new comp plan

It's a great question...Pacer Reps are on call and have a lot of BS do deal with...but make great money. Ortho is heading downhill in a hurry and is being consolidated like nobody's business. I'd say a really good capital job might be the answer. Hard work, absolutely. But you can make Pacer money, not be on call, and focus on new business. Then it's on to the next one.

I'd be very curious to hear what everyone's thoughts are on what average/very good/great money equates to.... different salaries and comp plans aside, what ranges does "Average money", "Good money" and "Great money" include?
 












300-400 is great. Once yo take away the incentive , you are only working for the backend pension. Unless you are in managemnet with a nice 150 base with upside of another 100 , there is no reason to stay . If you are in sales you want low base high upside commission .
 






I was just displaced and decided to take severance over interviewing for another position. I have been here almost 9 years and I was capped at $150k plan. Going over plan ranged from 3%-12% which is nothing compared to before 2013. Another one of my counterparts who also got displaced had been here half the time I had and was a rep level above me and his total comp for hitting same plan was $25k more. The days of killing it in Ethicon are over (my opinion) maybe these new comp plans I hear of will be legit, but I can foresee forecasts being huge. Either way if you want a nice stable income w awful leadership while you're working on something on the side go for it!!
 












So I just finished a two day, Happy New Year field ride. Manager tells me that compensation governance in New Brunswick is not happy with our new plan and wants it scaled back. Apparently it doesn't "fit" with the other MD&D companies.

I bet the fuckers are going to either revise or make the quotas so high that they don't have to pay out. So f'ing done with the games in this place.

Wait... Last years numbers are not even finalized. You've had one day to review the new comp plan and new accounts/products and you get a field ride day two of the new year?

What kind of manager field rides with a rep the first week of the year?

Wouldn't surprise me as JNJ harmonisation involves benchmarking compensation with the lowest sum paid elsewhere.
 






So the interesting part will be how long our "leadership" will string this along before announcing it. Maybe they'll wait and get a good quarter out of us before they destroy morale. Then again, it already sucks....

did you just say blew load?
