The once great Pfizer.

Now just another Kool Aid Drinking mess. Has been that way for at least 10 years now.

That is what happens when you hire lawyers to run your company instead of greats like Hank M.

Now look at yourselves, among the laughing stock of the sales world.

 

they literally had blue kool-aid at our last poa

 

How did it taste; was it sugar or sugarless?

 

We are no longer a sales organization.

Legal put policies in place to kills sales.

HR put policies in place to ensure efforts are spent on social engineering, not sales.

Management saw what was going on and created layers of AMs - SAMs, KAMs, RAMs, etc where the former sales pros would go into hiding. They found it so rewarding to get paid for doing nothing that they build up additional layers of protection.

What's left is a corp of affirmative action managers ruling activity metrics over sheep.

 

Hank McCrorie was a great leader. I worked at Pfizer during that time. Things have really gone downhill since that time.

 

HM was an "OK" leader. Surrounded himself with like-minded southern good-ole-boys. Was afraid of diversity and trying new ideas, approaches to sales and leadership.

 

Pfizer was never great, good maybe, but not great. Always run by very mediocre robots that followed the lead of the great companies, made a shitload of money and to stay afloat, bought the great companies and dismantled them.
I don't call that being great, it's shrewd business tactics. There's a difference.

 

Just work and make money.

 

Or not work and make money. Unless you call feeding the office cows and getting a signature and time stamp. Can't believe we still get paid what we do for doing something a monkey could do. Sad.

 

Then a trained monkey like you should have no problem.

 

I remember Pfizer had an award trip for hitting 1 Billion dollars with Zoloft. So our reward at the last POA for selling VIAGRA and making the company BILLIONS of dollars over the lifetime of the product was Blue Gatorade and cupcakes with Blue frosting. Wow, what an emotional, uplifting and motivational award. This just makes me want to work 12 hours a day and do an infinite amount of worthless dinner programs.

I have none. Gives me more time to make more money from my business while fools like you are being used up and spit out. Live and work in your fantasy land of Pfizer, you are exactly the kind of employee they hire.

What's for lunch? I'm a vegan, I want a gluten free. Don't forget dessert. We had this yesterday!

 

OK is being generous.

 

We haven't been a sales organization since 2006 or so, whenever we started getting pimp-slapped by DOJ for egregious off-label promotion.

BUT, you lost me with Affirmative Action managers. Look at our mid-level management and above, both out here and inside East 42nd St. Count out loud the number of minority women or black and Hispanic men at district or regional levels, Directors in marketing, or at KAM or RAM level. Ive been here for 25 years, and can't think of more than…well, less than 10. But I (like most of us) can think of dozens of ass-clowns, boot-lickers, and worthless cronies of Carl or Griffin. Many of them were unceremoniously walked outta 235 building by security, and have been fired by AT LEAST one other pharma company by now.

We have long been ruled by a good ole boy network from the days when we were 1st to market with an ED drug and sold mega monsters like Zithromax, Lipitor, Zoloft, and Norvasc (depending on where your territory was).

Dont blame Kindler or McKinnell for our mess. Read Fortune magazine story about how Steere refused to let go, and how he poisoned the well for all of those that came behind him. Talk to old-timers about how Carl beat out little Ricky Birch and the smart the guy from Pharmacia. That decision was the REAL death rattle of a once-mightly juggernaut.

 

This.

 

Oh, and don't remember that handsome tie for the men and scarf for the ladies that all of those billions made for the company as well! Above poster was so correct,
Z1B was the bomb and now we get a cupcake and a Friggin tie!

 

Loved the toga party too. That was a ton of fun and glad I was there

 

"Once" says it all.

 

Everyone remember the Wood U Carl gave to the entire sales team
