Nominations for worst manager at Novartis

[anonymous]

My manager has no life outside work. I think he genuinely thinks ride days are a social outing. The chance to interact with people so he can show off what a good “sales” person he is. The customers have referred to him as “that guy” you bring in here. He brings no value. Makes everyone uncomfortable and then I have to go back a week later apologizing to offices for his aggressive sales tactics. When he’s with me I make a fraction of the calls because we spend so much time pre call planning and role playing for offices I’ve been calling on for several years just so this self serving Jack ass can feel like he’s coaching me. It’s the biggest sham going to pay these managers salaries for the little they really do. However, the same can be said for reps too lol. We reps are glorified caterers and fedex people but managers are glorified babysitters. The whole industry is a joke. *sighs while collecting next oaycheck*

sounds like a real LOOSER

Everyone laughs at you, and you have to live with that.
Your reps want nothing to do with you.
The accounts make fun of you and have no idea why you are there.
From the time you leave the house in the morning until you make it home (maybe), nobody has any use for you.
You're a joke. You are only good for unironic humor.
You'll get your field days because the only thing Novartis knows how to pioneer is new and innovative ways to get put on a C.I.A.
Enjoy your time sitting in a car with people who don't want you around and adding zero value. Must be a great way to pay the bills.I

yep, a real LOOSER

Funny pissing match between whose job is more worthless and stupid, rep or mgr? I’ve been both. Hated both jobs. The correct answer is both are overpaid and numbingly mindless. Everyone go back to your corners and just take the checks while you can.

both parties are LOOSERS

Yeah but your wife is getting banged in the ass by everyone in the neighborhood. That extra equity will be used for her alimony payments.

A HCP realized last week that he sees my ABL more than his own grown children who live in his town. LOL

My docs think my ABL is my partner. Novartis is too stupid too stupid all the field rides. Why do the ABS program if you really don't want to be on the customers agenda.

I had one ask me if I was in trouble or something. He knew I’ve been a rep for over 20 years and wanted to know why my manager rides with me “every day.” Of course he doesn’t, but it’s so much it seems that way to my 45 targets I can see.

ABLs are a fraud and steal their pay checks from the company. They bring zero value to anyone. Well I guess they are needed to approve expensive reports and forward useless emails. Go figure!

Agree!!the amount of money the company could save by getting rid of half of them and then doubling their reps… it’s time to get w the times! If you really care about Account based selling- you all would recognize that you are a nuisance and bring zero value in the field. The accounts don’t want you in their offices- we have to beg for us to allow them in or go back in the day after you are w us and apologize

You say you have to beg for time, but you want them to double the number of reps?

I agree completely with the manager pushback, as the industry outgrew that role at least a decade ago. You could hire an H.R. part-timer to send out calender invites and approve expense reports. I'm not sure why nobody does anything about it, as it is clear as day to everyone at this point.

That said, doubling the number of reps is even more insane. What would they do when they got here? Do you really want a second Leqvio-lead team? Entresto will be generic a year from today, so why would you want more reps selling it?

We need to have at least the same amount of voice as Amgen.

not doubling the number of reps! Getting rid of half the ABL’s so that each ABL has double the number of reps they manage
