In the spirit of full disclosure, fair and balance ya know, I'll say upfront that I don't work for Novo. I'm an AZ guy, but I bounce around to a lot of the boards because I like to keep up on other companies. So, again upfront this is a troll post.
I've read in quite a few posts that Novo has "devalued" you guys with all of the changes in the past few years. Not quite. From an outside perspective, they "over valued" you all for a long time. That's not a bad thing, these companies should treat all of us well. The sales force brings in the money. Novo is the one company that year after year had it right with Christmas presents, great trips, good bonuses and high salaries. Here's the problem, you all believed that you were special because of that. Here's the news flash, all that stuff must have been awesome but you are not. Not elite. Not superior. Just reps like the rest of us that happened to land a good gig.
So you are spoiled. A lot of you guys are making six figure salaries just to drop samples... just like the rest of the industry. A lot of you guys have solid relationships in endo offices, umm yeah. Bringing in Panera year after year will do that. You also have great products, that doesn't hurt either. Sadly, you all let it go to your heads. Why do I say that? Look at the posts here. There is a thread first bashing the company for not sending out the regular Christmas present on time, and then another one complaining about what you ended up getting. Lol. Every other thread is blaming the new reps that are coming on board, disrespecting them when they deserve a job as much as you do.
I have kids, I hear the whining and it's all too familiar. You are babies who did not realize how good you had it. If it's over, that's a shame because I would have loved to have gotten a piece of it. For those of you that did, be humble and appreciate it for what it was and for God's sake, please try and keep that ego in check. The real world doesn't hand out t-ball trophies and participation ribbons. How deliciously sad.
