Dear Institutional DMs, RSMs and Gerard,

You guys are a joke to hospital sales. There isn't a more micromanaged salesforce in this industry. I don't know anyone in a good situation that would want to come here. If the economy wasn't so shitty, nobody would work here.

yeah i know what you mean. i just entered all my TEN calls for the day. just the fact they the company even looks at "call numbers" for a hospital rep selling an antibiotic shows you how completely retarded they are. my new attitude is just give them what they want even though it all BS. why fight it!

Fuck you! You are short sighted morons that have ruined the Institutional Sales team. 20 months into the drug launch and about 50% of the salesforce have been forced out or fired. Yes, some reps need to get let go but 50% in 20 months is ridiculous! How many managers have been forced out? Zero.fucking zero! 4 months into the drug launch and the dumb asshole managers were already putting reps on a letter or warning(PIP) to save their own asses! Are fucking kidding me? Obviously, management has no idea how to sell an antibiotic or understand the formulary process. Can you see how this affects the morale of your team? The message being sent is that reps are completely disposable tools that managers use to protect their own tails. Has a manager EVER protected a good rep that had a bad quarter? The answer is NEVER. So as a rep, the minute things don't look good, I know that nobody will have my back. The minute I get a letter or warning, I will stop working and I will have 6 months to find another job. I may even have to go on medical leave. So every time a rep leaves, that territory is not worked for 9 months. Is this making sense Gerard? The stockholders should be calling for your head! Yes, I am a lowly hospital rep but I will use this anonymous board to call out the dumb assholes that lead this organization. So in conclusion, fuck you Gerard, Len, Jeannie and Mark. Brent...you're cool. Fuck you to the stupid managers that had no hospital or antibiotic experience. Fuck you to the pussy managers that have antibiotic experience and let this madness happen. Thank you.

It all starts in marketing, dumbest exec dir in business.
 






I was fired from this sales team months ago so I have mixed feelings about this posting. After being consistently ranked near the bottom in DOTs, my manager began forcing me out. While I have great respect for the sales people, I also have incredible detest for the knee-jerk culture of this company. I also see a blatant loathing of the salesforce by management. So my question is have things changed at Forest or is this BS still the status quo?

Nope. Losers who can't sell are still being forced out.

I guess that would be me, the loser that couldn't sell TF. To make matters worse, I'm now with a shitty company that pays me 15K more. The shitty management here also trusts me to sell and my lazy boss never works with me. Also how does this company know that I'm working when I don't have call averages in the hospital? Sucks to be me.

When Teflaro was first lauched, we had reps come from Cubist, Pfizer/Wyeth, Astellas. Reps wanted to come here and launch this drug. Today a Cubist rep wouldn't never consider coming to Forest. The caliber of candidates now are folk that want to run away from a bad situation.

Any good rep that left Pfe, Cubist or any other company to sell that crap drug, Teflaro, was either on the brink of getting fired or was fired, not one thing in the data makes Teflaro worth the price, Marketing is as dumb as you can get, Forest is still a laughing stock as an AI company and as long as the people leading this crap are in place it will always be. You all thought you were getting this great 5th generation ceph---ya should have done your homework---at $80+ per day, Levo is a fraction of that, generic ceftraxone is less than $1 per day, I hear it all the time, not worth it and nothing special.
