Ignoring the resurgence...

























I guess Harbour or Hornblower haven’t got the message that Florida Covid cases are out of control. How in the world do they still let these FLL conduct field rides? They are so insensitive to what our providers and Puds are going through. The last thing they want is my manager and me pushing a coco-sob on them. I know we have a job to do, but they need to ease up and let us do it appropriately.
 


















Hopefully someone reading this will help us keep our FLL’s out of our offices in Florida. It’s terrible what’s going on. We have primary care docs doing daily rounds at the hospital to help out. But still my FLL feels the need to have a field ride.

Managers, regional managers and national directors out riding with reps, flying all over the country. How tone deaf can you be?

It’s because they realize the company doesn’t need them so they justify their job by working with reps then taking credit for the success. The sales force should always be the highest paid group at any company not paper pushers that supposedly coach, ridiculous concept. Every pharma company could eliminate 75% of the so called managers and sales wouldn’t suffer one dime.
 




































Do not forget that during the pandemic GSK was the LAST to take their reps out of the field and then the FIRST to tell them to go back in. They do not care about you, or your health, or the health of your family. Neither do the bunch brainless, groupthink, zero talent managers that only follow orders and do what they are told. There is no such thing as a leader at GSK at any level or any capacity and everyone knows it. There is definitely a resurgence out there and you don't want to get sick. Push back. Communicate your fear and the potential health impacts. Demand virtual work. Heck there are many companies that still don't make their employees go to the office let alone go into sick corona virus filled primary care and pulmonology offices. Be smart. Document everything. Put in minimal work and still get paid. Don't let your pathetic manager scare you. Laugh behind their backs while you still collect a paycheck. They will have to put in a lot of work to get rid of you and then your severance will appear. It's about you and your families health and well being. Another layoff is coming before the split and then GSK will be ripe for the taking in 2022 and then you may not get a severance or it may be reduced. Companies have no obligation to provide a severance and they just rather make you miserable so you walk away or try to scare you out. Force their hand and make them give it to you now. Play chess while these clowns forever play checkers.

While a lot of what you say is true, I actually prefer being in the field and seeing my customers as opposed to sitting at home. Agree with the fact that leadership obviously only cares about themselves but for those of us that have been around a while it’s nothing new. If it all comes down, so be it. Hopefully everyone has been saving and investing in the right places so it isn’t a big deal
 






I am fully vaccinated and NOT worried about being in the field. The problem I have is my Florida FLL is still pushing to be in the field with our team. It’s hard enough getting in these offices myself right now, much less bringing my manager with me. And Deb and Harbour still allow this to go on which is not good for business. I appreciate Harbour’s voicemails for safety concerns, but let us sell, do what’s right for our business and please keep these FLL at home.

You wanna be in the field but not have your manager with you? lol. Wishful thinking. You are the child and your manager is the teenage babysitter. Yes, its a completely outdated foundational model that justifies a useless managers job but this is how its been for the past 30 years. Take your little coco, sob, cbc feedback like a good little reppie. Its all so comical and low level. The most embarrassing thing is that everyone talks it up on conference calls and regional meetings. "I had such a great call with dr jones, I opened the call, said this and that, and then closed hard." No you didn't!! The dr signed your iPad and you left. Integrity is low all around. Next thing you know will have a 20 something year old 'marketing manager' with a political science degree come out and give you feedback. lol
 






FLL here, I agree with the post about us not being in the field right now- seems a little inappropriate.
FLL’s want to do well just like you and sometimes don’t know how to contribute so they think they need to see you in action.
Be proactive and share what you are doing with Customers and how you are selling but be honest because it’s easy to tell if it’s a lie and then you lose trust.
Being proactive with your FLL will make a difference and maybe keep them out if your car.
