vacation

[Anonymous]

Because of compliance etc. all sales reps, TLLs, etc. etc. are the same regardless of medical designations, education or advanced degrees. All that is useful only to help go through training materials faster and for acting as know-it-alls during training and meetings.Can't use any of that great knowledge with customers anyway.

Commercial jobs in the field are the great equalizer, we are all the same!

This is the reality, deal with it

The problem with you is that you are new to this site and are silly enough to believe everything you read. I know for a fact that a very large amount of the post are made up or out of context. You think that you just discovered gold by reading this site but reader be aware is my only advice. The other sad thing is that you are basing your opinion of all of Genentech on a few CS that you've met and what you read on CP. That's really unfortunate because people like me or other readers could think all pharmacists are as arrogant and rude as you are but I know better ... at least I hope they aren't all narrow minded as you. Needless to say this is a site for Genentech employees to communicate so do yourself a favor and get a life and maybe join some pharmacy organization where everyone can be delusional and talk about how great they are and how many lives they save each day! It's a new year; why don't you try something different and care about someone other than yourself because based on your posts, that is clearly the case?

Sadly, you are quite wrong concerning the three examples that were posted. All were true and in the majority of cases, involved Genentech Compliance and outside legal counsel from Washington, DC. We have a major problem with unethical behavior, with many issues in the Midwest, many include the Division manager that showed up to work for three hours in an 11 month period. More examples:

We had a situation in the Midwest where we paid a salary for an employee to fly to a rural area of her Territory and she placed fake calls. The flight originated from Minneapolis. The clinic she reported on, she listed a physician that left a year earlier for Maine, a Pharmacist that worked at a Mercy Hospital two hours away and a NP that worked for US Oncology. We paid for a flight and airline miles, a hotel and hotel points for fraudelent calls.

There was a division meeting in the Midwest in which as employee referred a physician from a teaching hospital as "He speaks broken english, he is hard to understand, he is so stupid". We do not believe that an Asian Physician that does not speak english like someone from the Midwest is stupid. This is racially offensive. I want to make sure that everyone is clear, we do not condone racially offensive comments here at Genentech. This was a division with a manager and 8 employees, all caucasian. I am very happy that someone had the courage to report this racist incident. Race hate should not be tolerated at Genentech. The interesting item here is, the Regional manager for the DM and employee involved is Asian.

Then we had the employee that join us from Amgen. The indiviual turned over proprietary information from Amgen. Genentech Compliance and HR had to come in and ask everyone involved with the hiring process to destroy the Amgen Proprietary documents showing loyalty discounts. This is terrible that the perception is Genentech is now selling on the "Spread". I know that the Kadcyla Marianne trial failed and many may be feeling a little to desparate to sell at all cost. The Amgen loyalty sheets clearly were marked and I am not sure why a manger would hire someone involved in this activity. One thing is clear, you do not have to be able to read to be a manger at Genentech.

Then the manager that was involved in not showing to work was involved with one of his employees in approving a display fee for a Yoga talk and gift cards for nurses, including nurses that are state employees in a state with a gift law. Just stunning such unethical activity happening at Genentech. I am not sure how this manager keeps his job. The RM, HR represtative and compliance are all aware. This is sad that Cancer patients are providing a paycheck to this individual.

The good thing about uncovering this unethical and potentially fraudulent activity is critical as we look at future reorganizations, we can cut at least 20-25% of the sales force and save at least 50-75 million dollars. There is no reason to pay for hotel and airline points for this type of activity on the backs of Cancer Patients.

The other item that is a real concern here at Genentech is so many employees are aware of this activity and no one is speaking up. There is a process at Roach on the Speak Up hotline. Looking the other way as unethical activity is going is simply wrong. By looking the other way, you are no different than the individual involved with the unethical behavior.

It sounds like both the manager and the RM need to get the boot!

Why, because they only worked with a given rep for 3 hours in 11 months? First, we dont know if this is an exaggeration, then we also dont know why, ie cancellations by the rep or DM. Oh, and the RD should be fired for supporting the DM, which is exactly what they are supposed to do, absence any corporate policy violations. Real geniuses on this thread!

I thought you all drank your own kook-aid about everything you do being for the patient. If you re launching a new product shouldn't you cancel vacation to make sure it makes it to patients? or is the mantra just for PR, recruiting and retention purposes?

We dont deliver goods to offices. Since everyone who works has clients or customers, based on your logic no one in America would ever take a vacation.

I heard about the Race Hate division. You know they are having a meeting when you pull into the hotel parking lot where they are meeting and there is a "Klan Watch" van doing surveillance.

I work at corporate and I am Asian. I am appalled that this rep and manager are not terminated given their comments and support of the comments. What does this division do for a team building exercise, play a game called "Apartheid"?

Given the breach of data by the individual that Genentech hired from Amgen, did Genentech make a national announcement about the breach or have they set up an 800 hotline number so clinics can call in and find out if they were a victim of the breach?

Wow, this is quite a bit of very specific information. As they say, 'where there's smoke there's fire' so probably these behaviors probably extend well beyond the divisions and districts mentioned. Does this mean that we have a bigger problem? My guess is yes. Wonder what would happen if, based on this, they went looking more proactively and more deeply for these things as opposed to cursory and superficial field visits or audits. Mmmm

The manager for the apartheid division?

Yep, the manager that showed up to work a total of roughly three hours in an 11 month time period.

I am guessing that this must be the integrity that Ian Clark and Troy Cox were discussing on stage at the January 2014 national meeting in Las Vegas. Got to love the white entitlement mentality.

If you are hiring for an expansion when your pd-l1 is approved, I would be interested. I could hand over my Merck proprietary information on keytruda sales to show my success. Given that you pay a manager 300-500k to go to work 3 hrs in 11 months, I would be happy to go to work 15 hours a week for 300k per year. Also, I would be glad to hand out gift cards from best buy, target,etc to support sales. I think I have the potential to be a Genentech rep.

It has nothing to do with the hours the DM works. He is an old Roach nightmare manager. The jerk needs to leave.
