I could not have said it any better, I am up to my ass in MANAGEMENT, and the RSD is not any better. Give me a F'ckin break, the Doctors and staff think I am in trouble all the time. These stupid company tech' are bogus. If you want more sales, lessen the managerial shit up. I am officially on the market.
No, mark my word, Amgen is going to get in some trouble here eventually! Let's think about it, we are promoting this drug for high risk patients. Seriously, with the quota of 50 for the first three months of the year, is that realistic (especially when there are issues with speciality pharmacies reporting)? No, now if we try to promote to other patients that are not included in the label, yes, it maybe possible. What about the OPM speaker programs? It amazes me how the speaker who has been used constantly for speaking is passing out EOB's with the complicated chemo code? Really Amgen? Is this right? My Manger and my RSD have BOTH talked to me in the past about letting on of my physicians know that they can do this and even mentioned that it had been done with another office in the region and it was okay and they had been paid-this was a repsonse when one of my Endo's said he wouldn't write Prolia because he wouldn't make any money off from it, he made money on Reclast. I'm telling you, this is NOT good. I do my job with integrity! I'm currenlty the last one in my district but I have saved all the messages that have come down discssing this and I'm building up my case when they decide to put me on a plan due to my numbers! It's just a matter of time, it will happen. I do not want anyone knocking at my door because I will definitely tell the truth. I have the emails, presentations to prove it!
I hope you do have the necessary evidence and can use it to make a difference not just for yourself but for the company.
As I keep reading what is going on in sales I am deeply troubled. I am not in sales. I just read this board to get a sense of the issues. While I know that many of the people here are just complaining or venting, a portion of the posts must be legitimate and with good insights. That said, I'd like to encourage everyone posting here to post with intelligence and data. It is important that posters not look like an angry, unintelligent, bitter and incompetent employee. So please, post carefully, watch your language, and read for grammar, spelling and punctuation. The above message is so riddled with errors I have to wonder about the staff person's competency. Please, don't make that the issue.
enough you dmab reps, your all making 100k plus getting out of bed calling on primary care docs because your the best of the bunch, stop the crying some of you reps say it is not a bad JOB only because Amgen is over payin you for what you are actually doing enjoy the ride because most of you are just like the rest of the pharma reps out there your being micro managed because your Bio reps!! gimme a break
it never came from mgmt to use that code, it was refrenced that it was a code that might be used but not once was it specfic direction. besides if you knew it was wrong why did you do it. also raise your convern, then if they push it go to upper mgmt not outside the company. you will hurt your teammates and not give someone a chance to correct the behavior
You know what, unfortunately you don't seem to get it. The point is Amgen has HORRIBLE sales management. How about those Districts that have a Manager that has NEVER, EVER EVER been a Sales Manager before? Yup, and they give guidance that makes no sense, they call doctors office to check up on us and further micromanage your every move, they check cell phone and gas records from months ago.....this is going on, there are lawsuits.....unfortunately Amgen has the Arbitration clause that we all sign on to when we accept the offer, and we are "at-will" employees which basically gives those of us in the field little rights. However, Amgen will settle, just do yourself a favor and keep records.
From-
longtime Amgen HSM that just can't believe what some Managers are doing to great reps, and more importantly, fine people.....

That is crazy that manager didn't have the compassion to understand that family comes first. I would have just taken off and not asked but told them I was cancelling field ride and then let the chips fall where they may. The story doesn't surprise me but it is shocking. That is why Amgen is horrible. What comes around goes around and there will be a price to pay for Amgen. They need to get rid of top management who just legally steel from us. Maybe they should buy some new helicopterS. They can all kiss my aAayyyyss.
