To protect the financial support of my family - - - I will work everyday of the week. Nothing is more important than my wife and three kids! So whine all you want!! I will have a well paying job!!
You are both, noble and naive. Here's the reality of other Pharma companies:
1. 10-15% more on your base
2. Goal attainments tied to realistic expectations where true performance is rewarded
3. Stretch goals that are paid out on and not recinded after the fact by the VP
4. Cars that get nicer, not worse as you get promoted
5. Not constantly micromanaged by the top
6. Having my opinion matter and not told "shut up and be thankful for your job"
7. Attend meetings where they let employees have free time after hard work
8. Stock awards at the rep level
9. Have a real pipeline of future products
10. Be recognized in biz journals as one of the best places to work
11. Have a CEO who is respected
Imagine, all of this and NOT have to travel on Saturday or work on Sunday.
Aim higher Sporto, you may impress yourself.
