Worst Managers here?

Clean your car and go to lunch!! And people wonder why the pharma industry is such a joke to the outside world! BECAUSE THEY ARE RIGHT! Who wants to be a manager in this disaster. They bring NOTHING to the table!

Mine, too! Nearly the exact same story. So infuriating! Physicians look to the managers to get them closer to the VP and speaking / clinical trial opportunities. Our managers are glorified reps who clog up the system more than they help. They are useless pencil-pushers who provide endless reports to the Regionals to help justify their own existence.

Just a couple of thoughts here. If your manager is having to do your job for you (i.e. selling) during field ride days, I would encourage you to start considering what you're going to be doing in your next job. Managers only sell for the reps when their reps are ineffective. Same goes for the "endless reports' - they do that when you're not on top of your business, and they have to force you to do analysis.

Take it as you will. I'm not saying your manager is good or bad. I'm just saying that you should be concerned by what you report above. It's not a good sign for you.

Very true! The request for “reports” come when an area is not meeting expectations. When I first started I took over for a terminated employee in a poorly performing territory. I needed to send in a report on the state of business every Friday. As soon as I began to exceed goal, reports went to monthly then quarterly. Now I mostly discuss in prep for field ride, that happens every 6-8 weeks. So in sum, if you are often asked for reports and see your DBM more than every month and a half, you should be worried.

Which District
 




L.A the new NY regional is driving managers Crazy to the fact they are putting pressure on their reps., Actally recommending who they hire and promote and she has only been on job for a month. You climbed the ladder because of who you knew and one doctor made you a superstar as a rep. RELAX

Don’t be jealous. Just do your job.
 




Ive got a lovely bunch of coconuts
There they are, all standing in a row
Big ones, small ones, some as big as your head
Give them a twist a flick of the wrist
That's what the showman said
I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts
Every ball you throw will make me rich
There stands my wife, the idol of me life
Singing roll up bowl or ball a penny a pitch

Yes, agree here! Managers do say stupid things! Mine came here from another pharma company acting like, going to change the world. Here we are accounts saying no, don't bring your manager in here, or why do you have to bring your manager in here!
One account that is using our products and was very open to reps especially Novo. My manager pissed off the physician pushing for 1 script. That clearly physician had a reason not to use us. Next day no reps allowed with managers, no free reign to check samples or talk to physicians.

You have to prep your accounts and preset your day! This "coaching" is a fucking joke!
