Very insightful response. I was recently notified on LinedIn that a former colleague of mine was recently hired here as a RSD somewhere in SoCal. MGraham is the epitome of a primary care mentality manager. His reputation precedes him - to any reps interviewing with that disaster… you’ve been warned. Get ready for Lazy Manager 101.
