The Truth about Global Security













You don't have to get on the plane. They can't make you get on.

Go see a doc and get a note that says you need time off because of stress.

Fax it to your DM. Let those guys sort it out.
 




Show up at the ER and say you cant take it anymore, you just want it to go away, they will admit you to the pysch ward for a few days, then you can get the note that you are mentally stressed; in some cases this is not actually too far from the truth. If you are seriously having real problems, job, spouse, etc etc this may the last straw to push you over the edge to get help....
 








Re: The Truth about Global Security- Need ADVICE

I read your thread about GS and I need some advice. ** I am a DM at a large pharma company on the east coast and I was called Friday by my boss who told me an investigation has occurred and I'm to cancel all my field travel appointments next week with my reps, I'm to have no contact with any of my reps, and I'll be meeting with HR and/or legal next week. I asked if I was fired or if I need to look for a job. She said I'm still employed but there are some "serious concerns" that they have found. The only thing I could think of is possibly how I used profanity around reps just as they used it around me and (doesn't justify it) but I also heard from a source, that the reps bringing these complaints to the table have some sort of text message or email from me where I called someone "gay". I can't recall the comment but I need advice for my meeting next week with legal and/or HR. By the way, I tried to fire a female rep of mine for stealing from the company on her expense reports. HR and Legal got involved and this woman walked even though she was clearly guilty!! I couldn't believe it. So, my point is, I've seen the company use this threat before only to end up with a fruitless search. On a side note, my relocation contract ends this July and I believe it says if I leave before my year is up, July 1, I'll have to pay back the full amount of the relo. Good luck collecting that! What's your advice at the meeting? My thoughts are: - admit nothing, - say "I don't recall ever doing or saying that", - possibly bring an attorney, - claim STD until I can find another job, - during the meeting, always say "Does not sound like anything I would do or say", - turn everything into a question, "Do you want me to send obscene texts or use profanity in front of my reps?", - Talk as little as possible. Advice??? Thank you....MC

Seriously? You're a DM asking the reps who frequent this board for advice on how to keep you from getting canned? Won't happen. You are on the other side, the adversarial management side remember?
