Poor timing

Spot on. Change is always challenging and to roll out this distraction going into Q4 when both brands are underperforming is questionable. People are leaving left and right, PIPs are being handed out like candy and the pressure is on metrics, let’s toss on another time consuming project for the TBMs.

EM has too many steps, it doesn’t flow well. No support from IT as nobody at help desk knows jack squat about the app.

What I find remarkable about this rollout, much like all the others, is that Alkermes’ commercial operations strategy is all trial and error. Every single thing they “launch” is an absolute clusterfuck because they don’t test anything with the end users, us reps, BEFORE they launch on a national scale. It’s as if they do no scenario planning and just throw the spaghetti on the wall to see what sticks.

And ok, we’re a midsized pharma company that has to be a little scrappier than a big pharma, but this is a publicly traded company for god sakes. There is no accountability to the people running this ship - in fact, all the people in commercial operations continue to get promoted over and over again. You know why that is? At the end of the day, if we reps perform, help hit necessary profitability, which WE DO, all of the potatoes at the home office get rewarded for their mediocrity. Meanwhile, we reps get treated like misbehaving children for not meeting their arbitrary, outsized goals.

“Hey kid, solve this calculus problem asap. all you get is a dull pencil and scrap of dirty paper - and if you get it wrong, you’re in trouble. No, you can’t have more paper and a calculator. Good luck shithead.”
