Depomeds Plan for Pain Force

Quote
























Better start practicing for your panel interviews! It's just a way to judge the reps based on appearance. They already have the sales results. They must wanna see if we are a "good fit" based on our looks.
 


















No communication at all for weeks and then "a few" jobs posted on the Quintiles job site? Stringing us along so no one will quit because there's money at stake ? Need a full team before the deal can close? Lies! Lies and more lies! Couldn't someone have told us they where going to post jobs? Couldn't someone have given us contact info for DMs and RMs in our areas if we couldn't find them on LinkedIn? Pathetic. Disgusted. Couldn't someone have told us there were 2 sales forces? Pain and CNS ? do we apply for these jobs now? How come there aren't jobs posted for all the 88 territories that we currently have? Why have you been avoiding us??????
And you expect us to be working? Hahahahahaha!
 






The most reasonable inference from the positions posted is:
1. The number of openings matches up well to what DEPO told investors.
2. Where there are no opening posted, it's most likely that DEPO already has all the manpower they need in those markets.
3. If there isn't a job posted where you work for Quintiles on the pain contract, odds are you're probably done. With luck, Quintiles will offer you a month's severance.

If you have not yet used your floating holiday/personal days, DO IT IMMEDIATELY. Those are not paid out on separation, where as accrued vacation is.

For those outraged at being lied to, well, grow up. This is the way things are done in a Modern American Corporation. If you don't want to treat people like things, don't go into management. It's a requirement to lie right through your teeth to people in the modern corporation today. They rationalize it as "just business," and they dream sweet dreams of cash in their bank. They suppress any notion that they're stringing real people along and hurting them.

Sometimes DM's are kept in the dark, but everyone above their level is an inveterate liar. If their lips are moving, they're lying.
 






The above poster has it right. All they care about is the money. Not who works for them. When are all of you going to realize this? Quintiles has made a habit of lying to reps for a long time. This is a job that is only good for the short term while you look for something else.

You nailed it on the head!
 






The numbers are in. About 50% of Q reps were hired by Depomed.

So much for the river of lies that "Depomed highly values your experience on the brand."

If Pinocchio were the model, a whole lot of folks who manage for Janssen, Quintiles and Depomed would have to get their noses trimmed...a lot. Honesty is the first casualty in ascending to management. I don't really know how people live their lives in such a swamp of dishonesty. Do they lie as easily to their spouses and their kids? Probably.

It seems more like experience selling the product actually counted against Q reps. Apparently, the inability to make an expensive branded product line fly off shelves was a good reason to avoid employing Q reps.

Well, we'll see how it all works out. The payments Depo owes its lenders are astronomical, so the pressure to make the brand double in sales will be huge. I doubt this will make for happy employees.
