Managers answer this please

Please tell me how someone with just a few years (less than 3) pharma experience, this being their only pharma gig, gets chosen for several roles /special assignments reporting directly to the RBD? Tenure and experience does not seem to factor into selection criteria for promotions, special assignments, etc— it appears instead to be a detriment for selection. What exactly is the selection criteria you are using? It’s only fair that you post the criteria you are basing these decisions on. If not, many may assume age discrimination. Which many of us are assuming that.

Great question!

Maybe because they are more talented and motivated than you and actually sought out these extra things in order to advance their career? Not knowing anything beyond your post, that is my hunch.

Yesssss! I find most of these “career Pharma reps” have zero emotional intelligence and lack the ability to relate to clinicians therefore useless
 




In most cases, pharma advancement is mostly a popularity contest rather than who’s best for the role. Not always, but it’s the gold standard.

Reps act like children because they’re treated like children. It’s not the gig it used to be for sure. If advancement is the goal, keep moving and don’t stay too long in any role.

I think each territory is different. Our manager prefers males. He promotes males to the committees and councils that will get you noticed for promotion. Despite 3 females in the district that are high performers requesting these roles.

I know exactly who this manager is! He even promoted a new rehire to a leadership role over the 4 females in his district.

The “not knowing anything” is a correct statement. Your “hunch” is incorrect but nice try pom pom waiver.

So, let’s explore this a little bit more in detail. How many managers do you actually know well enough to make a broad, sweeping statement about all managers? And, what exactly is the connection between a big ego and sucking up to someone? What does that look like in action? And, are you really saying all managers are useless? I know 5 years in a super long time that apparently makes you an expert in other people’s jobs, but I’d love to hear more.
