What did everyone think of Dallas?

The band was cool. Big fan of The Nerds! Lots of alcohol and good looking reps! The DCA's are really going to like working here.

Dallas was okay I guess so so. The hotels not that great. Thin walls and kind of getting the feeling Jesper is taking us from 5 stars to 3. Definitely feeling like we are getting the economic crunch.

The party was cool but we had no info on all the activities and rooms.

Why can't we do NYC OR CHICAGO?

This doesn't feel like a Novo Poa. Felt like a smaller less successful company then the one we have done 47 consec qtrs of growth! Maybe we could all stay at motel 6 next time and make the bosses super happy!!!

Bunch of spoiled, entitled whiny babies. It was a meeting, not a vacation

High pressure from DBM to do A1C test and then wanted to know everyone's numbers.

lt makes sense now: the fitness gift at Christmas. A1C numbers on everyone. Hiring younger reps (DCAs). If they want to see what itunes we've downloaded over the past 6 months, I will know that the older people are being targeted!

Bring jeans back to meeting attire!

I heard there were a few idiot DBMs disregarding their reps privacy regarding a1cs but most weren't doing that Hopefully HR will step in and take care of that.

I love the Novo board... It's like a high school sitcom. Please, someone bring up how professional field reps are again. Unbelievable.

Not a lot new, but overall a positive meeting.

Loved the band. Thought the meeting was cheaply done though.
I wish they'd bring back the jeans rule.
I like that we don't have to formally role play anymore, that they allow a more casual discussion environment. I certainly learn a lot more through discussion. Not role plays.

Tha's why I love sales and pharma in particular...it's amoral. Having said that, my pork sword got a hot workout on a tasty young morsel..anyone else?

Role plays should reflect the typical environment as it exists for the majority of reps today. Even surveys our own trade journals finally reflect the inconvenient truth for many of us: the day of the 5 minute sit-down presentation has gone the way of MySpace.

I thought Dallas was great. Accommodations close enough to walk to the meeting; food was outstanding compared to previous POAs. POA is not meant to be a vacation, that is why they call it work.
