Xiidra / Oph enough is enough!!!

















Currently at the meeting in NJ. Doing the same old shit for the same drug that we did in Austin and Chicago and pretty much every other meeting we’ve had. This meeting was the biggest waste of time and money. I don’t usually say this, but I would rather be out in the field making calls than here pretending to be fake and acting like we will all have jobs in 6 months.

Definitely some one from the jersey team
 
















I am horrified that you were all forced to go to a meeting, but even more horrified that you had to role play. An all time low for the company

It wasn't that bad. Sounds like you weren't even there so why do you care? I took this time and enjoyed connecting with my team in person (for possibly the last time) and turned all the negative crap to think this could be the last time we are all together as eyecare and it brought back alot of memories of years we have given to this company. I laughed and had a great time connecting with everyone making more memories. And knowing that we are all in this sh!tty situation and it sucks, but we still showed up!! Took time away from our families and went through it. Showing heart because we are sales professionals and didnt quit even at the very end, we stuck it out and saw it through. Screw senior management, I could care less what they had to say in our opening session it was all their usual BS. I made the best of it. The role plays we had fun with it and we all know the current situation no one is using this new iVA in the field anyway. I'm gonna miss Novartis, the ABLs, all the lifelong frienships I made here with reps across all regions and the culture. The culture that we as reps built. Its about the people not management. So was it a pointless meeting? For new content and role plays? Heck yea. But for this last time we were Novartis EC. I didn't let the negativity consume me. I hope B & L is a home for most of us, but to me this meeting was closure. See ya 'round Novartis, I hope one day we can call it home again.

Amen to the above poster. I definitely felt better after meeting with the larger group. Nobody is going through this alone and everyone seemed supportive of the individual circumstances that make this change hard.

And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same (Same)
But when we leave this year, we won't be coming back
No more hanging out 'cause we're on a different track
And if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right now
'Cause you don't have another day
'Cause we're moving on, and we can't slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound
And I keep thinking of that night in June
I didn't know much of love, but it came too soon (Too soon)
And there was me and you, and then it got real blue
Stay at home talkin' on the telephone
And we would get so excited, and we'd get so scared
Laughing at ourselves thinking life's not fair
And this is how it feels
As we go on, we remember
All the times we had together
And as our lives change, come whatever
We will still be friends forever
So if we get the big jobs, and we make the big money
When we look back now, will that joke still be funny?
Will we still remember everything we learned in school?
Still be trying to break every single rule
Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Can Heather find a job that won't interfere with her tan?
I keep, keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly (Ooh ooh ooh)
And this is how it feels
As we go on, we remember
All the times we had together
And as our lives change, come whatever
We will still be friends forever
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Yeah, yeah, yeah
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la (We will still be friends forever)
Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there? Can we make it somehow?
I guess I thought that this would never end
And suddenly it's like we're women and men
Will the past be a shadow that will follow us 'round?
Will these memories fade when I leave this town?
I keep, keep thinking that it's not goodbye (It's not goodbye)
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
As we go on, we remember (We remember)
All the times we had together
And as our lives change, come whatever (Come whatever)
We will still be friends forever (Always)
As we go on, we remember (As we go on)
All the times we had together (Yeah)
And as our lives change, come whatever (Come whatever)
We will still be, friends forever
As we go on, we remember (Oh, yes, we remember)
All the times we had together
And as our lives change, come whatever
We will still be friends forever (Always remember)

im sorry but anyone else find this bizarre and cheesy that someone went out of their way on their own personal time post lyrics on cafe pharma?
 




Did anyone else fall asleep during Mr. Python’s presentation? I just want to know how much Novartis paid this used car salesman. Money would have been better used to give us a small incentive for showing up to the meeting. Just saying. #micdrop

Spring was never waiting for us, dear
It ran one step ahead
As we followed in the dance
MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no
I recall the yellow cotton dress
Foaming like a wave
On the ground beneath your knees
The birds, like tender babies in your hands
And the old men playing Chinese checkers by the trees
MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no
MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left my cake out in the rain
And I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no, oh
 
















lol aren’t you doing the same thing? Only difference is you’re making a statement and not asking a question. Good on you and your hypocrisy.
Dumbass


Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Is this the little girl I carried?
Is this the little boy at play?
I don't remember growing older
When did they?
When did she get to be a beauty?
When did he grow to be so tall?
Wasn't it yesterday that they were small?
Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly flow the days
Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers
Blossoming even as they gaze
Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly fly the years
One season following another
Laden with happiness and tears
One season following another
Laden with happiness and tears
Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
