Managers, cancel all field rides until this is sorted

It's bad enough I can't eat or sleep wondering if I even have a job, now I have to have my manager with me for 2 days! The tension is so bad my offices can see it in my eyes and have commented asking if I am ok. Managers feel safe. Of course they can carry on as usual. I found myself Monday breaking down and crying in a parking lot of one of my offices. I have a family to help support. The holidays are coming. I can barely handle any of this uncertainty. For the love of God, please understand the last thing I want is you in my car. My only cave where i dont have to pretend to feel what I feel, Knowing you have answers that you are refusing to give. My car is where I dont have to face my kids and spouse , knowing that I may not be able to help provide in a few months. In my car I can escape after a call that I lied to an office that i will attend the lunch I booked in December.

This is my life and my children's lives you are talking about. Not some game. Showing up, smiling like nothing is wrong and ignoring the elephant in the room is not good for anyone. It's actually quite cruel and makes me question if you care about your employees. If you have been given answers and told not to say anything, fine. Stay out of the field until you can really be a partner or consultant for me. And to think, I considered you a friend. Have you no heart?

You hit the nail on the head in regards to what many reps are feeling. Great post. Any RD riding with Reps at this point is a horrible, cold, heartless jackass.

I completely agree. It would be one thing if they were coming bearing answers but if they have really been told to not share anything with us then riding with a rep right now is heartless. It's bad enough people are losing their jobs. They don't need you adding stress to the situation.

This is all you need to know. If they did care you would know it. Instead you get nothing. Analyze it any way you want but that's it. Even my manager who we trusted has showed their true colors. They are safe and they don't care any more. It's about being the corporate monkey again now.
 












I am so happy my manager cancelled my field ride. Not because I am not going to work, just the opposite, I am working harder to prevent the anxiety that is building up over this. I am happy they cancelled because I just don't want to have the big elephant in the room for 1 or 2 days that no one can talk about.
