1) You sure are a pretentious mother-fucker, and that doesn't even seem to be your worst trait, since you are an unrepentant liar as well.

2) Multiple raises so far in 2022? A year where the organization is letting 8,000 people go, the stock prices are down and the product the company spent $9.5B on is already an unqualified failure? Sure thing Ace . . .

3) You can take your "top-ten M.B.A. (I'll correct your grammar errors free of charge)" and go anywhere, yet you stay with an organization that is in a complete death-spiral. How magnanimous of you to stick around and right the ship . . .

4) Lifecycle management? You really think that understanding patent-life and spacing molecule development requires an advanced-degree? That is known as over-compensation . . . a community college dropout could figure that out after 30 minutes of training.

5) Why don't you put your "top-ten M.B.A." to good use and conduct a seminar on overpaying when purchasing a company. You think they paid market-value for the Medicines Company? If you do you are the only one clinging to that insane opinion.

6) Last one - why is it that you home-office types keep showing up in the reps' cars? Is it so you can bring your framed copy of your "top ten M.B.A." and force us to listen to you pat yourself on the back? Is it because you think you can do our jobs better?
Here's a thought - stick to hanging out in your office and surfing the Linkedin want-ads. You are as valueless as you are ignorant.
Here’s a thought, if you are going to correct grammatical errors in your melancholic blabber, you should learn how to correctly use an ellipsis and hyphen … overuse does not make you seem smart. You seem to be angry. It must be because of your low score on the GMAT. This is an anonymous site. Do not become upset because your arrogance has led you to believe that you are making more money than most home office people. You may be, but it damaged your ego when I put my pay out there.

Here’s another reason that reps are not taken seriously, “community college dropout could figure that out after 30 minutes of training.” Between our two positions, we both know the job for which a high school equivalency certificate qualifies someone. Here’s a thought, stupid, it is not mine. I can easily do your job, and your facile explanation of lifecycle management indicates that you would be ineffectual at mine. Your idiotic hyperbole shows that you’re out of your league in a battle of wits. Good luck on winning your team’s Q1 “Hustler Award.” I have heard that it is worth a $10K raise in your next waitstaff … rep job.

Take care, kiddo. Enjoy eating that Subway in your car today.
 




You have no clue about how much most people make within home office. You do know that field sales is the most often laid off, told when/how to work, told what to say, not trusted to think on their own, incessantly petulant, knows little about their own territories and this industry, etc

Oh my word, field sales people and Home Office people pulling them out and measuring. I know Café Pharma is going to have some childish garbage but seriously?
 








Thanks for sharing. I’m above a 1/4 million just by rolling out of the bed. That does not include bonus and equity. Plus, I’ve gotten numerous raises in 2022. You aren’t making real money, but it’s cute that you believe you are. Also, I’m guessing that you’re probably 5-10 years my senior. That’s how it works when you get 3% yearly and have to switch companies for a significant pay increase.

Your skills are transferable, but there are not a lot of companies searching for people that have “efficient at checking lunch calendar for open appointments” on their resume. I can take my top 10 mba and go wherever I would like. That’s the difference between real career growth and a rep job. Let us know when you want to progress in your career. We’ll teach you lifecycle management. See if you can get started on modeling with Training the Street.

This is disgusting. Only people that lack humility HAVE to mention that they have an MBA….not only that, from a “top 10 school”…

I’ve surpassed you in your “MBA” and you don’t see me out here flashing my credentials you clown.

What a waste of an MBA...
Why spend all of the $$$ and time to work in pharma. Anyone with a HS diploma can do this job.
 




With the way universities have lowered their standards, admission criteria (yes even for those top ten schools - heard of covid? No gmat required for entry into mba program) and online bullshit option, high schools giving college credit for higher level classes so kids already go into college with credit for classes - much much much easier to get an advanced degree than ever before. Please stop thinking you are above everyone else

Did you, moron? You have no idea of who I am or my credentials, yet you presume to have "surpassed" me. Your Capella diploma is not impressive. So much for your humility, jackass.

Those programs won't get you into JUMP. I laud your attempt to lessen how much a real MBA impacts your career

This is hysterical. Talk about not being able to see the forest through the trees. You exude insecurity and I just have to hope you’re a troll and not really this stupid. “Real career growth”? Who wants that? The wealthiest people i have met in the pharmaceutical industry are reps not home office employees. Yes there are some dumb asses among us, but there are also very educated and intelligent people who literally beat the system. I own almost 20 buildings (self-made) and could literally retire now at a young age with millions. Many reps have done this. Others simply choose the rep job because of the flexibility and autonomy. In many cases folks choose to stay reps because their spouse is wealthy and there’s no need for “real career growth”. What a small minded post.

Makes sense. There's nothing that screams " I'm successful and wealthy" like being a peon when you "could literally retire now at a young age with millions." More stupidity from a rep
 




All of this sh*t talking is quite boring. Nobody cares.

Now on to something interesting… how bad were the oncology management cuts today? Anyone have specifics on numbers and who was cut/retained?
