When did field reps become the trainer, manager, hold peers accountable?

[anonymous]

Has anyone noticed the gradual shift in accountability from management to the field? We are tasked to death. Up4growth, emails, driver safety, tending to our customers need, constant emails.
The worst is when you work with a slacker and everyone knows she’s a slacker and seems to be ok with it. Because she has some bad asses working with her so she barely leaves her house and wins. Because it will get done. Competence is a curse here. You end up training them all thins about the iPad, Vehicle, set up printer, train how to use the iPad. Incompetence seems to be embraced. You just pass all that work to the team. On top of everything we’re supposed to do.

We prefer training our own team members. We have a tight, functional team. We know how things should be done in our geography, if we train the new team member we know things will be done correctly. Our ABL is superfluous

My favorite is when ABLs ask you to coach pdi partners. Um isn't that their job?

This is the Novartis way on CV. Why we have so many counterparts I think. Rumor is we are about to get more when hfpef comes.

This isn’t by far the worst thing happening at Novartis. My partner doesn’t work, won last year and is going too win again because of work of our team. This HAS gets full benefits of our work but they do nothing (we share the same goal and Trx).

Can’t wait for their performance review and they become ineligible to win

HAS serves no purpose. Everyone knows this.

THIS IS HAPPENING IN ALL OF PHARMA..Left to join another organization and reps are training me in the field and on computers..Not the manager/not the training dept. It's all being delegated and I hate it.

The Industry is a wreck. You cannot hide from any of it. The job is a kids job anymore.

This has always been an inbred, monkey see-monkey do industry. Always behind the times on effective management techniques and philosophy.

This is my third gig and the first time I have experienced this kind of training from the get go?

The ABLs are the worst, apathetic, non complaint and out to lunch mentally. I think most are out looking and interviewing for other jobs because most are not paid at industry standards.
