Is it the constant quota adjustments allowing your partner to replace you for a trip? The constant push for MEI programs? Crappy ride-alongs? Bad roommates at meetings? Tell your story!

ride alongs, what a joke! Managers sit and pretend they are a real factor in the reps success or failure, now they are supposed to coach us on our careers...Please get this over with...and also, just pay us a lump sum on severance, none of this pay continuation that ends with finding another job; severance is earned for putting up with this three ring circus for so long....

I had a DM who had the same comment after every call: "If you had asked a better question, I think the doctor would have talked longer." It didn't matter if there was an emergency in the office, the doctor was 3 hours behind, or they stood and talked for 10 minutes, he had the same statement. And when I would ask this manager to give me an example of a "better question", he'd advise me to come up with one on my own. Even when we had a great day, with several solid discussions and a successful lunch, my FT eval would look the same. After a while, I'd deliberately take him to no-see offices just to rile him. I was probably headed for a PIP when a reorg and layoff moved my territory to a new district. My new DM was a good guy, and my FT evals actually reflected the days' events. He often had suggestions, but he'd hear my point of view if I disagreed. The last few years have been the best of my career, and if I'm severed as expected in the near future, at least I wasn't stuck with a miserable work environment to go along with it.
 








Being laid off 3 times and having t scramble for a new job in the organization. I also was a senior district manager at one time and I have been demoted down to a sales rep level 1.
 












Listening to chirpy product managers on conference calls, especially M Bassler talking about all the help they need from us in CC. You can almost hear everybody's eyes rolling across the country.
