How are reps still in the field?!

Amarin already asks reps to take vacation days if they’re sick and now they expect reps to conduct business as usual in the midst of a global pandemic. As an organization working in healthcare you would think that they might understand why the doctor’s they call on might not want to see people who are probably the biggest potential transmitters of COVID given their office to office objectives. Yet the company is ignoring the rest of the industry who pulled reps from the field today and instead sending an update basically telling reps to wash their hands. Very sad commentary on how they see their employees.

I have heard some companies have pulled reps too.
 












Quit bitching and get out there. You’re being a wuss.

Surely you just? My family and myself are more important to me. I not taking vacation days and I'm not working. I'm diabetic.... you think the company wants to go to court over this..... ask someone in HR.... I did!!! And most other companies have pulled reps.... but most offices have stopped us from going in anyway....

Obviously this is beyond idiotic - maybe we can nuke the virus, right?

But sticking to the point, put yourself in the shoes of the doctors. We will reach a point where our presence in or around their offices does far more harm than good, which is to say that the right business decision is to stay out of their way. It only gets magnified when suddenly Amarin’s Vascepa reps are the only ones still coming around. These decisions don’t happen in a vacuum and it’s hard to preach patient-centricity while very much putting patient lives in jeopardy with our mere presence (after all, aren’t we supposed to believe the science that suggests we have to back off for a bit?)
 






This company is a joke. My friends at other companies have all had teleconferences and conversations with their managers about all of this and putting potential plans in place. We get a pathetic email telling us to use our PTO if we get sick... Are you kidding me?? This company has showed its true colors and they suck. Not to mention the fact, that the drug is a total loser...
 












Wow, so happy I left Amarin. They never did care about their employees, but now it’s obvious they don’t care about patients either. Telling you guys to use your PTO is ridiculous

Because people should be paid for not working. You're a clown. There is no government mandate stating that people should not work. Therefore, it is at the discretion of the employer. Screw you, turtledove.

That's not the point asshat. The point is, other companies are laying out options and are actually proactively communicating with the field force. Amarin is totally dropping the ball on this.

What in the hell does a government mandate have to do with a company doing the right things by their employees?? Screw you.

You're a rep. You bemoan any type of a logical thought process. Go fuck yourself. You're in over your head, loser. We made our decision. Live with it, or quit. Your job will not go unfilled for long.

It’s not about protecting us. We are going from office to office with elderly people in them, possibly transmitting the disease. It doesn’t look professional right now to be out there getting in the way. If Amarin cared about patients like they claim, they’d do the right thing and follow suit

Same to you dumbass.

Cmon you lazy asses. Get your lazy asses out there. I'm a rep for a nutracutical company (make over 200k a year) and i'm still banging down doors. Your stock price would go up if you script counts would go up. It sounds like their is absolutely no drive in your sales force. Very Sad.
 












JB's "completely sensitive" emails will make jurors cringe when they are offered as evidence in Amarin's trial for endangering employees and their family members, customers, basically the entire patient population, during a pandemic (in JB's own words, mere "distractions").

Be safe in the slammer JB! There's a chance no one on the jury will have been touched, in some way, by the virus and you can plea insanity...or maybe it's dementia?
