{{{{{{{{{{>>>SAN DIEGO<<<}}}}}}}}}}

My manager told me that some of our leaders are beyond nervous and not sure what is going to happen. The meeting was absurd and too intense for what we have all been put through this past year. Absolutely no down time and the offsite dinners were horrible. Everyone is completely exhausted from the day and then we have to be bused to the other side of the city!? No consideration for people that don't live on California time. I actually enjoyed building a bike for needy children, but it would have been better if we had done the team building activity later in the week versus the very night we all traveled to get there. Again no consideration. Sure, it is easy for the execs that live out there, but for people that have been traveling for hours and hours, it is a different story. There also should have been an evening on your own versus going to go get bar food. I literally told my husband that I had no idea I was in San Diego because we never got a second on our own to do anything.

I share your exact comments. Truly was the worst meeting I have ever been to.

I completely agree with all of your observations and may I add how I sprained my ankle when I got inbetween RSL and the opportunity to mug for the camera with one of those children.

Ya. Those 18 minute bus rides are arduous. Hope your husband told you to saddle up.

I definitely went to a different meeting. Bikes were cool, awards were super, info good and mgt looked pretty calm. Need to work at iPad factory to experience real hardship. Good grief.
 






My district pretty much came away with the same opinion. I think management is starting to get the reality that there will be a lower ceiling to the sales ramp. Things looked ok in October/November when there was some decent growth but there was no follow through into 2012. Flat.

Announced the trip and numbers are terrific. 100k next.

Keep telling yourself everything is fine over and over and then it is.

Bikes were cool? Bikes were a tax write-off, I'd rather spend time with my own kids.

Awards were super? Do you want to go sit on a beach with arrogant upper-managment in JUNE?

Info was good?
Westerhuizen - not to be used in field --wink, wink
Bektas - page 569 column 1 "although not currently available in the United States..."
Kahn - 5 year old trial from Saudi Arabia
Petring - 1995
Berger - 2000 Cutting edge data

Management looked calm? Huh? They won't get caught holding the bag of course they're calm.

Need to work in an iPad factory? When you got home did you return your Apple TV wifi to the Apple store and donate the $100 to Asian Tsunami relief? I live in the United friction States, I have an education and an excellent sales career, no I'll be switching companies.

Good grief? You are as gullible as hairless kid you quote.

Unfortunatley this post is pretty spot on. So many reps are looking for other jobs its not even funny. Nobody views this as a long term opportunity. As far as mgmt looking calm. How the heck would you expect them to look? This comes down to pharmacy not allowing the drug to 'take off'. Nothing we can show them will change their mind.

Excellent sales career? I guess until now. I bet you didn't graduate either. Lame post.
 












Unfortunately it wasn't a lame post. It is all true and I 100% agree with it and would bet 98% of the rest of the salesforce would as well.

Pad the numbers--98%. Throw out that number and you have no credibility. About 10-15 unhappy people which is right for a group our size. Pick it up or leave. Most of us are finding our stride so boo hoo for you.

Never a positive post. Such a watering hole for the losers.

I had to laugh. I posted that a year ago and I am no longer with the company. Thank goodness! Good luck to all!
