SFM

how many reps have been “laid off”? How’s the severance since a class action is sure to be on the way!
Good question. Although, a better question may be “how many reps have been fired who had a specialty pharmacy in their geography?” My money is on zero. PhilRx came into fruition because the specialty pharmacy scheme being exposed.
That’s where the class action law suit should come in.
 




It's truly disappointing that you would be so consumed by negativity that you’d wish harm on a large group of people simply because of a personal setback. It's a sad reflection of your character and suggests a deep-seated unhappiness. Hopefully, you’ll find a way to move past this and focus on building a better future for yourself.

Enjoy your miserable life.
I’m just calling out toxic for what it is. Be disappointed all you want. I still have friends here and the job market sucks right now. My heart hurts for them.

But for any management that protected this way of doing business and went along with the cronyism by protecting reps and managers being shady as shit….well, this is called karma.

Man who refused to discipline sexist alcoholic managers not doing their jobs gets upset when “anonymously” posting to CafePharma and doesn’t find the support he thought he would
 








Very well put. Every rep I heard from about this expressed the same thoughts. People are saying they haven’t slept in days over what was done to MP. You are 100% right, his removal definitely has the attention of every rep and not in a good way. It is utter disgraceful, and has many top reps questioning if this culture they want. The reality is performers are now open to new job opportunities since this woman joined. We are talking the good reps who had no interest seeking new opportunities previously are now discussing a desire to be open to new opportunities.

I’m beginning to wonder if that is actually what they want.

On another note, SFM made people feel a bit uncomfortable with the pyramid visual in her most recent email outlining exactly who made exactly what dollar figure in bonus. Suddenly, we’re hearing a lot less about our devotion to our customers and helping their patients, and a real lot more about how many dollars are going into each of our bank accounts. That approach lacked polish, and quite frankly, it lacked intelligence. It was perceived by many as tasteless.
Tasteless and so old school pharma to show bonus paid out. She is stuck in the Purdue Pharma concept of bonus money and your numbers are all that matter. As if all territories are created equal is laughable. Screw the patients! Screw how you interact with your doctors, it’s all about the money baby! Such a dinosaur way to run a company. She will run a lot of good people off
 












Executive management is utterly indifferent to the field. Our CEO has graced us with his presence twice since launch. Not a single soul from HQ – CEO, CFO, COO, Marketing, Sales Ops, or anyone – has bothered to reach out to a top performer for feedback. This company’s policy of funneling all concerns through direct managers is a colossal bridge-burning exercise. A chasm exists between HQ and the field, and it’s a black hole. Marketing is a dumpster fire incapable of delivering essentials. Roadblocks, from the atrocious DCR process to speaker program registration, are immovable objects. Communication is a foreign concept between HQ and the field.

The recent rebate card debacle, sprung on the field through managers with a retroactive July 1st start date, is the final straw. No regard for customers, patients, or our reputations. We’re expendable numbers in a heartless machine. Unless your soul comes with a price tag, it’s time to escape this sinking ship. SFM, the embodiment of executive desires, is a cutthroat profit machine devoid of humanity. Her LinkedIn post, a how-to guide in superficial parenting, reveals the true monster beneath the southern charm. She axed the only person who cared about the field and our patients. Hell has a special place for her.
Amen!!!
 




Our leadership's failure to cultivate a positive work environment is a ticking time bomb. A toxic culture, directly attributable to upper management's actions and omissions, has poisoned our workplace with fear, distrust, and disrespect. Employees feel undervalued, disengaged, and utterly demoralized.

This toxic breeding ground is fueling an exodus of talent. As our most valuable employees feel ignored and unsupported, they're seeking better opportunities. The loss of industry knowledge, plummeting productivity, and irreparable damage to our reputation will be the catastrophic consequences of this leadership failure.

Our toxic culture is a colossal liability. It's imperative that leadership recognizes its role in this crisis and prioritizes creating a supportive, empowering environment. Unfortunately, previous opportunities to turn things around with AM and SFM were squandered, putting us on a perilous path to disaster…
 




A dearth of communication fosters a soulless culture where individuals feel isolated and undervalued. When open dialogue is stifled, empathy wanes, and connections weaken. Without the shared experiences and understanding cultivated through effective communication, a workplace can become a sterile environment devoid of human connection. In such a climate, creativity stagnates, innovation falters, and morale plummets as employees feel like interchangeable cogs in a machine rather than valued contributors. The recent events by SFM, where a beloved employee was swiftly demoted from hero to zero, starkly illustrate the consequences of such a culture. The phrase "what have you done for me lately" takes on a chilling new meaning in an environment where job security hinges on fleeting accomplishments rather than long-term contributions.
 




















It's a blatant slap in the face that SFM axed the company's most revered director while inexplicably retaining JH. This individual, let's be clear, is coasting on the laurels of MP's work. JH's reign is marked by a string of catastrophic decisions, the most disastrous was hiring SL followed by the utterly incompetent DP and CR in the Southeast. Plucked from the sterile world of big pharma with zero grasp of the complexities of our speciality. They've created a toxic environment of fear and mediocrity where innovation is stifled and employees are treated like expendable cogs. It's a damning indictment of Axsome's leadership when those who blindly follow orders and lack any semblance of originality are rewarded with promotions.

You’re right. That was exactly my point in posted this comment.

100% all of this. Letting the much-respected MP go and keeping JH (and his inept hires) killed what tiny morsel of morale there was left.
 




He is a manger that is really insignificant in the scheme of things that the same person on this board (who pretends to be multiple people) keeps posting about thinking it will mean something to the company.
can confirm no one of real significance cares about Brady or any of these Brady related posts.
