Coronavirus Layoffs

What you are describing is what pharma sales used to be before Pfizer started hiring soldiers and cheerleaders (not that it is still this way- the job became too intellectually demanding and with too much grunt work for them to want to stick around). Pharma reps used to have to be pharmacists or science majors, but they didn’t have much business acumen. It still takes a sales mentality to do this job.


I looked overseas once and they required a PhD I think it was Ireland or England. This was years ago.
 






Managers seem panicked lately. I think we will see changes next month.

If I were a manager, I would be worried. Some territories have 5-6 reps including CV, Institutional, PCP, & CSO. That’s 5 managers per footprint if you have CSO for PCP & CV. Do we really need 5 managers for one territory (CV, Institution, PCP, Syneos, & IQvia)? I think it’s absurd. At least reps are making contacts with offices and able to do zoom lunches etc. What are all of these managers doing besides golfing and pretending to be busy? Add in an RBD & NSD and some territories have 7 managers. We’re top heavy.

Agreed, but does anyone have any REAL news?
 


















Correction: Biotech sales reps are regarding even higher than device sales reps. They are considered the best type of sales professional, period. When recruiters see JBI on your resume, they fall all over themselves to represent you because every company wants you. I could probably get a job on Wall Street with JBI on my resume. Recruiters consider us as close to MDs as a rep could get. Plus, our access is guaranteed. Docs actually WANT to see us. It's the best gig in the world and the most respectable too.

Oh, I get it, you're joking.

...and with a top-tier degree from Northwestern State, their credentials are golden.

True dat, without even factoring in all the Boston Market Bucks we all got hoarded. It takes serious talent to amass this kind of access and credibility.

*Chews and spits out chicken bone*

Did Marti tell you that? LMAO
 
























Anyone concerned about the “fraudulent” UNEMPLOYMENT WELCOME KITS people received yesterday in the mail? I mean, the email said it was fraudulent.......but really? You’re going to blame a cyber security infiltration? We got smarter people than that, don’t we? Can’t find a better excuse. The layoffs are coming. I just wonder which sector got the welcome kits yesterday......
