Do they know who is staying and going yet?

Translation: learn to kiss people's asses so you can get a job here that involves even less talent or hard work than a rep job requires. "Marketing" maybe? Even though doctors couldn't care less about marketing pieces. You could be a KAM but that job should belong to the screenwriters guild because almost everything they do is completely fabricated and made up. About 300 reps and 5 managers could take the whole portfolio of the company, report to one VP and a board of directors, and that's really all you need here. The numbers wouldn't change much.

You’re terribly oversimplifying what marketers and account managers do and over glorifying what reps do.

As a rep, I attended my kids games, sometimes picked them up when they got sick at school, worked close to home on Fridays, took occasional “office days”, and hit the gym by NLT 5pm while winning multiple awards. Don’t make the job sound like it’s heart surgery. It’s a good life, not one that’s going to burn you out or give you hypertension. Back in the day, I used spend about one day every week or two playing golf with customers.

OK, I'll bite: What to marketers do to justify a $128 million dollar budget (besides DTC advertising with the 2 old people sitting in bathtubs side by side watching a sunset or some lady riding a horse)? There are hundreds of people in the marketing department. What do they do? Doctors always want clinical data.

You can thank the CIA's for that. The idiots who drew up protocols for off label use and then had them available for order in promos. Say hello to billions of dollars in fines. The good ol boys that people speak so reverently of were pretty fucking stupid, actually. Now look at the shit we have to put up with.

No way to de-muck what you "put up with" in the US legal system. With the company forever.

"Hey Bextra Region, since Bextra can be prescribed before oral surgery to reduce pain, let's also include orthopedic surgery in that. We can hire a speaker from the Carolinas who will travel around the country and present this new information to orthos and surgery centers. We will create home made training and promos to have break out sessions at our POA meetings. Any reps who can get Bextra added to standing orders for surgery will join a special club and receive extra ACE points"
