Oncology resignations to come

Excellent synopsis.
Pharma has been an inverted pyramid for a long time. It’s simply being crushed by its own weight.
Formularies have also had a big influence on our demise. Years ago, me too’s kept many companies going until they hit a big one. Formularies have diminished the use of me too’s to a minimum with generics and restrictions based more on price than efficacy. But, the industry brought this on itself with their price gouging in the US and giving drugs away in foreign countries.
Then came “mergers” aka the cannibalization of Pharma, reducing competition among companies. In the next ten years, Pharma will be a shadow of what it once was.

I am looking forward to accepting my awards and accolades at the Jax meeting . I am the top dog in the division and will enjoy the deserved attention. The cream always rises to the top!

Seriously, not many people are going to resign this gig. Pharmaceutical sales is a shell of its former self and there are not that many positions available while there are numerous displaced people looking.

The position is dying a slow death. Reps in the 70’s used to predict the end of the line, they were correct they just missed the timing. They didn’t account for the self preservation of a bloated middle layer of management that would squeeze what little life is left from their roles.

There are jobs available but they are not numerous. Over the next several years we will watch the continued demise of this position as health care delivery continues to evolve and the sphere of influence continues to erode. Eventually you will have a couple company representatives in each metropolitan area or state while companies rely on contract sales groups which they can easily adjust to market conditions.

The huge overpaid layers of managers and bungling marketing managers will slowly erode over the next few years while sales will continue to be displaced every 18 months or so. It’s not unique to Merck, every pharmaceutical company is doing the same thing. Talk to your friends at Pfizer, Lilly, Sanofi——-or Timney at Purdue (sorry, could not resist).

Most have continued to do this job because we don’t do much and we are very well compensated. If your being honest with yourself (this is tough for you folks with an inflated sense of importance) fully half of your activity is made up BS to allow you to meet marketing metrics. Actual activity is minimal and most of that is spent chit chatting with nursing staff. We don’t really do much and our ability to influence in a manner that impacts results is almost non existent. At best we provide a reminder of our product which does have some impact. I know someone will respond with how impactful they are and marketing will explain they have invested millions in research and providers want to hear “xyz”. It’s all garbage and Merck knows it. So do the senior managers at every other big pharma company which is why slowly the position will resemble that of a Blockbuster store manager

Well said. Our days are numbered. There are so many people in denial.

And it has the most fat content. Crow while you can, asshole ; but stop the boasting. Remember, be nice to people when your on the way up because they’ll kill you on your inevitable way down. And turds like you will definitely be headed down.

And you’re thumb will be stuck in your ass. You’re a legend in your own mind.
Just remember to suck your other thumb when you get back to your table.
Let’s see how long you produce. Bet you’re a one trick pony.

How I enjoy observing the moronic asses in this group pull out their very limited psych. As mentioned previously there are ONLY three producers in the division with myself always the pyramids peak.
Envy is appreciated!

If you can pass the audition you may get a chance. However the criteria are very tight and it you are in the Merck closet your chance is slim to none.

I understand that the limit to many employees jobs has come to an end. The cuts are way overdue and the house cleaning will move forward. Oncology non producers begone!

Tecentriq got some great news today.

Tecentriq, Opdivo and Keytruda. It will become a war for NSCLC patients. Unfortunately, whimpy Merck can’t compete against Genetech/Roche no matter how many reps we have in the field.
