Everyone, please ignore the childish loser above...
I agree that Merck is trying to give us full time re sponsibilities with part time pay. I am fine traveling across country for a meeting but please compensate me for it!!! I have young children and will need to hire round the clock help for the days i am gone. I get that this goes with the territory for salaried employees. We are hourly. In CA reps have a time sheet they have to turn in every week, if they go over 8 hours they are supposed to get overtime. I wonder if those reps will get a timesheet to fill out for travel time, overnight time, etc? That would be fair and make sense.Touchpoint needs to pay us extra for this meeting!! They have taken enough of my free time already!! This is evolving into full time. The morale is very low!!
Morale started to become low a few months ago. How do I know? I was a member of the Regional Advisory Board, which would give feedback to upper management. When people started to bring up "concerns" in a professional manner, then all of a sudden, we no longer had teleconferences. This Town Hall Meeting is the first in a long time they have asked us what we thought.
You are lucky you get paid for what you do. You sample drop. If you don't like the job, find another. Oh, but you will not find one that pays as well as you are making! You are an A--hole who doesn't appreciate what you have during this tough time in our economy!
Start searching for other jobs and see if you think you qualify!
You are not owed anything! If you want a timesheet, than get paid an hourly wage!
Get a life!
That is such a very sad story. Did you cry a lot? Just quit loser.
-PSS recruiter
Uh.."An A-hole", for speaking my mind and stating that I don't think it is fair that we are paid for 24 hours only yet expected to work more? You obviously don't work on this contract because you are clueless. Last I checked we ARE paid an HOURLY wage! Many of us also have TIME SHEETS. Maybe do some research before you post??
I have searched for jobs, smarty pants. As a matter of fact, I have gotten several offers. I have declined them all because they were all full time positions. I want part time so I can raise my young children. And no, I don't feel "lucky" just to have a job in this economy. If the work load continues ( heading toward full-time) I am prepared to leave and get paid for the hours I work else where. Not all of us have troubles getting job offers. The jobs are out there. Sorry if you are having trouble getting other offers and are just staying here because you "feel lucky" to have a job.
Remeber one thing....if your not happy and decide to leave..there are probably a bunch of doon to be laid off merck repsthat wouldnt mind jumping in your shoes...Morale is low? I dont think that is true for the majority of EPBU people.
