Agree! It sure sounds like the previous poster is a little bit too happy about this trip and certainly is proclaiming the opposite of everyone else that I have spoken to since returning. Probably a CTL in disguise, my guess, or as someone else posted, a paid PR person is on board this site to downplay any negativity.

well, you are talking about me. I could have taken points and gone on another nice vacation. But, I wanted to be with my colleagues. I felt proud to have finally won this trip after 20 years. I was and am grateful to be selected. Yes, the "help" made my daughter feel unwanted. yes, we were taken off the bus at the airport and asked to take a taxi. Yes, I did grab a few extra waters so that I could afford my daughters meals. Yes, the "help" that Merck brought in kept pointing at me behind my back (at least that's what my daughter said). But, I was granted the HONOR of attending this awards trip for the first time in 20 years. I am still Honored. So please, lets just get through this month and move on with our lives (wherever we all land). If I don't land with Merck, then I count the 20 years as a blessing. I have truly been born to do this job. Oh Gilead...I'm sorry that It didn't work out. You are a "marketing machine"...your just a tad bit dishonest for my taste. Reminds me a lot of another company I almost made the fatal mistake of joining. that would be Vertex. Boy, so glad I didn't join them. Hey Cos, are you still there. Oh really, Im sorry to hear that. Why were you asked to leave?

Actually, I can respond for myself...Thanks. I fully informed my management what I was doing and I was given the blessing. Again, I was just thankful to meet individuals who make me proud to work for Merck. I felt humbled by the strength of character I saw in most who were there. Obviously, If there was a mistake, It was not in me bringing my daughter - it was in not picking my TeamMates for the trip, who deserved the trip far more than I did. I was just glad to be along side "The Best"

You make me want to throw up. For the love of God, wipe that KoolAid off your face. You must just dump the whole pitcher into your mouth. A complete imbecile.

Thank You for taking the time out to defend me. I sincerely appreciate it.

I don't need to defend you from the under achievers that attempt to denigrate your decisions. Again, thanks for you commitment and professionalism. You were a welcome attendee at the Reward Trip and your family was a lovely addition.

I've crossed the stage more times than you and the OP combined. Not an underachiever and not a dummy, either. But I know one when I see one.

Wow, really great timing on your "motivational" email. Straight from the Enron, Lehman Bothers, Corporate Crap Heap of blah blah blah.

Here's my plan: 1. That you learn the definition of commitment for the next time you sit on stage and assure a sales force that Merck is the place to be and is committed to whatever therapeutic area will be next to be axed.

2. That Merck can save some money on any of your next trips by not including your oversize ego. I did not realize that the decision to have an award trip was up to you. Thank god you saved us all by allowing it to go on so the massive suck up fest could in some small way gratify you.

3. That you get over yourself in thinking your piece of fantasy could not have gone out June 20. Why not whip up the poor folks that survive? if you actually believe that PLANNING has anything to do with who stays and who goes, then tell it to the good reps that will get cut- yep, the ones that planned their careers, got promoted, maybe even got to go on YOUR trip. You go ahead and tell them all their planning made any difference.

4. That I get a job with Gilead or BMS or any of Merck's competition so that I can make sure the Merck product doesn't get jack for share and that you and your nicely timed, sensitive, realistic emails are out of a job.

Like that plan? I'm taking control.

I love your plan and I 'm right there with you!

I have to admit....I am loyal to Merck but I think Ro ger Per lmutter would agree with most of what was said. We have to start fixing Mother from the Head down to the toes if we are going to beat the likes of that s l ut Gilead!

OOPs with the exception of item#4. I think I know who wrote this. You will not have far to travel to your new home office.
 




JUST A SIDE NOTE: I just love it when I see a new post on this thread "Hey Riad, Here's My Plan". First, I know that it will be interesting (Like the whole HCV space is...I could write a best selling Novel dealing with the subject matter. It would have Sex, Power, Greed, Betrayal, Secrecy, Patent Infringement, Etc. Etc. Etc) Second, it probably is from some member of "the Team" at least "the Team" as it is now. Its just sad to see what has happened over the last few weeks. Yes, I blame Gilead. Wasn't there some kind of deal going...why did you turn your back and get so ARROGANT!!
 












Hey Riad:

What is your plan? Are you going to take any sales classes and learn how to motivate your team? Are you going to learn to make informed well thought out decisions this year? or are you going to be impulsive, distant and removed from your sales people and treat them like crap? You do realize the people making the money for Merck are the unhappy people you are sending out there in front of doctors. You do realize that the relationships your sales people have will make or break the business at Merck. So, if the plan is to pull names out of a hat and let some of your BEST reps go randomly, this will effect the dynamics on their teams, the morale of people, business relationships with customers, competitors having more advantage, managers not caring and all business sufferer on all levels. All because you don't have a concrete plan, except to be impulsive and make rapid poor choices.
