Pulling reps out of field





















Georgia and Florida is on fire! Don’t plan on going into the field until vaccines are out. Until then, I will lie about virtual calls etc.

Fool yourself. If your counterparts are making calls on HCPS or the other selling teams are making live calls, you will be in the minority and may end up on the sidelines. You’ll act surprised that you lost your job, place blame elsewhere like others shown the door, but don’t be fooled, your counterparts will know and your manager may be the last to know, but your days will be limited. No time for loafing, we have too much to do to catch up for having been paid for 12 weeks while business suffered.

Okay manager who will be doing virtual coaching
 




Every person who had any type of procedure scheduled during the quarantine (colonoscopy, bone scan, cataract & lasik surgery,dermatological procedure etc) is now going in for that procedure and they have to have a Covid 19 test done, due to new protocol.
As a result, thousands of people are being tested who would not have been before. This huge increase in testing is uncovering new cases, not deaths. One reason why the cases are so high. You had 3 months of backlog on procedures of all kinds. Now they are being done with testing. More testing = more cases, even though people might be asymptomatic and feel fine.

I concur, great post!
 








I’d rather get my medical advice from the CDC or my state medical experts!! Just because you try to craft a justification doesn’t mean it’s true! What you are peddling and what the experts are saying are exact opposite. People...Please don’t get your medical advice or Information from Cafe pharma. That’s why it’s called a medical license. Your two weeks of home study training doesn’t qualify you to give Medical ADVICE during a GLOBAL PANDEMIC! Your opinion is like everyone else’s.....#listen to medical experts & evidence based science. Be safe

While your post is OK, don't preach to me.
 








Being one of the first companies back in the field it doesn’t surprise me that there hasn’t been any discussion about pulling reps back. I know Amgen and Abbvie have pulled back on a state by state basis. Many other companies are still working from home. The state I live in is having record numbers and the company has been silent. To add insult to injury I have two DM field rides in my July calendar. The one thing I’ve notice since being back in the field is that keeping a distance has been near impossible, especially at lunches.
 




DSMs need to stay home as we try to re-engage with our offices. Having them in the field with us will only piss off the few accessible offices remaining. This is a total lack of awareness.
