Many of you do work 4-5 hours a day, cater food, do nothing, add no value, etc. Many of you are diabetes or primary care reps making 100k in small territories with teammates. Consider some people commenting here have a different perception than you because:

1. Some of us getting electric cars have roles that don’t involve standing in a closet or catering food. FRMs, KADs, biologic reps, TLLs.
2. Many in small sales forces at AZ who’s territories are 4-5 states
3. Many of us that making over 200k and actually do have a job to do, but get stuffed in the same, below industry standard vehicle as the rest of you who don’t work
4. Many of us that do already have personal cars, having the fleet vehicle is a huge inconvenience that we pay 140 for. I don’t need anymore inconveniences in an already booked solid day.


Your perception of how useless reps are is shaped by who you are as a rep.

As one of these reps - could not agree more!!!!!!!!!!!! AZ has by far the worst vehicles in the industry on top of lowest pay versus other companies
 
















If you have a large territory that requires a lot of long distance driving this is going to be a pain in the ass to charge. The bolt euv is only capable of DC fast charging at 55kWh. Compared to a Tesla which can charge up to 250 kWh. So to charge from 10%-80% could take over 1 hour or more. So realistically you're looking at least a 30 min charging session to ensure you will have enough range to get home or wherever you need to go. That's going to get old real fast.

Your employment status got old real fast. Stop the whining!
 












I wonder what HR will say if we call to complain about feeling unsafe in this car? This whole electric car is a shit show. Remote calls will go up for sure and virtual engagements. I drive way to much to have anxiety about charging a car.

An EV is a non starter at this point in my territory. It is way to large, the infrastructure isn't there yet, and there is no way I'm going to sit around waiting for 45 minutes on long road trips mapping out and waiting at charging stations every 300 miles to recharge.

I get wanting to go that direction over time but EV's and infrastructure are not yet ready for prime time as fleet vehicles. Maybe in Europe or densely populated areas in the NE but not in the west or areas of the US with large, wide open spaces and travel requirements.

No, imbecile, you are not taking your car and driving through multiple states daily. If you don’t like the option, you are free to go to a company with gas powered vehicles. Now, STFU rep.

F you a$$hole. Electric vehicles are not a one size fits all proposition. Many of us live in large geographic areas and cover multiple states. Electric vehicles getting 350 miles or less per charge are not currently viable opitions in such territories given the drive requirements and lack of infrastructure.

I get some territories being required to go electric but the US is not Europe and management doesn't appear to understand it isn't all the densely populated NE either. The company needs to continue to offer hybrid options until EV vehicle batteries can go much longer between charges and infrastructure is where it needs to be across the board.

This is anything but a spoiled rep issue. This is a reality issue. It would seem some of you east coast and Europe based office employees have next to no concept of the diverse and varied geography of this country.

Drive the Bolt or quit, angry loser. In the end, you'll drive the car that we tell you to drive, and you'll shut up about it. Get back to routing your next week's lunch schedule, rep.

I wouldn't go to HR. It's nothing to do with them. I have been with the AZ for more than 10 years now and have seen many of us not getting the solutions because for everything employee related we tend to go to HR. It's not them, it's our TOP leadership which decides all this crap. I am planning to go to my manager or their manager

I assume it is the same person from HQ posting this drivel. The 21st century idiot version of Marie Antoinette.
Guaranteed the moron will be looking this person up and probably still won't be able to figure out the reference.
