Go work for bausch + lomb, regeneron, or allergan if you don't like it at Alcon... see how you like working for one of those dumps.

More resignations... Wait until end of ‘25, into ‘26. There’s gona be mass Exodus. And if history is a predictor, “they” won’t admit they caused it; nothing will change.
if your a rep looking for an oncology position, stay away from here. Look elsewhere to find a heathy culture with leaders who have a history of success by motivating people

J&J DOES NOT care if you or anyone else leaves. Never have.

The worst thing a company can do is give the sales reps a voice to complain. The complaints are always the same - “I want less supervision.” If you only had any idea how easy your job was and how bad you were at it, you’d be begging for help anywhere you can get it. And, if your manager isn’t welcome in an office, chalk it up to your relationships not being nearly as good as you think they are coupled with the fact that you just kiss ass and don’t move the needle when your manager isn’t with you. What you nitwits seem to think is that your work is to spend lunch money and buy gas. What a stupid, fucking approach to your job. No wonder your manager is with you so often. Get better and shut the fuck up, or go do something else.

Real intuitive comments. Love the language. However I must say you are correct it’s an easy job especially when you look at what you earn and unbelievable benefits. Very few professional jobs that you will find any easier. That’s a fact. And it’s true almost all companies do surveys, as they should. However, most things aren’t gonna change. And let’s be honest everybody wants less supervision. Everybody ! Most managers if they know anything at all they know who’s working and who isn’t . And it’s also true that managers spend way too much time in offices where they’re not wanted, it’s counterproductive. They have to do it because it’s in their job description they have metrics to meet as well. But Novo‘s sales model is antiquated. It’s out of date. They don’t need to be in front of the same HCPs. Have you ever looked at a customers eyes when they see you with your manager? They literally cringe. They melt on the spot. They can’t hide it. It’s so counterproductive and IMO at least 80% of sales reps, tell their customers the next time they see them they will be with their manager. And can you blame them? It’s it’s nothing but a dog and pony show. I’m not saying managers shouldn’t work with some reps in front of customers maybe the less experienced ones. How about this novice idea?
A manager meets with a rep and or a pod of reps and discusses business at breakfast or lunch? Ask the rep if there’s any customers she/he needs to see or is there any customers he’s having problems with. And yes, some reps are nitwits and so are a lot of managers. Most reps want to work hard they want to do their job. If we really are putting the patients and the HCP‘s first, we need to give our customers a little break instead of using their office as a sales lab.

The max discount is 80%, which I hit. Once I retire at the end of the year my medical insurance will be $1300 a month for my wife, daughter and myself.

Wow, that is still a LOT. I have talked to some pre-Medicare J&J retirees who don’t pay close to that. Why the discrepancy?

The drug it self is great! However, the coverage is horrible. You have so many generics that are approved by Medicare, so the insurance will ask why they need a branded antibiotic when 90% of the generics will work. Everything in most cases requires a Prior Authorization. Once a doctor has written the drug a few times and every time it gets denied, you will most likely lose that doctor. They don't have time to fight with the insurance companies. So you end up getting one off RX's here and there. It's never consistent.

The only upside is that you can get "Specialty Pharma" on your resume and it will help you land your next job. Outside of the, the company is not a good one to work for.
