Seriously... we were shipped 200 cases of f'ing Zone Bars and instead of getting cookies,etc for dessert at lunches or when doing "snack" inservices, we were expected to use these. Oh, great idea, cut them up and set them on a platter. Right. It was "apparently" supposed to help with the launch and brand awareness for the new flavors of Zone Bars that were sold at retail. You know, new flavors like peanut butter yogurt.... GROSS. Of course, you only actually used them on field rides with your boss.... I couldn't even give the cases away to friends/family.
This was around the same time that we were expected to get our docs logged into webinars during lunches.

The truth about this idiot is above he has clapping hand ICONS on here and post bogus threads answering himself
HR GUY (hsp)
Role play certifications were always meaningless, unrealistic and full of Fluff. 95% of material was NEVER used again once leaving the meeting. Yet company wasted tons of money flying docs to meeting sites and setting up this fancy venue site. Dumb Dumd and. Dumber
Former upper level manager here: in case you didn't realize, role plays have a definitive purpose for our sales team. They are meant to humiliate, unnerve and generally remind you that we are in charge. We know they mean nothing in the real world, but on Fridays over cocktails we sit and laugh the way you were humiliated at the last sales meeting. Got it!!!!!!!!!!
When I got laid off I went to Siemens and they allow the Reps a great deal of latitude on doing Doc seminars etc. The afternoon lunches are 100 % better than handing out "zone bars". All that does is make Abbott look cheap and unprofessional.
Oh yes, I was there to greet all the customers in this Doctors group and a Abbott Rep tried to sneak in and get some of the food. He did not think I recognized she and he covered his Vendormate badge so that I would not know who she was. She told me all she wanted was some food and that the customer said she could have some. Real sad. The Abbott Rep is so hungry that she has to go to a Seimen's product info lunch seminar.

Try currently unemployed and a$$ brained moron. Save the delusional dreams pal and wake your sorry a$$ up.
AN here. The absolute dumbest thing I've been asked to do is no longer sell products and forced to push concepts to hospital administrators, VPs of finance and nursing who couldn't give a rat's ass about nutrition. My loyal customers who have sent me to TPC 4 times in 12 years look at me and say WTF?
My unattainable goals now are based on number of protocols developed which result in $0 of trackable sales!

We had a rep in our district who thought they became the c-suite expert. Remember that term from last year. No one talks about that anymore because they caught on and don't want to deal with us.What a pompous ass. Does everyone have someone in their district that becomes the expert in whatever the flavor of the month is? this job has become an absolute joke.
Having to dance with mgr's and home office people during evening socials at the sales meetings. Fake it all the way while making those idiots feel like they matter. Now I just blow them off and leave.
Received a box of toddler zone bars with literature and was asked to pass them out to my trick or treaters. No kid willingly wanted them, so I would hide them under the real candy and quickly drop them in their buckets after the sun went down! Ugh!!
I decided to sing karaoke by performing at lots of parties and bars and clubs for Abbott.
No, No, that can't be true, could it? AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGH.
Not only is it true, everyone at AN got a box and was asked to do this.
Miles said to do this to entertain the doctors at our meetings in the restaurant. The lap dances helped us more with the sales.
