Ugly,fat,old,and male need not apply

Thanks Amgen:

14 years of ostoe experience, lots of great phone screens and then a F2F interview then they ditched me. I am 51, male, confident, trustworthy, a bit chunkey with a graying beard.

I hope Amgen falls on its face.

No one cares about your 14 years of osteo experience. Why don't you confidently lose some weight, lift some weights, and shave your beard if you already know your deficits. Stop whining and being lazy. You will keep falling on your face. Atonic seizures suck.
 






I would be willing to bet money that the 50 something man would run circles around you morons in a selling situation.. I would also bet that the doctor would choose him over you to have an intelligent conversation with. The younger reps today are the laughing stock of the industry. I know many doctors who think you are dullards and that you waste their time. You guys are clueless in how to sell to a physician. You are a big part of the reason that we have lost all of our credibility and have been deemed an unnecessary evil. You have caused us to be viewed as lazy, unprofessional in dress and skills,complaining, sample dropping, low intellect, time wasters. Many of you should have gotten jobs at Hooters as waitresses and bouncers, and that is not a compliment. The funny part is many of you are too stupid to even know you are stupid. You have these overinflated egos for no reason that is obvious to anyone!

You are a crying bitch. We know not every call is a success story. Step it up and get a job. Go see a therapist first because your shit attitude is evident during interviews.

Exactly on but most who do this job would never admit it.
Just about all pharma jobs can now be done by recent college grads. It's not rocket science to repeat marketing messages,drop of information and bring lunch. The industry has become some dumbed down minus a few areas like Onc that anyone can be sent out to be a marketing robot. Dr's realize all the bs hence they are closing their doors to reps.

Doors are closed b/c there are too many reps on the streets. Pharma dug their own grave with expanding to these BS pods while lowering the standards of the new hires over the past several years. So what does Amgen do, they hire a bunch of young nim rod PCP sales reps. Pure brillance.......... Pharma needs to and will get reduced by a good 30% within a year. Hint, the problem in pharma is not the tenured reps. The tenured reps have seen a much different side of pharma over their careers. The young nim rods only know the side of it that they helped to ruin.

You are an ass. I am employed here at Amgen at a level that you will never reach, not even in your dreams. You are the kind of Moron I was referring to. Thanks for contributing to the downfall of what was once a great career.

Go take your geritol, you old fart!

You are the ass to blame. It's always upper management that screws the pooch.

I`m not your typical looking 53 y/o rep (6`2" 190lbs, 32" waist). I have never had a problem dating very attractive 30 something female reps. Furthermore I love my job here at Amgen. I might not be the richest guy in the world, but my 150K is nothing to sneeze at. I hope all of you younger reps that are on here complaining can have as a good of a career and life as I have had so far. 2 more years and I`m done!
 






Maybe, I am missing something; where is the future at Amgen for a young person? Aranesp has done poorly and still will continue to decline. Enbrel is really going no where for the amount of money and time put into it. Vectibix, so far, has not proven the big seller the company thought it would be.

Prolia got thumped by the FDA and now more waiting for a reply. Add that to the fact, Prolia already has competition that has been a proven therapy.

Oh, of course, we have a so-called pipeline of potential high value. But, that's a long way down the road.

Why apply for employment? Where is that old attitude of being a team and an aggressive one, at that? Growth? I don't see any return to the old days where everyone pitched in, instead of spending the day politicking, rumor mongering and that old reliable, backstabbing. Lest we mention poor management choices?

The future is very ?'able.
Layoffs in pharma over the next few yrs will top 250-300 thousand easily with more mergers and cutbacks.

You can add veterans on to your list thanks to a NY DM

He had 3 years experience and the DM did not like him, he told another DM that they are "avoiding that over confident militant behavior"

Woweeee?
 






























I love you young fresh out of college little fu*kwads who think you know everything.Instead of watching and learning you morons open your big mouths to let everyone know how stupid you really are. The pharma industry over the next 5-7 yrs is toast.Your "Career" is about to be overhauled and instead of having 15-20 yrs of experience you will have 15-20 months.What next back to school to get a real degree.
The way I see it any company willing to dump a 50 yr old is willing to do the same with a 40 or 30 yr old.Job security is a myth and you young guys better start realizing that every work day you get up could be your last working in pharma.

As I read this post it dawned on me you could be talking about the narcissistic, community organizer we now are stuck with in the Oval Office. And guess which group voted for him in huge numbers...bingo...the uninformed MTV crowd. "I voted for him because he speaks with big words and talks about hope and change..."
With that group now having unemployment rates well above 50% you gotta axe yo selfs "how's all that hopey changey stuff working???"
Later...
