Nominations for worst manager at Novartis









Let's talk about leaders. We all know about b.s. Mgmrs ... Typical of NVS leadership.. I.e. Do what I say shut up and ect... Who are the real leaders? Good people, good leadership... Not mgmrs.
 








I'm sure there are a lot of candidates but the MSBU manager for Buffalo/Pittsburgh has to win the award. This little See-You-N-Tee has had half her team quit, including the #1 ranked rep in the country, and the other half on performance plans. Way to be an inspiring leader. If there is any karma in this world this horrible excuse for a person will be getting hers soon enough.

She will not be "getting hers". If you don't realize by now, upper management loves her. She is getting congratulated for getting rid of all the high price, experienced reps. Gilenya is never going to gain any more market share so why keep you around when you can bring in primary care reps, pay them much less, and get the same crappy results? Trust me, the higher ups think she walks on water for driving everyone away.
 




by far the most unethical manager

Well the Buffalo/Pittsburgh manager did it again. I just learned today Pittsburgh N just lost its remaining rep. And from what I understand the rep was well over 100% to goal. This is what you get when a no-nothing pc manager comes in and rides rough shod over her employees. Matt is no better for allowing it to happen. When will this low class, insecure manager realize that relationships are sometimes more important to developing a territory than micromanagement.

Good job Novartis!

Seriously? Isn't that like 6 or 7 people who quit that team in about a year? WTF?
 








NOVARtaticulitus- the state at which managers that have never sold in the MS market attempt to tell you how your accounts think, what their concerns are, and how they should be writing their MS treatments. It's usually spotted by a dumb look, not knowing anything about MS but what marketing tells them and the inability to LISTEN to their reps on what needs to be fixed and addressed. They may also present with brown nose disease, bleeding from their rear ends and mass exodus of their reps........
 




These are the morons who said don't mention its a pill. Philly and Pitt have lost 8-9 people in the last 8 months great job clowns. It all starts at the top Matt and Conrad the two biggest jerks I have ever met.
 




This one is about division and group bozos....most of them BAD managers! Self centered and nacisistic...all about themselves - no consideration for other colleagues and their careers. Once in the inner circle they coast from 'leadership' role to 'leadership' role...most of them unqualified for the jobs they have.

Is this a case of nice guys finish last? In what management model does it fit to drive away productive, professionals who know their market and have great relationships with hard-to-see customers in a lucrative and highly-competitive market space? In what HR department is turn over regarded as inexpensive and team-building?

It is clear HR job is protect all levels of management. It is also clear HR and management is not focused on increasing profits for stakeholders. In "good" companies HR investigates complaints and acts appropriately. If they did their job there would have been consequences against Matt with the Buffalo fiasco. There would also be investigations on the massive employee turnover in some areas and very little in others. How could Pitt and Philly be in utter turmoil and many other areas be steady and productive?
 




Pitt will lose one more before August, Philly will lose three within the next four weeks. Friends in both groups and all are about to leave.....solely based on their managers. All great reps too that have been in the market space and industry for years........ Oh well, let's get that on another moonshot!

We have more turnover the Burger King. We need to stop complaining and just leave nothing will ever change. I am just waiting for Genentech so I can steal of of my Gilenya business. I really thought our new leader would be the change we needed. She has made the morale even lower.
