Who is happy working here? Anyone?? Leadership is clueless Data is 6 mos old Biz plans are literally ridiculous DM is lazy and super micro Products are overpriced beyond explanation No one has your back if you're having a bad wk/mo Unrealistic goals Poor stock performance Nepotism High turnover Worst part is I had a decent gig before I came here-interview was terribly misinforming plus I was told "you'll make a lot of money", laughable. What a joke, back to the job boards I go....
this could not be more on point!!! I was making great money and loved my job before I came here. I took it as a "specialty" role with an orphan drug product. My bonuses have been a joke due to goals being unreachable. I am not an excuse maker, so save me the "this company pays performers" bullshit. My goal has jumped way beyond the nations growth quarter after quarter. My territory has had decent growth every quarter since I have been here, yet I am continuously behind. As quarters go on and on, and the longer I am here, the more behind I fall. My territory has never performed well, yet I am expected to have more growth than down NYC or LA?? Not happening. And don't get me started on management. Was pretty much told to start polishing off my resume. What a joke
NY and NJ win PC every god damned year. And leadership acts like it’s some heroic accomplishment. My goals are insane and continue to grow more than double the national average every quarter even when I’m under plan. I’ve been put on notice that one more quarter below plan and I’m gone. Guess what? I’m gone already. Interviewing and hope to have something new by the new year.
I’ve checked out after this last round of manager harassment. I now collect Signatures & in between each call, I - apply for jobs, network, talk to Recruiter‘s, read up on interview questions, schedule & excute phone screens. I’m not trying to go from one bad Salix situation to another ... so I’m trying to be selective however at this, can anything else be this bad???
Where did Josh get those numbers from that he presented at the POA? Really? 70% of us would recommend Salix to a friend in the industry fro employment? I would recommend this place to someone I hated.
70% are new and happy to have a job where they thought they would be a specialist and not be micromangaged. This is becoming a statistic course with all the reports weekly. Copy paste tableau to excel and analyze data and give insights. How about spend time in the field and work. How about let the people you hired to do a job run their territory. If they suck then coach them up, but making everyone do busy work is just pissing the good ones off and out the door. End of the year and 1st of year allows many opportunities so management blew it trying to motivate for a last push. I don’t spend my free time doing non sense busy work so your taking people out of the field. After the prison like POA how would anyone have any motivation to actually care enough to work anyway.
Like you I will not waste a single moment of my time on Josh’s busy work. I’m doing all of this shit during the work day. Idiot had a real opportunity to create a unique culture and break away from the AA micro approach. He chose to double down. Bad move dummy.
I agree! No more doing expense reports or transferring data from one spreadsheet to another at night . Why do these manager and corporate idiots think busy work is going to magically help us? Or maybe they are just trying to work the hell out of us with some sick sense of belief it's gonna make a difference in numbers......people can check the boxes all day long and play your babysitting game but it's only making the morale obsolete. I know a few people who has tremendous numbers and don't work for shit. They are getting their asses kissed and unable to even have a decent clinical conversation.
I need some advice: I'm required to collect 50-60% sig calls during the day .... bc my manager is being crazy over that. He checks to make sure that all reps in district reps getting their calls/sigs from 3-4 offices/address. I'm forced to do 10 in-services a week. I even have to email my weekly in-service schedule to my boss (I hear most managers are requiring it now). I also have to get my first sig between 8-8:30am and last one around 5. I'm expected to work through lunch (in-service) each day, drop food off to an office for my second spend a day and execute 2-3 programs a quarter. I want to do admin work during business hours... but how do you find the time. I'm tired, over it and burned out .....greedy sick company.
I'm so tired.. i'm not making sense. He is making sure that 9-10 calls/ sigs are not coming from just 3-5 offices. Sigs /calls need to come from 10 different offices or more.
Wait .... Acording to to your math you actually have to be in front of customers between 8:30 and 5? Holy crap - that is almost like having a 9-5 office job with a commute. But I guess they get to drive whatever car that they want on their commute...
You have the easiest job everybyou lazy littard. You have probably never worked a real day in your pathetic life. Toxic cultures are direct reflection of pathetic leaders. Everyone knows that past junior high
you can log in Veeva that you are taking admin time. It's actually been mandated by HR that we get admin time to do some of these tasks. Otherwise, we could have a case for a lawsuit due to hours worked. They want to do everything in their power to make sure reps are not being instructed to work more hours than contracted. If you ever get anything in writing from your boss about working more hours or doing this stuff on your own time, keep it and show it to HR
I know so many people interviewing right now, deciding between offer letters (don’t want to make a mistake like salix is), have jobs lined up for Jan 2nd (or before, waiting for bonus day), and some just woke up and started looking. The good news is - for the few of you who don’t leave. Your managers will be busy helping each other interview replacement reps for the massive exit that’s about to unfold ... onboarding these new people will eat up their time resulting in a break of ride alongs. I would HATE to be in HR - it’s has to be worst than our job. The revolving door here is nonstop.
Ha Ha Ha!!! Nothing of the sort has been mandated by HR for Salix employee's. If you are a rent a rep (contract) that's a different story- but you are also not dealing with Valeant HR- maybe you should try the other company board to bitch about how much work you have to do for your contract job.
Josh wants you to leave. The idea of a mass exodus makes him jizz in his giant pants. If he has his way, every existing TM will be replaced by a newbie fresh out of the Ricoh copier training program. Don’t overestimate your value to the company. We are all replaceable.
Great point. There is no money for the old timer's. Young simple-minded idiots will think the best job ever.
If you don’t leave, Josh will make sure you get cut for some trumped up BS. It’s already beginning. Toxic doesn’t begin to describe the culture here.
Or you could just work .... Most pharma co's have someone who likes to make sure we all aren't out playing golf (at the same time anyway)
