Who would forward emails to our team that were already sent earlier in the week? It takes a long time to hit forward and then type "FYI" and hit send.

Sucks being you. Here is how a typical field day goes where I am.

1. MGR meets me around 11:00
2. Sit in my car and chat for 30 minutes (about sports mostly)
3. Go to the doctors lunch I had set up
4. Sit in my car for 30 more minutes chatting about the hot nurse who was at the lunch
5. 2:00 MGR goes on his merry way
6. I get my field ride coaching form that ways we were together for 2 days

Same here. They lie worse than we do! But that's OK with me! My DM knows they bring 0 value to anything I do in the field. At least they are smart enough to recognize that, check their box, and go home.

All true, but you missed "got to leave early for the regional teleconference at 3 PM."

Usually the two day ride along happens when your boss meets you for breakfast, has no tie on and hasn't shaved. You throw down breakfast, discuss business for a couple of hours, then off they go.

Not complaining mind you.

You're fortunate. Our field rides are like interviews. With a test at the end. We are all miserable.

love my dm he packs a white elephant behind his zipper

Rumor is if a guy leaves his zipper down, the female rep or female DM knows what to do from there.

I can't imagine that managers are any happier, especially those with some travel time. Four full days in the field along with busy work in between and emails and projects in the mornings and evenings... and don't forget the fire drills.

That kind of schedule will not bring any sympathy or empathy for reps, or your customers for that matter.

As the product portfolio declines pressure for sales will increase and things will only get worse.

Please, someone, with some common sense, stop this insanity!!!!!
This is grossly disrespectful to our customers!!!

Really, how do you figure that? Would'nt less reps in a territory= more ride alongs per rep!

 

[Anonymous]

Less worthless managers too, fuckstick

They are already cutting heads in HQ which is usually phase I.
Next will be EBDs, CBDs all the DBs and then DMs, before they get to us. We will all be told about the same time that cuts are coming but we will see these cuts first. Already happening unless you have been asleep.

Not unless they cut DM's, which I doubt happens at this juncture. Or, they make the DM's geographies bigger or give them more reps, which the morons just changed away FROM, so I doubt that too.

Who would text us at 7am and 6pm?!?

Why are the AZ managers riding with representatives literally for half the year? This is so disrespectful to our customers! What is the point of this? Stop this insanity!!!!!!!

They are concerned with keeping their jobs.

 

[Anonymous]

Seriously, what is the point! Are managers trained any differet than a rep?

 

[Anonymous]

Why ride along with anyone at this point. The ship is going down and people are jumping off the sinking ship while you continue to row. At the end of the year there will probably be a huge layoff as Crestor becomes generic, ride alongs will be the furthest thing on my mind as we all float in the sea of unemployment. So enjoy the ride while it last but this place is going down, sooner than later

Who would entertain me in my car with stories about their cats 2 times per month. Hey, we make 3-4 calls per day, but it's mostly cat talk.
