My version of 15 by 15





















































































15 Guy, I completely understand your attitude towards Merck. I share it. Where you've fallen short is that you've taken your Merck "down time" and spent it on the golf course. If you invested your time and energy into generating a new income, you'd be far better off. Of course, if you're independently wealthy or something, then your approach may be best for you.

I've taken my Merck down time and started a whole new professional existence, literally at Merck's expense. It's the smartest thing I've ever done in my professional life. It is also the greatest smack in the face that I can possibly give my soon-to-be former employer. Success is the greatest revenge! My last CTL is stumbling his pathetic way through a post-Merck existence, while I've been ready for it for quite some time.

You don't get it. This is the way he has lived his entire life. He joined Merck in the first place for the slack hours to spend golfing. He has no aptitude or attitude to do anything else. There are many, many just like him. They are called " pharmaceutical representatives." They spend their entire useless careers, catering lunches, collecting signatures then hitting the links, the mall, the pool, whatever. They have never, ever worked 8 hours or 5 days a week, and have no desire to start now. They wouldn't have any idea were to even begin. They have always been "15" ers. They just named it to try and justify and rationalize it. Good easy, no challenge gig if you can get it, or keep it. There are enablers to all this inactivity too. They are called " pharmaceutical managers." They are just as numerous and useless. That's how both survive really. It's a symbiotic relationship. A mutually exclusive inactivity club, if you will. Both groups, in the end, build nothing, have done nothing, so they leave nothing. And that is the entire point anyway. You mistake " anger" for " ambition." He, in reality has neither. And never has.

At least the 15 Guy is honest about what he does….
