If on Warning Letter, Should your Resign?

[Anonymous]

Definitely hire an attorney! It will help. BMS is getting threatened for lawsuits all over the country for age and gender discrimination.

So my boss drops the WW in my lap and then basically walks away like it's no big deal. Talk about denial. Well, I guess my manager is thinking better my rep than me. Ha! Ha! It's gonna be fun with all the extra ride alongs and role plays and paperwork. Boy if this was 5 years ago, I'd have found another job by now but in this economy and Pharma being the way it is, I'm fucked. That's ok, at least my manager is sleeping well at night. I'll keep you up to date on what valuable coaching and guidance my manager gives me. Don't feel bad for me, I made my bed staying in Pharma too long. What other cushy job pays you a juicy salary! Now, I'm gonna pay the price. Bring it on!!!

Should I stay or should I go....da da da da da da da da.Great song by the CLASH....now as for you......go (unless a big severence package is involved) Good reps are a dime a dozen and BMS doesn't need half of what they have........won't need many soon if they don't get some products

Face the music, pharma is the last non-job that pays well. Go get an adult job where you actually have to do something for reasonable pay. Or just get on the government dole, Obama will take care of you.

The plan is to get a real job where real work is done and paid for. Tough ecnomy though and with only pharma sales as experience it looks like it's back to school or an unpaid internship if I can't snatch one from a desperate college grad.

I don't know where in BMS you are talking about, but that has not been my experience. As a result of my completely cool aid drinking dbm, as well as a big rural territory, I found myself working 10 to 12 hours per day, when you consider all the job tasks that ended up having to be done outside of the normal 8 to 5 work hours.

If you consider the completion of expense reports, sample administration, answering mountains of email, completion of tracking reports and business plans, development of A to B shifts, etc., to not be WORK, BMS is the place for you!

12 hours a day? Are you kidding me? The only time I work 12 hours is when I have to attend a POA or District meeting --- now that's work.

You prove the point, all the things you list are busy work, not true sales.

There was no negotiation, but on the phone call the HR lady simply stated that I "did get" 56 weeks severance. I assume you are asking about retiree health insurance, and yes, I have retiree insurance with the rule of 85, but it doesn't do much good, since BMS doesn't take care of their retirees anymore and the premiums are through the roof. Remember, I was not terminated for performance, which they said was OK, but rather over "BMS behaviors". I was not ranked near the bottom of the region, but just below the middle.

Nancy from NYC is it? Probably because you have been fired recently.Hey here's a thought...maybe if you worked a little you wouldn't have been fired. And maybe, just maybe, if you stopped trying to sleep with reps in the company and from other companies and paid attention to your job, you would still have one.

Wrong, not from NYC; about 2000 miles from there.

BMS gets rid of older employees

Is it because the Supreme Court upheld that it is OK to layoff older employees (is not considered age discrimination) because it is a financial decision (younger employees will take less pay)? Eliminating older employees saves the company $ in pay as well as health care costs.

I don't think (but I hope not) that is true ???
But everyone knows the policy towards "older" employees (and they get treated as "older" and older each year...each internal crisis...each "new great idea" ..each "reorganization")...is pretty disgusting and transparent.
"Sign this or get the hell out immediately"...!!
Real nice.
