Listening to both sides of this debate, makes me soooo glad I got out of pharma.
I have always found the righteous indignation of either DMs or reps. on here to be comical. You guys all know your job is pointless, reps and DMs alike. And because of this insecurity, everyone has a pissing match on cafepharma.
If you guys are as good as you think you are, come play with the big boys and girls in medical device. I love it. You will too.
And I say this as a former drug rep where my manager hated me because he thought I was lazy. He tried repeatedly to get rid of me. What he didn't seem to figure out is that I was lazy because in pharma, I knew the job was a total wank and I was just hopping on the pharma wagon as a life preserver. It was very hard for me take him or the job seriously after every point of my day was analyzed on a weekly report. I remember laughing in his face one day when my call average was off by something like .1 call a week. This wasn't Novartis, but still...
Come on guys. If this is truly sales, like so many of you insist it is *cough* then go out there, placate your DM, and sell sell sell.
