Kissing the Manager's Ass!

Isn't it freaking sad and humiliating to watch these people kiss the manager's ass for a rating and bonus money? I don't know how you can live with yourself and face your family, friends and counterparts! Bend over and smile! How sad!!!

 

Certainly not a perfect award system, however, some of the people recognized tonight do a lot, and perform well, so I'm not shocked by the recognition of some of the people. At least we are seeing the beginning of a shift in the culture here at GSK. Most of us probably won't experience the glory days of past performance awards, but maybe if you have any ounce of pride left, you have felt a tremor in the force, that may kick start some competitive juice, to do a little more than what we think we do on a daily basis.

 

Something tells me that you are a low performer and are jealous of others.

 

He doesn't understand the manager / employee thingie.

 

Wrong. He understands you are a low performer.

 

Low or high, you gotta' understand they are the manager and have control over reps......as in any organization.

 

Are you Captain Cornhole?

 

No Barack Hussein Obama is.

 

I will share my patented secret for success at gsk. Read, memorize and repeat:

step one- pretend your manager is a competent, independent thinker and leader who is first and foremost looking out for you and your career. If necessary repeat that to them to inflate their fragile egos.

Step two - lay out and explain your phony metrics so that they can take credit and pretend ownership to their manager. Phony data must be provided in dashboard format with fancy coloring for maximum impact. Pretend dashboard was their idea.

Strep three - regurgitate your managers phony company speak (i.e. Affinitize, asmart objectives, etc) and nod your head with affirmation when they use it. Speak in cliches as often as possible, even using words that are not in the dictionary but used frequently at gsk.

Step four - embed, grow and sit back collecting da easy money

 

With out a doubt this is the GSK Way I am on the inventiv Contract worked a few other places and this is the most non working company I have seen!, stay home for web-ex meet partners for coffee etc etc. It's all Mumbo Jumbo and catch phrases

 

How about it. If only metrics and catch phrases equaled results.

I'm hoping Emma will turn this thing around.

 

the glaxo way.

 

It's been like that since the merger, excuse me......since we took over Glaxo.

 

Metrics, catch phrases (swagger) and silly frenetic activity do equal results. My manager just got a promotion to S5. What else matters?

 

How about your pride and self-respect?

 

And here is evidence of the acceptance and defense of a socialist culture at GSK.

 

Let's reward everyone !

 

I don't call give a rat's ass about he awards. I do the best I can, so I can help support my salary!

 

Pure genius. Bubble that up to the CET sparky
