Hiring blitz

[anonymous]

Can someone explain the rationale behind the frenzy of hiring? Sales are stagnant. Not gaining UHC like we thought. Losing accounts in February that we gained in November. Seems to me like EC has out the pharma playbook. Hire young cheap reps in an expansion. A year later sales are not up to snuff and the experienced better paid reps are removed. The sales expansion can’t be because sales are doing so well they need more reps

Classic empire building, aka politics.

Outsider here.

You aren’t getting UHC business because your company doesn’t have a value proposition.

It's all about age discrimination....hire young and cheap and fire those with experience making higher pay.

Corporate America. Same everywhere.

It is not the same everywhere. This is how pharma operated in the late 90s through the mid 2000's
Operating this way is in EC's genes.

This has nothing to do with age and everything to do with performance. Competition in the ranks raises everyone's productivity and then we will weed out the weak links and set the new dream team in motion. Give it your all and best of luck, son. Only the best of the best will make the final cut.

Hope this helps.

I agree to some extent that age discrimination is fairly common, but at DGX it is an art form. They have an SOP to try and get around it.

Why pay someone $2 when can get it done for $1
Human capital is NOT appreciated as much as we would like in an advance civilization

How nice that AOC has chimed in on this subject. Listen missy, if you hate poverty so much, you should love capitalism. Capitalism has lifted billions of tortured souls out of it. This is probably not a good forum for you. This is a place for marketing executives in the clinical lab industry in the United States of America and God, Country, Family and Quest Diagnostics is our motto. Perhaps you and Bernie can take a field trip to Venezuela and then report back to us. Hope this helps.

The UHC contract has saved our company.

They have been and always will be hiring since so many people come and go on a regular basis.
