Worst RD Stories at Supernus

You think the new stuff is on the horizon lol. They have had enough data to file an NDA with the FDA since the end of last year. Yet here we sit waiting to file. It's laughable how poorly this has been handled by the mothership.

Is this why we never get a real update on 812 or 810 at POA anymore?? I’ve been wondering.

They used to focus on it so much and now they barely mention it.

Does your RD make you certify before every POA? I think it’s ridiculous. Most of our team has been here for five years or more.

It’s insulting to us, especially when we hear that other teams don’t have to certify and were told it wasn’t required by corporate.

So this is yet another instance of our RD kissing corporates behind.

But now that I’ve posted this, what do you want to bet that instead of saying we are adult professionals and that no one has to certify, they make it mandatory for everyone. That’s the Supernuts I know!

Certify with the script every time? No. My RD doesn’t. Maybe when corporate demands it every once in a while, but if it’s up to them, they don’t. They trust us to come prepared and we always do.

I’m one of the lucky ones. I actually have an RD that I like.

I think it’s really creepy that they have to ride in the car with us. It makes me uncomfortable. The company gives them a car. Why don’t they drive? I don’t get the religious talks, but my RD tries to dive into every aspect of my personal life and I feel like he has no right. Once I had a previous RD send work things through Facebook messenger. We’re not even friends so he had to look me up. I blocked him. I’m a personal person and need work/personal boundaries. Ride alongs are torture

I agree. I feel like they are given a company car for no reason. Having someone you don’t know well when you’re on the newer side is extremely odd and creepy for me as well as uncomfortable. I don’t feel like I need to talk about my personal life but they try to hard to dig it out of you. You are not my friend I don’t owe you information about my life.

Ride along days are awful for exactly that reason. Mine always manages to say something inappropriate. It takes me a few days to wipe the slime off. Disgusting

Look, as a long time rep here, I can say I’ve gotten exactly what I signed up for.

We were recruited, at least early on, on building a pharmaceutical company that wasn’t like any other. A company feels as if it’s yours, knows it’s people are it’s best asset, and always does the right thing.

If you have a truly incompetent, inappropriate, disrespectful RD then something should be done. In my experience, they have weeded those out. Doesn’t mean some aren’t still here.

That also doesn’t mean that the style of management is way off. Your RD doesn’t need to be your best friend. As long as you both communicate and understand your common goal, you will be good. Yes, some are worse than others. But I promise they want you to succeed (bc their success*money* depends on you).

The next poster will probably rip this for being corporate kool aid, but it’s actually just a simple positive outlook.

Thank you for sharing your experience as a rep. That does not mean this is or has been every reps perspective. Consider yourself fortunate as it sounds like you’ve have a great RD since day one.

Not quite. I’ve experienced a few different RD’s due to expansions, reorganization, and turnover. Some were good, some horrible, some great. I appreciate the sentiment you share though. By the same logic, we can’t be on here making generalizations about our companies leadership based on your personal bad RD.

Are they sending out the RD survey to the reps this year?
 


















cant wait for our customary pre-POA conference call today. An hour of our boss calling on us to read the scripts out loud. Word by word. Paragraph by paragraph. Like kindergarteners.

“So what do you guys like about that?”

Good news is..... we get to do it all over again next week at POA.

This cannot be true. Seriously?!!!! I am so sorry if that is actually how an RD tries to prep you for POA. That’s such a horrendous waste of time.

Happens in my region too
 






Don’t worry bros. It’s worth it. This is going to be the best POA ever. Literally everyone at corporate is talking about it. They’ve never seen a plan so hot! Don’t forget to high five that awkward roomie you're about to hook up with at your second rate company sponsored stranger sleepover extravaganza. You know you guys’ll be reciting this shit to each other in your dreams

The rooming situation is embarrassing. I thought they’d get rid of that years ago

Can’t we legally refuse to room with someone else? Has anyone ever tried to say no? Doesn’t this contribute to a hostile work environment when they don’t have our consent?
