THE "ALL DAY LIE", BEGINNING A NEW TRADITION AT AZ!

My bad habits are carrying over form 2016. It is getting harder and harder to make even one legitimate call. I got up this morning with good intentions, but when I started thinking about driving to make my first call, I said screw it. I love our tradition of the all day lie!

My "bad habits" started around 2005, and have gotten worse every year. But, what he hell, I have a lot of time to be a home enjoying my family. I think the ALL DAY LIE works extremely well!

News flash, we are all doing it and senior leadership knows it. It is a total facade and keeps getting worse every year. But they need us to justify their paychecks too. So the circle remains unbroken and the stock holders are stuck with the carnage. But when the government instills price controls, which are coming, then the whole house of cards comes tumbling down.

Has anyone else noticed how big this thread is? Are there really this many sales people at AZ doing absolutely nothing al day? I would venture to say this entire thread has to be the work of several of the same individuals. No way a company can susatin itself with this many lazy reps. I actually going out and meeting customers. I enjoy it even more now that i've come to terms with no chance of promotion. No more "career development" work. Just do the job i love.

I think that the number of reps lying about calls, etc., borders on 90% or greater. There is not a single day that goes by that I don't fake calls. You have to. Simple as that. It's part laziness, and part necessary. I love getting home early. I also enjoy the customers, but faking calls is not part of the job.
 












Since the layoff (I survived as usual), I have become a full fledged Master of the ALL DAY LIE! My guess is now 100% of us are striving to become Master's as well. Work hard little grasshoppers at perfecting the ALL DAY LIE, and you too will become a Master some day!
 






Man, this all day lie thing is now SOP at AZ! My partner never leaves the house now before 10 AM. I've called them at 9 Am, only to wake them up! I thought it was only me practicing the all day lie, but this person and I talked, and they've been doing it for years! We've agreed to agreed to watch each others back, and to check in to see what faked calls they will enter that day. We have a great system that allows us to take off several days each week! Can't beat it!

This doesn't make sense... You fake calls everyday.... And you say faking calls is not part of the job?! Stupid fuck
 












Advise: Go out there and actually make calls only on those offices you plan to take your DBM to on next field ride. Then go do what you want for the next few weeks until the field ride along and you'll be just fine!

God advice that has worked through the years. My DM is so damn stupid, that they don't realize that we are basically going to the same offices over and over again, or they just don't care. They are constantly checking email, taking calls, and basically has no idea what we have been doing that day. Where does AZ find this idiots, let alone promote them! We need a major thinning of the herd again to get rid of some of these morons!

But, give me our famous all day lie anytime! What a great tradition!

Got news for you. They are living the lie just like us. Everyone's jobs depend on it.

What a sham this whole company has become, and I do my part! Today, and I did on Monday, I will be refining my skills in practicing the ALL DAY LIE!!

HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!

Not the poster that you responded to, but I was let go in the "purge of 2012" and used my AZ severance to start my own business. You had better hope that your gravy train stays on the tracks because you have no fucking clue as to what it takes to survive in the real economy. I scratched and clawed, cut back on my family's lifestyle and spent countless sleepless nights worrying about the very real possibility of losing everything I'd worked my entire life to build.

After two years of busting my ass, my business turned the corner last year and is now providing a very nice profit and living for my family. I had the pleasure of working with many outstanding individuals in my 16 years with Zeneca/AstraZeneca. I also worked with more than my fair share of douchbags as well. You, my friend fall into the latter category. Selling? Your type could not sell a piece of pussy on a troop train if your life depended on it. Integrity? You thrive on lies, your job and very survival depends on it. But what do you care? As long as you can collect that nice paycheck for working 10 hours a week. But I have something that you'll never know. I sell myself, my business and my reputation every day of my life. And when someone hires me, I complete the job and they hand me a check, I take pride in the fact that I, me, myself, have built something truly outstanding out of my own blood, sweat and tears.

I do, however, have to work with my boss every day. Oh wait, my boss isn't some kool-aid drinking ass wipe DSM, stack ranking me and hammering me about my "metrics". I am my own boss. I control my reality, my future and the future of my family. The only metric I have to give a rat's ass about is the bottom line, and that bottom line looks real good!

Your inevitable response will be to call me a lying troll. Why else would I still be following CP? I'll tell you why. To remind me where I came from, to give some hope to some that still work for this shithole company that there is an alternative, but most of all to occasionally respond to shitheads like you. That, and the pure entertainment value. Priceless.
