Thank you AZ SLT









Awesome added bonus as well for the gals to get in the kitchen to do a little extra holiday cooking. I'm sure this extra time off will help when you're not having to be in the field.
 




























Hell, why not just give an extra 2 weeks off, or for that matter, 2 months. It’s not like anybody’s working anyway. I don’t know, it just seems a bit ingratiating from a company that’s been really shitty for a few years.
 








Definitely a lame attempt at appeasement. It’s just easier to throw a couple of days at folks they know aren’t working anyway. It’s definitely easier for them than cutting bait on all the shitty leaders identified in the pulse survey or the threads on the AZ CP site.
 




Everyone in pharma knows Thanksgiving starts holiday time off. With the exception of a few lunches to "look busy," no one is doing much face time.

And that's why we have the greatest jobs in the world. Overpaid event planners and catering specialists. We should feel blessed since none of us have every worked a hard day in our life while in this career field. Now go and get that Smoothie order placed!!!
 








OUTRAGEOUS!! We in HQ work full days and have limited holiday days off! Screw you entitled "sales" reps.

That's why we make more money and have much better career growth trajectories. In general, the best and brightest in this industry don't become sales reps and sales reps aren't the ones making it to ED and above
 




The extra two days off is a very nice and unexpected Christmas gift!!!! Thank you for taking care of the sales team. Happy Holidays to all.

Well I guess they waited until the very end to tell you they were going to give you a week day off for a holiday that is occurring on a Saturday.

But I get your gratitude, for something that is actually company policy. They, like I said, waited until the very end to tell you.

If the “best and brightest” are Pharma HQ pukes, we’re all doomed. What a clown show. Drug reps are overpaid for certain, but the goofballs in HQ are completely useless.
