Oncology being micromanaged to death

Are you joking? We sell and earn much more for Merck than we are paid. We are made to feel like we don’t matter, but sales would tank if we weren’t out there doing our jobs. Doctors have other choices for treatment other than our products. We have to share outcomes that show where it is appropriate to use our products, and where it is not. Then we have competition doing the same. If we weren’t out there the doctors will be more likely to go with other products which are appropriate for treatment that they have seen outcome data for.

What choice is that? Opdivio? You think doctors can’t read outcome data?

You can't imagine the amount of micromanaging that needs to occur in this division. Vast number of reps and management out of their educational zone with meager knowledge of disease, genetics or market understanding. Large number need removed for incompetence.

Happy to hear from UG that the downsizing of the unit will take place shortly way overdue but certainty welcomed
 




When the job no longer exists because the golden goose has been bludgeoned to death, in large part, by overzealous nitwit managers crawling up another despondent customer’s ass you’ve got big problems. Fact is pharmaceutical managers today are really only needed for clerical process oriented tasks that any drop out from the Iowa School for Secretarial Training could handle quite easily (and much cheaper) But being that many of these so called “team leaders” are nothing more than self absorbed, insecure idiots, they are compelled to inject some sort of meaning and importance into their stupid position, and in doing so, destroy the last bit of tolerance and access that still remains with customers. Physicians who would rather stick an ice pick into their ears than listen to another canned pharma message from a pair of finely dressed tweedl dees and tweedel dumbs should be cause for someone running this industry to finally stand up and take notice, and put an end to this insanity before it implodes completely!
 




All jobs are bull shit and you should know that by now. If you don't like the BS you can quit and later you will not have the micromanagement problems. You will have a bigger one. For example you won't be able to have shelter, you won't have food and you may not have clothes to wear. You have to decide. Put up with the BS here or put up with the BS at another company or the other alternatives.

That is life and it can't just be wishes away. By the way management never cares about the employees anyway. Good luck in you decision.

Be certain that we don't give any value to you or your ilk. Useless vermin!

Great points but it will never implode completely or implode at all for that matter...At the end of the day, people

will gladly take Merck's pills, potions, and jabs, thinking that they may squeeze another day, month or year out of their lives...Big pharma has them just as brainwashed as their employees are...The bottom line is that the public is getting fleeced, so that Merck managers and executives can have insanely good salaries, benefits and lifestyles, regardless of the damage their poisons may cause...Of course, the doctors don't want to see reps, and especially not managers...pharma people come off like mind controlled idiots (in nice suits) and the doctors are secretly laughing at them and making jokes about them at cocktail parties.

You haven't been micromanaged that hard until you have had Thomas L. Lyon III smothering your region like a North Korean dictator. Constant teleconferences, workshops, special projects, several pages of quarterly business plans, and creating an environment where reps are backstabbing each other to stay Lyon's good side.

Is Tom Lyons still at Merck? And still managing people? Yikes.
 








Each territory will be one up others terminated. A major retraining of those remaining with a eight week duration at a national location. All indications handled by the single rep. Those that can't cope will also be eliminated
 




Merck Oncology now allows for a 2 day work week since we are now 8 up in a territory with sleeves, an OSKAM, a Nurse Educator, a Reimbursement Associate, AZ counterparts, a Reimbursement Manager, a CTL, an OMAD, an HSOMAD, an NAE , a specialist in bio-marker testing, DCO’s, a field trainer and a group of marketing talking heads that always want to tag along in the field because they can't stand to be around the leadership morons, and BC. Did I get all the stakeholders who want to glad hand all the customers?... Those customers who don't really even want to see one rep..... Oh shit, I forgot Managed Care pajama champions...
