It;s a great time to be in diabetes. Look at how many things are going on? There won't be any layoffs. Go do your job and be thankful to be employed.

its a great time, unless you're miserable. This company was so much better 10 years ago. A good ,even bearable culture has morphed into a toxic one. I'd love to go back to the day when access budget was a few hundred dollars per month.
It's more than doubled in past 5-6 years. More access meals, more programs, use all avail resources, increase your call average, more training, more everything....The point is (the workload is much more and the expectations are greater year over year), and for a 2% raise at that. It's not all roses and perfume like most of you people act like it is.

You should run for political office because you are so full of shit that people must be able to smell you from a mile away. This is the simplest, brainless job that a even the UPS man could handle it with less than one day of training. Just go thru the ridiculous and worthless steps every day and keep your nose clean because you will never find an easier job that pays this well.
Actually the previous post of above ...the person is spot on, and you're wrong. You're probably an inexperienced millennial that texts your mom upstairs while you're an adult living in the basement for "another round of cheese balls and Kool-Aid". This job isn't as easy as you think.
Novo's oral semaglutide will hit the market by September. Who thinks we'll be out of jobs by then?
In Novo's Pioneer study, people treated with oral semaglutide achieved greater blood glucose reductions compared to Merck's Januvia (sitagliptin), Boehringer Ingelheim and Eli Lilly's Jardiance (empagliflozin), and Novo's own daily GLP-1 injection Victoza (liraglutide) as well as placebo.

Sounds like a winner to me! Can’t believe that AZ is still toughing it out and competing in the Diabetes market. It’s time for AZ to unfriend Diabetes.
Yup, and this may help that along. AZ, always late to the party.
BI and Lilly's diabetes drug Jardiance reverses heart failure in animal models
It'll happen. In addition to the above posts, think about the new Invokana HF data...no amputations, and the better data in reducing HF ...is much better than us. Seriously, we are a third class drug in the market. Combine that with less than HALF of the market share we used to have with Bydureon, and the recipe is this....theres alot -simply put- that we're not being told. Moving forward. ..I bet most of us will be clawing and begging just to get in the ballpark of a decent bonus check. Its not getting better, like the puppets tell us. Most I think would agree that selling these drugs are much more difficult than a couple years ago. Senior management , marketing, and managed care have really handed it to us.
I think we all realize BCise is awful and recognize that Farxiga is better than BCise...is it better than any other SGLT2? No.
AZs strategy is to spend as little as possible, keep costs down (eg hiring everyone as a contract rep now), and attempt to get a small slice of a big pie. It probably works on a corporate level, I dont think it works so much on a rep level

If you can’t spin this in your favor you need to look for another job!!
Possibly one in management, where you just have to pretend the salesforce should be able to spin straw in to gold
What reputable pharmaceutical company would want to hire incompetent, arrogant and proud AZ Diabetes reps? That goes for both PC and ESS. You all act like the invincible and untouchable. Cry your way soon to EDD unemployment.
Only according to Veeva
Maybe in your territory. My partner is ALL about “The priority “ and so is our manager . You’d think he’d sell symbicort 10000% of the time , but that’s not happening. If my COE ranking was dependent on 1 thing , you bet your bottom I’d be selling 1 thing !
Regardless ,like the previous poster said DSA is only helping the competition.
Unfortunately, what we are attempting to do is playing right into what the competition is saying. Even doctors are asking if we are promoting for the competition. Time could be better spent actually selling something to help our bottom line. We drop SOV and resources and wonder why our sales decrease....really?
Need to remember marketing teams at AZ are very incestuous. Sales knows little, they know much. Play the game once aligned to a brand and you will climb quickly. Having been on the sales side for many years, I am amazed at the recycled messaging that comes out as something new and awesome.
Marketing's rule #1 is always be incredibly positive in delivering strategy. Question it and you are now marked.
