What has happened to this place. This used to be the prestigious, place to be, organization. Now everyone is out to get one another. This place has turned into a drama fest as seen at the local high school. Looking at the stock price, seems the wheels have fallen off. Leadership reputation at an all time low. Wonder if Genetech will be voted best place to work for next year?? Time will tell. Good luck and godspeed.
Sad but trueSpot on. I for one view it as what Bill A is hoping happens. He won’t have to implement another layoff as those worth their salt will seek better opportunities elsewhere and reduce the surplus population without him having to have a mass downsizing. By putting CS vs CS, only the strong suck-ups with mega territories will survive. Having left on my own last year , it was clear that I was viewed as non-essential.
Genentech is no longer a highly desirable company to work for b
I will be thrilled when the attrition starts. You stole money as people were lined up for drug. Now that the bolus is over and you stare at your APA Tool and can't understand where the business is........you look to blame others. Good luck. You stamped your feet, you whined "we didn't do this at insert company name" Now you have to go out and earn your money. You are failing. But.....But........Aetna has a step-edit. How can we sell when we have a step edit?
2018. The true sales people will come to the forefront.

in ophthalmology there are maybe 8 mega accounts meaning 8 mega territories. The amount of pressure on those CSs is high. One high performing territory can carry a whole division.
Let me guess...you’re one of those high performing territories. Your twist on things are hilarious. The mega territories are the lucky ones! They always win the awards and always make the most money.
Not even close. Not even sure why you'd think that. It isn't any better here, no real money to be made and a total joke of goal setting - one size fits all, no taking into account individual territory situations. I'm pretty sure that a top performer would not be posting on here and would be snickering on the sideline.
I agree with the other person. You’re WRONG. The same people go up on stage year after year. I’ve been here many years now and have just accepted it. Trust me, it’s not because they are a top performer (meaning they have better skills and work harder than others etc.). Many of us personally know a lot of these folks. And while it’s true that the company may rely on these territories, they always ensure they make the most money and get the top resources. The reps with the top volume territories are blessed to have them.
AGREED
The fact that senior mgmt enjoys enticing fear and intimidation through implying that what works well with one territory will work well with all shows how out of touch with reality they are. A majority of our leadership have no connection to our customers other than a superficial knowledge of who they are. Management is not making any calls on the open territories in the north east.
Please.....One thing I’ve noticed since coming to Genentech....we have the biggest crybaby losers. To be honest we are so liberal here I’m actually surprised they don’t give in and just give you participation trophies. Always excuses...the best reps not territories win year after year...put me in any other territory and within 2 yrs I’ll be walking across the stage or be dam close. Difference is I find a way to win, I sell, I utilize every resource and I find away to see my customers. I’ve done it at every company my entire career and that includes outside the pharma industry.
Quit bitching get to work and make it happen. Maybe you can unseat me next year...difference between us of course is I’ll work even harder to make it the next year.

Now let’s all vomit now
And more good people making an exit while the problem children stay.Folks, can’t you see, this is the new Bill A “BOLD” Genentech. Everyone tear everyone else down, belittle and demoralize, ridicule and slander each other. All with the goal of driving business growth. In the end, it will lead to unethical behavior and eventually a CIA.
And more good people making an exit while the problem children stay.

Funny...not one person that is “good” has left. Sorry but all very replaceable. For the most part our MS division is composed of rejects of the industry. The good people won5 leave because it’s so easy to shine. And the money is great
