Who did I wish ill on and what did I say about karma?
It’s difficult to tell the difference between a bathroom stall wall in a middle school or a professional pharmaceutical website by reading the above posts.
Did you really just say that YOU work FOR Lisa? That my friend is THE reason why your team is dysfunctional. Any solid, strong and strategic DBM works for their Reps and not the other way around.
Apparently Lisa has established an environment whereby her reps WORK for her? Do you go out every day making your 8 calls, conducting 4 L&L's and 3 dinner programs FOR Lisa? Brother, you hit the nail on the head by sharing your thoughts and explaining the mentality of your team. I realize you may say it was just a phrase but no wonder they are posting these horrific posts they are frustrated. It is this exact setting that fosters failure. Take it from someone who has been on stage with that award in my hands several times and been sipping fruity drinks by the pool, it was due to my DBM working FOR me to be successful. A DBM who stood beside me and not over me supporting OUR efforts in addresses the obstacles and restrictions that EVERY territory has these days. I can assure you that all the successful reps around the country will agree we do not work FOR our managers. Their success depends on the entire team.

This is the first sensible thing I have read here. Agree 100% A great manager has that exact philosophy whereby they are here to serve and support us in the field. these posts are good for something. Does your Rochester manager read these?
It sure sounds like the team is afraid to go to her. Heres a suggestion:
Have a team meeting have every person type out what they like about her management style and her team leadership and what they dont. But also include suggestions that could make it better and what they feel they need from her to succeed. Print out and make them anonymous and put in a basket in the meeting room. Then your manager can read each one to her self (not out loud) and then address out loud with the team.
It will be a humbling experience for her but if she is committed to the team and making it better then she should have no hesitation.

Your company blows, so pretty much every manager there is going to be bad for not understanding this.
I think that's commonly referred to as a 360 degree evaluation!
Yes 360 evaluation but with a twist. When its done via corporate system it could be thought to NOT be anonymous. By doing it the old fashion way ensures an open, honest and challenging dialog.
Great idea! Maybe all the managers should do. But Rochester should go first. Go for it Lisa!!! Please.

AAWN to succeed APLP. Who will be next VP of field medical? JBQ, DISK, or TRAF? The Hunger Games have already begun.
You just described every female manager in West Virginia and Kentucky.
You’ve just described every female manager in the bluegrass region. Powell needs to grow a pair and get control of the witches.
I think you've already posted than once, but you called it WV & KY before. We got it - you have a problem with the ladies. They make pills for that now. Just ask your doctor.
WOW! I'm pretty sure I saw her in Chicago!"STOP TRYING TO TELL ME HOW TO DO MY JOB!!"
