I can't even get in the field for all the conference calls every week. We have primary care calls, pysch calls, women's network, strattera, cialis, cymbalta, Axiron, benefits, more benefits, formulary, area meeting conf calls, and the list goes on and on. Last week I had 7 conference calls. Then we have our champ roles wanting to do retreats 1-2 day out of town meetings. AS if we really want to travel on top of all the conference calls. We could also discuss this in person. I am pissed because my numbers are not growing, and many times wonder, Hmmmm... if Lilly actually allowed me to work a full day, maybe I could get more calls in and increase my sales. Because Lord knows we aren't getting paid for customer metrics.

And the 1 1/2 hours conference call with Alex was the biggest waste of time. We all know we are going to have some sort of reorg. Just tell us how big and when. We are losing productivity and engagement over the looming changes. JUST DO IT!
 




We could save the company a load of money if we just have a couple conference calls instead of a national meeting!!! How 'bout that? Or maybe we could just pray for another hurricane timed just right.

Didn't you here, no national sales meeting this year. But we will still have district and area meetings. The real question is why? Customers have told us that they do not want to engage in a product conversation when the product is old and first 9 months is all you have to detail a product. Customers just want to talk. So tell our mangers to stay out in the car and stop making us act like idiots in front of our customers.
 








Conf. calls are great way for managers to act 'manager like stuff', it takes them hours to prep for calls, prepare powerpoint notes to distribute, have pre-conf. calls going over the upcoming conf. call with their reps, writing follow-up reports etc...keeps'em busy

Sounds like the same old crap going on in all of Pharma. I bailed out of there after 12 years. Was very tired of the nonsense. Sure, the money was good. But, I just couldn't stand the BS anymore.
