (after ALL expenses) with your own whip. You'll lose your ass if you lease or insist on buying new.

I drove my car to 250,000 miles and kept up the servicing. The vehicle was paid for and I was able to pocket my car allowance and also take the mileage credit on my taxes every year. Having a company car is a conveinance but it is not always the money saving option. I do not see any other company putting their representatives in a Prius.

Instead of complaining about the car. Just get off your ass and get a real medical sales job and buy whatever the hell you want!

Shoot over to the spine/joint device boards and see how many people are complaining about cars lol.

We plants know better than to whine about the little things. It is a joke to read what all little things you Sales people whine about.

I'd like a new molding machine to help support building a quality product. The one I run is 17 years old.

So just man up and get in the new Prius the company gives you each year. I'll keep wishing -but not whining - for a new molding machine. But it has always been at Hospira - the prima donna Salesforce always come first.
 






As we are all thankful for jobs these days...

the company car is extremely dangerous in snow belt regions! Many people in the northern territories, Western mountain areas have mountain passes to cross, and severe winter conditions. The prius is too light and is blown easily off hte road. To ask a rep to pay exorbitant fees for leather, more lumbar support etc, is absurd. That is not an option. an option would be a car allowance or company car. There has already been a huge accident that resulted in a permanent injury to a young girl at Abbott, and funny, they immediately settled, then the next day letters/emails went out to the company that anyone uncomfortable in snow belt areas to rent a car and they will be giving 4 wheel drive.

Yes, we are all thankful for anything these days, but it is unsafe and not suited for snowy regions or regions with a lot of rain,hills etc.
 






Let's talk about the safety hazards most Hospira employees face as part of the job in our plants. Do you get 4 hours of hazard training each year and have safety posters and reporting ??? Oh, and where is our leather stool that we get to sit on? Oops, we have to stand on the cement floor all day. Getting tired of the whining...I've seen a coworker have their pointer finger sliced completely off above the knuckle. Had to dig it out of the catch bin.
Now stop your whining and drive the new car.
