Veklury Insitutional Sales Specialist







Perfect example of not having good judgement.
Delta is rapidly spreading , especially in IL & TN the 2 meeting sites. I was going because I didnt want to be singled out being one of few not attending thus being falesly labeled & discriminated.
But now with the surge of hospitalizations hitting a yearly high in Chicago & Nashville, I m reviewing my legal options under employment laws
Whomever made this decision knowing odds of post 4th holiday summer surge was high, just was not smart at all.
Whomever signed off on this idea was also clueless.
And yes I have had my Pfizer vaccine but all over world vaccinated people are getting Delta and spreading back home to family, kids, grandkids
I don't think it calls for a lawyer. They made it hybrid, meaning you've got a choice. I'm not going live either. My manager made it clear it's totally our choice and he'd rather us feel 100%. Will people roll their eyes... maybe and I'm ready for that. You should be too. Don't get so rattled about it. You do you. Come October no one will even be thinking about that meeting & the fact you weren't there. Just show up online ready to put in the work.

Translation;
I’m a scared Democrat that watched the news and I’m still terrified to leave my basement after nearly 2 years. I demand you continue to pay me my full salary even though I won’t do my job. If you don’t, I will contact a lawyer and collect unemployment indefinitely under the new administration. Im the victim here!

Translation.... you both sound like angry people that just need to do YOU. Don't worry about everybody else. You want to travel to a two day meeting that will probably not provide ANY value anyway go right ahead! If the other person wants to lawyer-up for a case that isn't even a case then that person can go right ahead & do that. LOL Either way ya'll need to get over it. Haters are going to hate no matter what you do. Bringing politics into it is getting so old. Two entire Regions are doing the meeting virtually. The other Regions are choosing to meet live. I don't think that means the two Regions that are doing it virtually are all Dems and the others are MAGA's. Get a new argument.

I agree with this sentiment. At some point, those of us working have to stand up. It’s become more than laughable that many of us have been working in a normal fashion for upwards of a year, and yet there are still people using COVID as an excuse to make the same as us while doing nothing. At this point, you either need to find a job that allows you to work from home or erase your fears and do what you are paid to do. This is a business, based on profit, and if your role requires you to leave your house to contribute, then do it or quit.

I agree with what you're saying if someone is refusing to do their job but I don't know anyone that isn't working with customers face to face if their customers allow it. Do you??? I've got a ton of customers that are still operating virtually w pharma and that's up to them not me and I've never been told by any other teammates they are working virtually just bc they want to. It's up to the customer. Where are you getting this?? The person complaining about the meeting is a little over the top for sure but they're talking about the meeting not calling on customers & doing the job itself.
 






I will tell you regardless of sales generated, the talent on VKY blows HIV HEP away! Not even close... the Account Management experience, RD exp, and even a few MS's in the past. They are just so financial and clinical with knowledge that Gilead has never had in the other divisions Primary Care skills. I been with both and talent is much higher. Avg rep has 3 P Club wins and several have over 6... also many companies P Club was Top 5%...
So even if you think the drug sells itself, the talent & capabilities & experiences are much greater than the other Gilead divisions.

Given if VKY reps need to be removed, they need to replace the primary care call flow reps in other divisions.
(This is very reflected in the ED & RDs who came over internally that are just primary care skills--- a direct reflection actually)
You can compliment the high quality of the IS group as a whole, without making ignorant comments about the rest of the talent in other Gilead positions. You might know IS team, but you have no clue about talent at rest of the company.

Totally agree. I'm an IS and I agree this team is really talented and has a lot of skills office based reps may not have simply bc it's a different channel however my HIV counterparts in my territory are amazing! They're highly respected in the community & are great partners. Gilead has some great talent without question across all business units. Some of the best I've seen. Leadership is lacking in areas somewhat but overall a great company of people.

I ll just call your stupid a s s ignorant as I have been with Gilead for 15yrs in both HIV & HEP before the Covid19 Division, and yes they are clinically better and more experience in account management as well as higher level positions beyond a rep... even though small with just 50 of us, they are elite .
So take some humble pie bro & go back to your primary care canned call flow .

You 50 won’t be missed

Dont be jealous that we all have multiple Top 5% Pres Club wins per hiring criteria.
And we were hired in at Sr TS paid grades.
We will be the next Oncology reps because that is also account selling model not the Office base Primary Care foundational rep 101 model of HIV.
So eat my dust you wish-you-could-be-me insecure idiots

Most HIV reps were offered your role - very, very few were interested as we all knew the short life of Remdesivir- with your incredible talents I’m shocked you didn’t see it as well

That's laughable. The company unfortunately had the HIV reps be "touchpoints" for info on Remdesivir prior to hiring an actual team & you F'ed that up beyond measure. They should've never let you touch it. Also someone else already said this... this team was supposed to have the new Pulm Fibrosis drug that had a ton of promise but was yanked two weeks after we all joined. Trust me it's been a huge disappointment that I'm sure you're thrilled about.

Do you REALLY believe many HIV reps ever even brought up Remdesivir? If I’m not paid on it do you REALLY believe I’m discussing it? Yeah….you belong with the Veklury Team! Poor decision to join a temp sales group. Exactly what “account management” or selling are you actually doing? You’re useless as the product will be used for virtually any person who’s admitted to the hospital with COVID.

Sorry peer but your a joke. We didnt even know the oxygen criteria or how many liters in the indication . Bottom line we did not do S with Remdesivir, never spoke it beyond 30 second reminder.
Truth hurts but truth is reality. Nice try to make you look good though.
 






The truth and whole unbias truth.

All divisions are good.

The Covid business unit with Veklury is pretty darn talented and high level skilled with tenure successful people at the rep level.
Most but not all of the RDs have experience building successful teams and launching new disease states.
However, the mistake made with the creating and building the division is the VP, ED & Brand team have never build a new team from scratch for a new disease state.
As a result at the top-- VP ED is out of position and has been validated by poor decision after poor decision. They might have been a good plug play for an existing first in class establish division, but they are not very qualified to build a new team from scratch in a new disease state.
Upper level positions of the division are struggling greatly being out of position.
Seems like half the RDs with experience smooth it out for the reps & great filter of the dysfunction from above, while half seem to be as confused, scattered, and primary care actions as the much as upper levels of the division.

This is an accurate post without a doubt.
 






I dont know if 100% accurate but its pretty darn close.
The reps & RDs are pretty steller, it is the direction, decision making, and judgement of the VP/ED that have created the issues in the division. They are obviously out of position for building a new team from scratch. Our VP is very nice but that might get you a cup of coffee as she has never ever been in any sales position in her life let alone a complex hospital account selling.
My RD gets it and does a great job of keeping us focus as our own exclusive team trying to shield us from the ineptness of upper management.
The leadership at the top is the issue with the moral, motivation and engagement.
(Big hint to both--- this is not a cookie cutter primary care division with 25yr old new reps)
