Everyone needs to wake up. Did adding the DEMS team really increase revenue? I think in some cases Regeneron is paying for reps who aren’t working. How many of these people were DEI hires? How many have been kicked out of offices? How many claim to have excellent conversations with RS that have never even happened? Worst joke ever on us and an embarrassment.
I did something similar at a previous company. I showed up at my mid year PM meeting with an empty sheet of paper. My manager asked me what was going on. I said that I wasn't interested in fighting for a 1-2% raise. I also told him he was free to give it to someone else as long as I wasn't required to do any PM management BS. No STAR examples, no special projects, no butt kissing, no "What good looks like" detailing examples, just deliver numbers. I told him the process was broken and I wasn't interested in participating in it. I still received a 1.5% raise because my territory exceeded plan even though budgets were "tight" that year.
