Help with incompetent Manager?

[Anonymous]

I know that there are a lot of crappy DM's in this industry. Unfortunately, I seem to have been stuck with one of the most incompetent. At first myself and several on my team thought for sure someone higher up will notice and they would lose their job. So far, no dice. Does Publicis every do any type of surveying of employees into their managers style, knowledge, and effectiveness? Is there any way to anonymously report my manager? Anonymous is the key word, several of my team members want a better manager but are not willing to step forward unless it is anonymous. The idea of ratting on someone is tough but it has gotten way out of hand.

I had a similar situation with a Publicis DM. I finally reported it to HR, but they dragged their asses doing anything about it. They were so ineffective, I had to involve the EEOC.

But I'm gad I finally did something about it.

Good luck!

How long have you worked for this person? Are they just another idiot or have they done something inappropriate? What would a "better manager" be? Either you're another lazy ass cry baby or you truly have a legitimate gripe. If you feel you do, call HR.

Did this person hire you? Or were you merged with another territory and just happened to fall into this?

I did call HR. The HR person to told me to go suck a black herpetic cock. I may sue.

There’s a reason why they are working for Wyeth, oopsie I mean Publicis. In addition, there is a reason why you work for Publicis and not employed with a direct company. Just shut your pie hole and get your panera order right

The company has a no-retaliation policy that is strictly enforced at all levels. Talk to Andrew in HR.

Could not have said that better myself! Carry on with your backstabbing, undermining, embarrassing lives, Wyethicis! All of you are the same.

The nasty mean spirited people who post on here, though no longer amaze me, make me sad for the human race. Are all of you really that miserable in life that posting crappy comments on here is somehow a victory for you? Try taking some deep breaths, count your blessings and be kind to others. It might make you happier people.

Thanks to the people who had actual advise. I was not hired by this individual, they were hired around the same time as myself and therefore, I was interviewed by someone else. It is depressing to have my current manager, on other contracts I was managed by great managers. For what it is worth, I am not in this job because I am lazy. If I was lazy my current manager would be great as they do zero managing.
I was hired straight out of college, not let go from another company, and I have zero interest in being hired direct into a pharma company. I have, for now, put my job and money low on my priority list in order to have other aspects of my life flourish. I enjoy having time for my spouse, hobbies, and life in general. Though it is hard for some to understand these decisions have helped me not be the type of crazy negative and often money centric people many of you are. I enjoy my work life balance, and the uncertainty of contract work is not a deterrent for me with my current life. I hope some of you find more positivity in life.

I have talked to a few equally unhappy coworkers and I believe after reading some lionsden info and the few helpful posts, that we can indeed be anonymous if we decide to step forward to HR. It is just a hard decision to make.Thanks again to those who are the actual helpful people who read and post on these boards. Wish all of you luck!

I have had my share of incompetent managers - problem is, no matter how much you complain - or to who, nothing will be done. It has been my experience that HR supports only the higher levels, so if you are a rep complaining about a manager, you will get nowhere. However if you are a manager complaining about a rep - you have free reign to do whatever the hell you want. That's a fact, and that's just how it goes, sad but true.

The good news is, this is a contract, so you have only to suffer through until the contract ends. If you really cannot take it, interview with other contract company's. I like working for contract companys. I learn about different disease states, different drugs, have the great pleasure to call on many different docs, and know that I will be on contract for a limited period of time, then move on. For me, contract is the way to go. Good luck to you.

This is a fake post but nice try. If you were hired straight out of college than you have no idea what it is like to work direct so you can't even comment on the differences. You give NO SPECIFIS about what you don't like about your manager. You just say you don't like him/her. By the way, cut the Kumbaya shit. This is pharma. It doesn't get any dirtier!

A post that isn't full of negativity does not mean that it is fake. I did not give specifics on my complaints about my manager for a variety of reasons. One being they are numerous and not easy to sum up in a post. Second, details do not help with anonymity. I did not figure cafepharma needed all the details; I will save those for HR.

You are correct being hired straight out of college into contract does mean I cannot comment on what it is like to be hired direct, and in fact I did not. I have just looked at my priorities in life right now, my typical contentment with my job, and weighed it with the stress and dog eat dog world that most of you on here describe working direct for big pharma as. I do not need firsthand knowledge at this point to come to a decision I am ok with making.

I have decided for now, contract is the way to go for me. Is my job perfect? Do I love Publicis, do I love the company the contract is with? No of course not. I get frustrated, I often feel I make no difference, I get sick of the stupidity of directives and staff members, and I could go on and on, but I can live with these complaints for now, so I try not to dwell. Will my priorities ever change? Sure it is possible since life is unpredictable, however you can rest assured that I will due my best to keep my as you call it “Kumbaya shit” attitude. Even if pharma is dirty as you call it, it doesn’t mean I have to let it drag me down to that level. I would rather be doing a job way below myself, in or out of pharma, than have the attitude many of you have sadly acquired.

Life is way too short for negativity. Do I become negative at times, of course I am human. But I strive not to be. Why? Call my crazy or fake but I believe it makes me and the others around me happier people. This doesn’t mean I am a fake poster. An optimistic attitude and lack of details from someone who wants to be anonymous, leads you to believe a fake post? What a sad cynical person.

Yawn. The correct usage is adviCe NOT adviSe!! Obviously you are too busy being absorbed in yourself. While you are "finding more positivity" take a refresher course in elementary English.

There is no way someone would be dumb enough to spend this much time posting a fake post. Plus obvious this person chose a contract because a direct company will not hire someone straight out of college who can't tell the difference between my & me. No doctor or DM would want to deal with a me me me me it's all about me & me me me freak.

You have got to love the inevitable grammar Nazi, nothing if not predictable. I love the ones who post and have typos and grammatical errors themselves. Is there an old thread, closed issue, or something nobody else is interested in? How about we bring it back to the top with grammar comments!

Notice most people don’t really have the time to write a novel. Typos are fine it happends but you obviously don’t know your basic usage of words. In other words, don’t even bother trying to act smart. It’s not working for you. Let me guess majored in liberal arts? online school? University of Phoenix grad?
