DCOs have been in on the game since 2009

[Anonymous]

I talked to a former HQ manager. I won't say if it's a "he" or a "she"---I'll just use "he". He said that in 2009 the DCOs were given Profit and Loss (P&L) responsibility. At that time, they were instructed to implement a plan to reduce payroll dramatically, beyond that which was delivered by the formal layoffs.

They utilized the managers to do this. I'm sure that some managers received instruction, while others are just naturally inclined to act like managerial scum. The managers that didn't actively target reps for removal were replaced and/or punished in different ways. I know of two of these cases near my location alone.

This is a trustworthy source and I believe every word of it. Anyone suggesting otherwise can save their breath. It couldn't have been more obvious.

What's wrong with that?

Maybe you simply aren't aligned with Mercks priorities or aren't executing with excellence...

No executing from me, thanks. However, I implement with the best of em at Merck. In fact, some say I've been an "implementation excellence" machine ever since Ms. Koerth introduced me to the novel concept around 15 years ago. It worked so well for me that I've continued to execute implementation excellence to this very day! I have no idea what this execution excellence is all about. Executing reps? In a way, that has been what's going on at Merck.

Scum-sucking, bottom feeding maggots---every one of them. And you can also include the ass-kissing CTLs who kiss their asses. My hat is off to the CTLs that refuse to play the game.

I think what he was saying is that DCOs don't really manage anything, which is true. They are trash relayers, nothing more. Well, maybe a few other things more, none of them good.

LOL find out what P and L responsibility is in a corporation. You are not even understanding what the OP was saying or what P and L is. Yes, DCos have budgets and are responsible for those but that is not what we are talking about. Stir the coolaid a bit and you will be ok.
