By now you may have heard that Amizta got loose and knocked up the doctor’s dog. She had her litter shortly after our golf round and lunch of Chinese food. Love me some crab Rangoon! Any way, being a responsible pet owner and quite aware of the troubles unwed mothers face due to my experience at the women’s shelter thrift shop, I have decided to adopt a cute pup, her name is Faexiga!

today some companies have their (field) employee issued electronic devices (and/or company cars) send time stamped GPS location data (unbeknownst to the field employee) which get washed thru a program to compare it to what the rep reports for that time/day

If you can’t figure out how to shut off the tracking in your iPad then you probably need to consider being a Subway Sandwich Artist.

you are 100% correct on everything you say. I long ago came to the same conclusion. However I'm over 40 and know I can't duplicate my 100K plus salary anywhere else. So I play the game. I give them the metrics that they ask for. I show a positive attitude at meetings. I talk business all the time when with the DM. I get my paperwork in on time. I never lie on my expense report. I never leave my house late or come home early. I hide in my territory in places like starbucks or Panera. It's all a game. I'm not proud but I came to the conclusion years ago this is just a job. A very well paying job with lots of freedom. I gain personal satisfaction with things outside of work. My volunteer activities and stuff with my family. If I wanted to save the world I'd join the peacecorps or be a social worker. Screw that...this is just a job and I couldn't care less about a career. I'm happy and at peace unfortunately you're not.

Are you still with AZ? You hit the nail on the head with this. Best Cafepharma post ever.

This is it, right here. This is exactly how I feel. Just a job, 401K max, car, healthcare. I admit, lucky to have this cush job that many would kill for.
 






The “Lake” is now over 20 years old! And yet, I remember it well! 20 years later I am still in this industry. I will be going soon! The 401k god has blessed me well.

Thank you that I have survived this stress and my body and my mind are still intact…

Goodbye little electric car that was mostly useless for the vast majority of America.

I won’t miss you.

The “Lake” beckons.

“Wheels” search the lake, it knows all…

Congrats on surviving as long as you did...I survived the latest cuts but unfortunately need a few more years...But to be honest...as crazy as this gig has become with the primary care micro BS that the brass seems to embrace so much even though its useless and actually hurts our ability to actually see our customers...it's still a great "job". I have many colleagues my age that are in brick and mortars all day or have been unceremoniously "let go" with zero severance...I think many in our industry have absolutely no idea how fortunate they are to be doing this for a living. Have an awesome retirement. But don't just sit by the lake...go experience life!!

"Job" what a joke, you sloths eat on your face and sit in cars with sandwich platters and listen to the rock music. I see it in the lots outside, plus you make us all sick with your fancy pants

And there you have it field folks. This is what HQ really thinks of you. New Year's resolution is to work even less. Let them eat cake. After all, that is their attitude towards us.
