It has only been 4 months

























The job is not what we were sold on during the interviews. Very high pressure and high level of micro management. No empowerment, just marching order after marching order. I'm starting my job search!
 












Management panicking. Constantly changing directions. Need to be patient. Lot of apathy with physicians. Pharmacy introducing drug with cost comparisons to PO and Torradol 200 X more and 15 X more respectively.

Starting to push talent away and job searching is beginning

I agree, I think half of our district is looking to get out of this mess. I don't think most people expected to make a ton of money in the first quarter, but 39,000 vials is not even remotely possible. If you do the math over 12 months that is 136 cases per month. Our entire district isn't selling that much per month. I would love to know who came up with that number.

Agreed! I came from normal 8hr days in the field to 12plus hrs. No time for family and no work/life balance. I"ve asked for evaluations, and upon followup not many see a big difference in pain control or amt of opiates needed. If this continues, they will not use anymore product.
 






Thought I was coming to a class act company, but instead left a far better job in big pharma. some formulary victories, but real world evaluations by anesthesiology is not showing much benefit. Most can't see any reductions in the narcotics they have to give in PACU. The CRNAs hate the 15min infusion time and it is a constant battle to get them to agree to try. I believe in the product, but the frustration of a narrow management mindset with no empowerment to the specialists is very taxing. Just wish management would back off a little and give us the time we need to build solid relationships needed to give the future results. The shift in tactics every 2 weeks is confusing, and demotivating.

But it worked for them at Big Pharma it has to work here in the hospital. Excuse me, I just thought of a new way to kill a cat.

This is BRILLIANT and spot on!

Anyone who comes aboard this company is nuts. Even if you are desperate.
 






Will Cadence continue to do the right thing with regard to bonus? They took away the 80% formulary. I am sure they know most of the field force is nowhere near the $40,000 bonus projected....but they can't completely readjust to less...so what will they do?

They won't be able to make up the difference in bonus because the compnay won't make enough money to pay that sum. Probably what will happen is they will have more kicker contests so at least some of the sales force can make some money and not be totally de-motivatated.
 
























I'm bailing next week. Several are going to be leaving next week. All of us are going to the same company. Watch the new job postings coming up next week. This could have been a good opportunity if there were half of us, realistic projections, and the company wasn't positioning themselves to be sold so Schroeder, Byrd, et-al will make out like bandits. Too bad what's happening. Wish me and the others luck in our new positions!
