Home office hell of psycho leadership

More than any other industry, lower management (DM’s and Regional Mgrs.) serve no necessary functions. The DM role is laughable. Physical rides are silly, yet nothing changes over decades. I truly believe they are as miserable as we are, yet the must play the game like we do to put food on the table.

When government pricing pressure on drugs really and seriously happens, I think the industry may have to reinvent itself. Biden and his lunatics will make it happen.
The Director of Sales, RDs and DMs defend and protect the "need" for having a salesforce, otherwise they have no jobs!!! But the entire system is at least partially responsible for fleecing America with outrageous drug prices.

It is estimated that 25 cents of every $ we spend on healthcare is either a total waste or fraud! And that does not even include ripoffs such as Nuedexta!!!!!

When you compare quality of life, longevity, infant mortality, and other health care parameters with other nations, particularly Europe, you will find that the stats in these countries look as good as, and in many countries even better and at a lower cost, compared to North America! A US physician told me he had a knee replacement done last year at a US hospital: $135,000!!! Are you kidding me? I asked him why it was so expensive. He said the hospital is charging so much because it also takes care of many people without insurance, and they need to recoup the expenses and distribute them to people who can pay, either privately or through insurance. How does this differ from "socialised medicine?????"

I remember having an Otsuka RD coming into town, really milking the company! the Son of a B had to stay at the most expensive hotel in town, the Four Seasons. Of course that was barely good enough for him! Talk about attitudes of entitlement!!! He was really good at making lives miserable for his subordinates, blaming them for things they had no control over, making sure he was "doing his job"....Fuck you, RP!!!!!

What do our execs do at the home office all day long that justifies there exorbitant salaries??? Some of them have never carried a bag, but are "know-it-alls!!!!"
 






DMs aren't much better. Mine used to stay downtown at the JW Marriott so I had to drive all the way with rush hour traffic, then turn around and fight traffic again at the end of the day.
It was close to shopping and restaurants.
Does someone not have to approve these expense reports?

You think thats bad? When I had a large territory i slept at marriotts 1-2 nights a week and ate steak lobster and cheesecakes. No one should feel bad for fleecing a company that fleeces the american people every day

Totally agree. I wonder why no manager or RSD ever posts here. I know they read the comments. Perhaps they have received a gag order from the home office. What cowards we have "leading" us.....
 






I had 2 offices over the last month tell me not to come back anymore until I have something new and valuable to tell them! Basically considered my visit a waste of their time and too self-serving. This on top of "no-see" offices. My territory is not a viable territory anymore. Too few customers, even fewer you can access, not enough to do.....I am done by Tuesday afternoon at the latest....spend the rest off the week making ups bullshit to cover my ass. What a total shit show this job has become.....

Why are you complaining?? That’s wonderful news! Of course we bring absolutely no value to docs, but who cares!!! WE GET PAID TO BRING NO VALUE! 90% of what I do is made up! Nobody cares! You have to realize it’s all just a game of survival and nothing else. How can can hound raw a check while doing no real work? Put yourself in the docs place. Would you want to see the same depressed face saying the same depressing thing day after day after day? Of course you wouldn’t!

Man, just kick back and enjoy another year of vacation and deposit those checks!
 






Youn would think that our overpaid and useless execs would be in touch with the salesforce to find out what we need.....but that would be asking too much. 25 years ago, I was with another company. Every Friday, the salesforce could talk directly with the VP of sales discussing what needs to happen to improve sales, marketing materials, ideas, incentives.... will never happen here....Our leaders don't like to be disturbed, the culture here is too parochial and our know-it-all execs are too narrow minded...Otsuka would never be where it is if it wasn't for patent protection and the ability to bleed patients financially dry....

What a way to go through life. When we are laying on our death beds asking ourselves: "What have I accomplished in my lifetime?"....We can't even come up with an answer...
 












Well, tomorrow is another exciting day of...boredom!
Can anybody tell me why we are visiting the same practitioners with the same information month after month for 5 years in a row? What is there to be gained? If the practioner hasn't written Rexulti by now, they never will. Has this job just become the art of writing fake and bullshit call notes?
 






The ONLY reason we still have jobs is because if we are gone, the execs are gone.They keep us, so THEY have jobs. You could eliminate the entire salesforce, and sales would remain the same...
 






Our execs are so stupid they wouldn't last in any other industry. The only reason they are surviving here is because our products have patent protection and we can raise prices at any time....
 






The reps keep complaining that sales has become a metrics driven hell. The irony is that leadership isn’t even qualified to read the metrics. They care more about the formatting than the data. Consultant have been laughing behind their backs at how ignorant and outdated they are. The reporting is outsourced while directors make 200-300k a year reading emails and throwing wine receptions. They run an offshore data sweatshop and still use Excel reports like it’s the 90s. Either they’re old cronies just hanging on until retirement or younger assholes who can’t manage but like being the boss of you. Analysts are bullied to spin the numbers on new useless reports so mgmt can have something to show for in their annual reviews.
I’m amazed at what this company gets away with in their metrics. I’ve seen them blame the consultants to save their own asses when cover ups got blown in reporting. IT will start throwing around a bunch technical references if mistakes are questioned because they know upper management are just pretentious idiots. After making more work just to put their names on reports, most of them don’t even open them.
The last IC screwed reps big time but most of them are gone so who’s gonna know. Home office is a shit show. Look at the turnover.

Watch out for Zsa Zsa. Heard she went psycho during the lockdown and stalked someone until they quit. I guess she couldn’t take not being center stage at meetings being fabulous.
