Hem/Onc position in LA

Quote






Nobody is happy in Hem or Onc. I'd move to keep my salary and job even though I hear those that survived the last cut are scared to speak out - morale isn't as low as in Gen Med right now, but it's hardly any better. That's what I hate about these companies, everybody is so scared and they use that fear - maybe it isn't worth the money.

Then why don't you quit and leave too?
 






























Wrong RD. LA is in the west. Manager is out of Dallas.

I'm happy someone stuck it out with Novartis for many years and that he can retire and move on to more important things. They did not need to lose JH. The reorganization gave him a huge geography that was no longer really oncology. There was nothing done to correct the travel issue even though options were proposed. Most of the reorganization was handled well but the complete inflexibility of working with people who end up with geographies that don't work with their lives has cost the company some of the best reps out there.

Congratulations MW. I am jealous.
Sorry to lose you JH. You were outstanding.

LA is a strong Hem3 territory. The manager is fantastic and communicates but isn't going to let people slack and not work. The other hems are good. There's an onc backstabber and lifer without any hope of leaving. I would take the hem job in a minute but avoid the other job like the plague.

Whaaa? He retired - when? I sat with him for breakfast every morning at the 1H and didn't he didn't say anything that he was leaving. I guess I didn't make the party list.

Don't worry about it - you're not the only one. He didn't tell anybody in his region either when he did it. Very few knew - I'm a little peeved he didn't call.
 


















That's one of the things I like most about him. After 30 years, people should have listened more and critiqued less. I love straight shooters who don't mince words. We need more like him to clearly and frankly say how it is!
 






Too bad that the culture at Novartis doesn't appreciate, nor generally allow, that kind of candidness. When management hears it, they spin it...."we heard from you....." which usually leads to more unproductive and incompetent action.

Yeah he did tend to get in management's face - maybe once too often. Current management says don't offer up any complaints without a solution - then drop it. Lame.
