Simple Formula:

Founder hires Big Pharma executive as Head of Commercial.

- Head of Commercial hires sales and market access leadership based on their own insecurities, bringing in less intelligent “yes men” who can be controlled and stoke the Executives’ ego.

- Market Access hired because they have a lot of contacts in the payer community, even though they have never been able to leverage these contacts to gain favorable payer status for any of their products and usually blame the sales teams for lack of product sales.

- Sales leadership is typically big pharma friends or former colleagues (loyalist and yes men) or relatively inexperienced “leaders” who are eager to please “puppies” to their master (VP or Head of Sales).

Founders and Scientists continue to buy the line of BS from the Presidents and VP of Commercial Leadership that they hire, unknowingly starting off with a “Big Pharma” culture instead of a Start-up culture. It’s easy to blame the Founders and Scientists for making this mistake but we all know they:

- Are arrogant and believe their medicine is so good that it will actually sell itself.

- Are awkward introverts in many instances and are easy to fool with a great line of BS.

- Are either 1) completely hands off from commercial and provide little oversight to ensure their company is going to be successful, or; 2) complete control freaks that micromanage every decision being made, not allowing any chance of creating a successful commercial culture of trust, transparency and teamwork that must take place in a start-up.

There are many reasons start-up continue to fail, even with phenomenal products. It has been very rare to find a successful start-up over the past couple of years AND YET THIS TREND CONTINUES.

SUCH A WASTE! Founders and Scientists who are looking to form a successful start-up commercial team - WAKE UP!!!!!!!

Diversity and woke BS are a luxury few startups can afford. Make a profit and then embark on your social justice, diversity, equity, inclusion mission. Read between the lines dummies. We need to make money before we can be “woke.”
 


















Two more RBDs from Gilead hired. Now 7 out of 10 sales leadership from Gilead and all of the VPs. I left Gilead only to remain at Gilead. Crazy. Narcissist West Zone Director and West RBD still sleeping together and not hiding it. Anyone paying attention can see it.
 






GBT 2B. GILD 90B. GBT will be Gilead in 2022. And the changes - leaders past lucky success rarely transfers to new companies but GBT like others will find that out the hard way.

Oh, he kills it when her husband is away or she's on work trips. So sad. Their poor families at home don't know what everyone else knows.

WTF! If you ask your manager he/she will not tell you that “yes I am tracking you”, but if you do ask that question he/she will be concerned/wondering as to why you are worried about being tracked, so don’t do it.

It is company expectation that the APP is to be turned on during work hours as manual mileage reporting, physically entering each location you went to in the APP, defeats the purpose of using the APP, as it is supposed to track your miles, where you went, when you got there, how long you stayed at that location, and will create/populate your mileage report for you and your manager (if he/she wants to look at it) on that day.

If you go home at 2pm it will show up on the daily mileage report, so yes your manager will then question you as why you were home at 2pm.

So working 10am-2pm big pharma working days are over if that’s what you are used to.

Old post, but considering applying for LA territory. How’s the RBD? Looks like Gilead all the way around.. which screams big pharma to me.
Is the pay / IC plan up to standard? I have >10 years oncology, solid relationships in the area with a decent gig right now…But just got new manager that isn’t strong and micro/spreadsheet focused.

Pass or consider? Car allowance? Fleet?

Left Gilead for GBT to get away from Gilead. Gilead all over again. Same stuff. Treating people like crap, primary care climate, no strategy, and affairs. That’s right. Just like Gilead. Check out the West Zone Director and the West RBD. Everyone knew they were sleeping together at Gilead and now they brought their indiscreet relationship to GBT. What a disaster.
