Honestly? My advice? Spend an afternoon in a soup kitchen serving others. Or at a downtown YMCA. Maybe spend a morning down at the employment office looking at the freshly scrubbed, earnest faces -- 100 yards deep in line -- and know that nobody's going to hire them.
Then, go get in your air-conditioned company car. Check your pay statement and your checking account. Look at your beautiful house. Go have lunch paid for by your office caterer.
But please. Don't talk to me about morale.

Really your Morale is low? And you came to this board to ask what to do? ok here is my advise...get a job that does not require that you have any self esteem or motivation to do anything but gripe about this being a company problem...my sales are going fine and if they were not i still consider it better than sitting in a fox hole waiting to have my arse shot off!!!
sorry for the rant, but if this is your example of low morale you have had a very easy life.
Forest has lost it's focus on what's most important..taking care of the people that make this company. I've been here for almost 10 years and never have I seen more bullshit. The DMs are terrible, the support has been lost. I have lost all confidence I'm this company.
thanks cakeboy-go sprinkle your marble crumbs on some putz's carpet
what does that mean exactly, if you are in anyway making fun of an ex military person in this company i will find you.

I totally agree! Forest has lost sight of the people and only care about what Wall Street thinks of them. And the DM's are so afraid of the RD's that they preach 12 calls/day with 80% sampling...sounds like they only care about quantity instead of quality. Here's to the good 'ol Celexa/Lexapro days!
Nobody wants to be at our POA or launch meetings anymore - not even the DM's. This company is moving in a clearly different direction, and chances are very good that you or I won't be involved in that change. Our team decided a very long time ago to dust off the resume and do some real work - network. It's sad when our daily communication is not asking, "How'd your call with Dr. X go...but - how'd your interview go?" Instead of competing against the nation for market share, we're competing against each other for other local jobs.
My advice to you is to raise you hand and participate the first day of the launch, and then follow up with your recruiter during the breaks - it's time much better spent and you won't get harrassed by your DM for not being involved. Because let's be serious, Forest doesn't give a crap what you have to offer.
Probably the most realistic thing going on out in the field today - hit it right on the head!!!Nice post!
This meeting sucks ass. What a waste of money for the company and us!!
