Year End.....

Everyone in Wilmington knows that COE is and always has been a complete joke. It is a free trip for Senior Leadership. It was designed as their perk not ours. History is loaded with examples of COE winners who were fired just before or just after the trip. The forecasting model is a dart toss, objectives and customers are shared with multiple reps to the point that it is impossible to measure individual contribution. If you win, enjoy the trip but don't carry any false expectations that Senior Leadership thinks you are special. They come back from these trips and can't remember more than 3 names and usually it is someone who made an ass of themselves.

Countless examples of COE winners getting there on the merits of others. In the end there is no way to prove the payroll fraud and the discrimination without transparency. RSM's and DSM's justify why a team is not getting credit for those on their STP. If you have a personal relationship with a prescriber, never disclose to leadership. Data will suddenly disappear and it will be shifted elsewhere at their discretion. No transparency needed. Tell your prescribers please never mention that the only reason why they write is because of your credibility or dedication. Yet another reason for a sales leader to pull data from you. Ready your compliance manual. It is all in there minus the requirement for your manager to be transparent with you why your tanking or unable to move your market. Strong reputations and strong relationships are why people buy from others. In this organization those qualities will be used against you and others will ride your coat tails. Watch what you say to others and you will be better off in the long run.

Assuming you are a rep, your DSM is as clueless to the actual data as you are. Your CBD sees opt out prescribers and sees data at a regional level. What it looks like when it gets to you is where the issue is. Agreed that transparency is omitted, but that is the strongest weapon when someone gets a bug up there ass and they want you on a PIP. The system allows for leaders to fire at will and no matter what you do, you will lose that batter.

Rarely does a DSM decide to terminate an employee unless there are compliance violations. A CBD is the likely initiator of a PiP. The DSM is then tasked with executing the intent of his immediate superior. Because sales performance is manipulated at the CBD level, you do not stand a chance to succeed once you are a target for termination. If state labor departments had a clue, pharma would be fined heavily for their standard operating procedures regarding employment. Do your job, shut your mouth, and do not trust anyone. You will stay off a PiP if you follow those three simple guidelines in pharma sales.

Never sign anything and never agree to anything.
 












i hope my CBD approaches me. Erin Becker is so hot with her skin tight skirts. She is as nice as an angel and has the heart of a lion. Loyal to her team and sexy the perfect women

this is so so true. When an RSD or CBD wants you gone, you will be gone no matter how hard you work or how successful you have been. They will sick H.R. on you and unless you are a minority or one of their friends, they will find or manufacture what ever they need to fire you. You will soon learn that H.R. has no scruples. They will smear your name by interviewing your peers so that everyone soon knows that they are wanting to fire you. Then, if legal doesn't think they have a strong enough case; they will offer you a separation by mutual consent and pay you to leave. In order to get the money you will have to sign a confidentiality agreement stating you will never sue them or discuss your case with anyone. This piece of paper however isn't worth much and will not prevent you from suing them for discrimination if you have a case against them. They will intimidate you into thinking you are scum of the earth but you still have legal rights protected by the anti-discrimination laws and regulations.

Severance? Did you say "SEVERANCE"?
 








there will never be a severance with all probability. For those who've wanted layoffs and to be let go, your wish will not come to fruition. For those who intend on being here years to come, there's no news suggesting that won't be the case. AZ has all but made it through 2017 and will return to Growth and all will have a JOB!!!! Yeah!!

3000 to be laid off globally. News to be announced in December. Thanks again HO troll for your words of encouragement for the countless snowflakes following along. Now go back to posting on your Chatter page.

PS Nobody cares!
 




ZERO indication of layoffs. Especially in US. The ones laid off in 2016 were the last for a loooong time!! It's posted once a week the they're coming soon ,but 2012,2016 were the last chapters of mass layoffs.

How many months this year came and went with "layoffs gonna happen this month,next month?"

Not so sure....
Don't know the time but the resp/pcp sales team will be earmarked once the generic version of Advair comes out. Also, look at GSK w/ Breo. The drug isn't that great but they capture the managed care companies and pound device growing share while Symbicort is losing share. GSK plays chess while our constantly revolving snowflake brand team plays checkers. At some point (probably sooner rather than later), I could very easily see districts combined and head count reduced by 30-50%.

And I would also suspect what the OP stated, if you work in this division and are ranked at or near the bottom w/ previous underperforming ratings in the last year or two, then you may be in a bad place.

Snowflakes run amuck. They have infiltrated the fabric of our culture. We are increasingly being forced to preoccupy ourselves with social media and social acceptance behaviors and activities. None of which create value for stakeholders.
