Actually it's pretty well documented and largely a FACT that the demise of this industry started with the selling model of sending out a bunch of "soldiers" to bombard doctors with free shit and buy scripts. Because of that, the government has all but eliminated the ability of anyone to sell anything in the pharma industry....the reality is all these old-timers who think they know how to sell and rive business refuse to acknowledge that, in their day, no creativity and effort was needed to succeed. Call on enough people and spend enough money and you'll get scripts especially when there are no obstacles to writing anything....just look at management now. These are largely ex-sales reps who got to the middle/senior management level based on sales success. Now they run states and regions and are completely lost and clueless.
Those who signed this have shown their true hand. They will try to explain why they signed it ......but it won't work. All the B.S that comes out when your with your manager or at the meetings will not offset any current employee who signed this suit. You are now a documented malcontent, don't try to spin it now or talk your way out of it.
Remember.......you are curently suing your employer ! They never like that !
When I started working for Pfizer there were two divisions and roughly 800 field sales employees. Most of the reps were ex-pharmacists or prior service (military). Our VP of Sales was a former Marine. We loved the opportunity to bring our customers information about our "best in class" products. The word "LOSERS" was not in our vocabulary. We did not "lie" (or even exaggerate) the data (didn't want to risk our reputation). Most of you would not have lasted two days in that environment. You can be thankful that the expansion (starting with Pratt) diluted the values of the corporation to the cesspool you have today. You can rest assured that the tactics (endorsed by management no less) have led to the demise of the entire pharmaceutical industry. "Jackasses" like youself have no future in business (certainly not management).
Can any DM's comment on the implications of currently employed reps signing this lawsuit ?

Roerig = Those were the old warriors. Fearless, fight you in the trenches types. They were like a religion all their own.
Labs = Those were the white-collar 9-5 clean guys who got all the drugs that sold themselves. Smart as hell and a breed apart from today's reps.
Those were the great days of Pfizer.
I agree that it's very stupid to be on this list, these lawsuits are ridiculous based on the flexibility we have with our job.
However, isn't it illegal for a company to take action against an employee for being part of a lawsuit against the company? If layoffs do happen, and PFE eliminates all the active employees on this list, that would mean even more trouble for PFE. They can't single out these employees.
SD here. Yes it's true we cannot single you out. We didn't even notice who was on the list. (Wink. Wink.)
These reps should all be canned ! They There is no action which worse than suing your employer. Calling HR with compliants etc, most of these people thought they could sue behind the seens and no one would know.
Everyone knows........since you don't want to be here, just leave and find a new path in life.

All of the lawyers posting with one another are idiots...keep up the bullying...it's still the freedom of speech and action...and the attorney's don't know what will end up being right at the end of the day..,those who signed up ...good for you...Lawyers are are scared they might not be right at the end of the trial.Most who are still employed and signed this .......... are shitting their pants ! They know they screwed up and this one won't go away
