You haven't seen "disengaged" yet

Prospects for laid off pharma manager worse than for a rep. Just like everyone outside the industry knows pharma reps don't really sell, so it is known that pharma managers don't really " manage" anything. A lot less positions for managers in a shrinking industry. Gonna be almost impossible to replace hi salaries and higher un- warranted bonuses.
What do you say honestly on a resume? " I baby sat 10 cry baby reps, rode around in the company car with them and watched them deliver samples? Every Friday I did non-existent paper work but really mowed my yard and played golf, which reminds me, does this job come with an office day?"

And in the case of our local manager-he can add he got all the pharma reps kicked out of clinics because he's such a fat ass and never shuts his mouth. If you weigh over 250 pounds and less than 6' tall you should not be allowed to manage in this industry. Come on-this guy comes waddling in and everybody looks at him-"this guy works in the healthcare industry?"
 




our "CTL" sent out a field visit calender for the month of May. Seriously? don t you have anything better to do-like look for a new job?

We all know you're gone. And so do you. Dont try to ruin everybody else's day. Nobody is working. We're all just doing time until June 23rd. Then we'll take another free week until July. Then it all starts again until this time next year.

This company deserves everything and anything bad it gets from their employees. My brother-in-law just graduated from MBA school and guess what they spent some time on? "The Fall of a Giant"-the story of Merck and how it rose to #1 and how it tumbles to #100? Or something like that. Don't think this isn't real you bunch of losers

Wait until he's on his way then call in sick. Then if he reschedules call in that day too. I would encourage all my mates to do the same thing. He won't get the message but who cares? What's he gonna do fire you? Get one of your doctors to give a note, call HR, tell him to Foff. Use the time to look for a real job.
 




Right on! this is great. I haven't worked in 3 weeks since the announcement of layoffs. Been milking all I can. If i lose my job so what? I'll take the company for all I can. Who cares? Maybe if everyone else did that they would feel it at the top. Oh thats right-they do feel it. And they do know it.

Thats why they have to cut-cut-cut so they can sill make they're 15 million dollar bonuses! I hate this company and what its become

Funny and correct.

I haven't worked in 15 months. Haven't worked on my Merck sh!t, that is. My REAL job is going great, though. Thanks for the free income, Mother!

Trust me---they feel it. I'm one of many. Hell, I personally know many!!

FU Merck.

This is true. I've been out of the industry for over 4 yrs. and Rx reps and managers get a bad rap. Reps get a bad rep for not wanting to work hard and managers get a bad rap for not being entrepreneurs...just micromanaging babysitters with an unearned ego.

Although not true to everyone...I would say its true 90% of the time which is why you see "no Rx please" on most medical sales job qualification summaries.
 








3 RFM's last week, no selling. Just eating and having a ball. Looked at a few reports on the ipad to look busy. didn't check MVX. Made lots of calls to friends and none to merck people. sent CTL a fake list of things accomplished that I've recycled for years. She loved it. too a little tour of the outskirts of my territory that have a few nice resorts. Dialed in to 1 TC but had it on mute and wasn't listening at all. If called on it was just amazing-my phone stopped working! I like the retribution to the company. You want this, I give you that. Wonder how many other sales reps are doing the same or something close to. Lets hear it.

I love it dude

I'm doing much of the same

Damn this company sucks ass!
 








Had a great lunch today. No pressure and no "specific patient type." No closing and no questions to ask. Sorry ctl punkasses. Not for me. Im doing next to nothing until I find out what happens on 6/23. After that if I'm retained, I'll finish out my career with this mentality just for payback of them getting rid of some really good and talented reps.

KF-karma biatch

Karma

And more Karma

Hows it feel to know that sales are sliding quicker than you could every have imagined. Nobody is working!
 








whats up you bunch of prickasses? HOws those sales results looking lately? Not too good?

Too bad. Much to follow of poor sales.

I will do my best to work 20-30 minutes a day for schmerck. I think I might even make the cut!

"Disengaged"

I like the thread because it brings a whole new meaning to what disengaged really means. And it will get a lot worse before it gets any better.

Oh thats right-with the same pansy asses running the place nothing will change for the better.

I love it
