Shut up and just work

But hey, you're not bitter. I love how everyone assumes the op (me) is a dude. Guess I'm just lucky, cause I do have a good manager. I love my job. Come on. Stop taking yourselves so seriously. If you're that concerned about counterpart complaints then it's time to document and learn to "play well with others".

The thing is, I have something most reps don't...perspective and gratitude. Combine those nd life isn't so hard. lack those and you're just one more narcacistic (did I spell it right this time douche bag) pain in everyone's a#$. Grow up already!

I consider "dude" genderless. I also have a boatload of perspective and gratitude-I wish I could expand on this but it wouldn't be wise to provide information pointing to my identity.

I agree, when you truly possess those traits, life isn't so hard. I also agree that most people, forget reps, aren't able to comprehend those traits at the depth and level of consciousness required in order for it to positively impact their lives.

No, I'm not bitter-good point. I don't even know when payday is I make so much at Forest. As a "grown up" who's been here over a decade my base double the starting salary. However, I don't even think about that often. I'm lucky too! How about that? The money is great but it means nothing compared to nor does it define who I am as a human being.

I play well with others too. I could keep to myself and collect my pay and let my partners sink or swim on their own-but I don't. Want to know why? Because I know I possess something really cool- I can genuinely see the perspective of others and how I could positively impact their lives and careers expecting nothing nor wanting anything in return-that's irrelevant. I never keep score-a divorce will teach anybody that (hopefully).

Having said that, I stand by my original response to you. It accurately depicts the current culture of most divisions in our company.

and....it's N-A-R-C-I-S-S-I-S-T-I-C
 






Listen up. I'm so sick and tired of the narcacistic jerk wads who post on here about how they hate getting signatures, taking coffee, talking about products. You losers are just that...LOSERS! You can't see that this isn't traditional sales. You're selling yourself jackholes! The reps who make it through this tough time will be the reps who have the best relationships. Who know their offices. Who don't mind bringing coffee and putting a smile on your provider's faces and a little sunshine in the offices. Nobody who really understands this job worries about a 3 product detail, unless they're with their manager. Then it's no big deal if the offices love you. Give it up already. The real talent is in liking the people and being willing to bring value to offices. Do that 98% of the time. Appease your manager the other 2%. Leave early, get home at a reasonable time. Enjoy your life and show a little gratitude and a dose of humor. Stop whining about your income. If it's too low and you're so smart, shut up and find a higher paying job. Ugh....losers do what losers do. As for me, I do my job. I know all my offices. They love me and look forward to my visits. Eventually I'll move on to a better paying job, but until then I'll make the best of this. My job is to get in front of providers. Even if that means I don't tow the company line. They pay me to be smart enough to read between the lines, so I do. If doing what the many recommends gets me kicked out of offices, then I'm not gonna do it. I have no problem understanding the nuances of this job and the fact that so many others do is a sad testament to the lack of awareness in our culture.

a horrible culture here-you are part of it
