“DM’s are very insecure. Their bravado, arrogance, and obnoxious behavior is all an act. They’re under the microscope of RMs, who are pushing for a higher position. They’re all back- biting, insecure little people who try to make themselves look good by making others look bad.
Many reps are in the same game. It’s the Pfizer way to make everyone compete by fostering a dog eat dog atmosphere among the entire organization. Their thinking is it will have the big dogs rise to the top and will separate the big dogs from the smaller weaker dogs. It’s a stupid game and more often than not, the big dog is nothing more than the weak, insecure, devious, ass- kissing little person who was a friend of the one above him/ her. Picture a dog park or kennel with all the dogs running around with their noses in another dog’s butt. That’s exactly what a Pfizer management meeting looks like.
You’re not wrong to distrust everyone around you and be a little paranoid. Pfizer wants you on edge, thinking it’s good motivation. Wrong.
Just do your job, make your numbers, and yes your manager to death. They love to be stroked, and told how wonderful and admired they are and how you want to be just like them.”
