I have extensive experience successfully launching and growing share for multiple pain medications over two decades working for Merck, Organon, Lilly, Pfizer and Mallinckrodt. During the patent cliff years, I had multiple interviews with Purdue. The requisite manager interview question of "What sets you apart from your peers?" always came up. I candidly stated that I am honest and ethical while doing my best to balance the best interests of the patients, providers and organization that I represent. I was never called back for a second interview with Purdue. I was hired to promote a naloxone/buprenorphine product for opioid addicted patients to addiction medicine specialists. I was repeatedly named the MVP of my region growing share with NRxs. Honest and ethical were not traits that Purdue managers were seeking in a rep. Most are out of jobs today as Purdue attempts to reach out-of-court settlements and files for bankruptcy. In hindsight, I was blessed by not getting hired by Purdue and having that stain of tenure on my resume. Keep those billion dollar wire transfers cranking to the Swiss bank accounts Sackler heirs.
LOL!! Sounds like sour grapes that the company did not see what a prize you are. Seems as though after numerous interviews
The "stain" on the resume is a myth. Many of us ( myself included ) have landed much better roles with much better salaries. Some have not and some have let the "stain" be an excuse. Life is all about moving on and not letting one job define you.
To the OP, you seriously dodged a bullet. Your only mistake was repeatedly interviewing for this hell hole of a company. The idiots who have "moved on" will have karma catch up with them at some point. Their pockets are lined with blood-soaked money and they will pay at some point in the future
All P employees knew what was going on for years. They stayed at the company because of greed. They had no scruples!! Money was more important than their fellow man. All of you should be going to jail!!! Forever!! Getting away with what you did is incomprehensible to me. You are scum!!
Sure the Purdue reps all believed the Koolaid about helping the pts blah, blah, blah,,, talking with docs about end of life pts and easing their pain made them feel good...then the bonus checks started rolling in.... call plan updated with calls to sleazy clinics, family practices, urgent cares .. little self standing P.A. offices with 'challenged' pt. community...don't ask too many questions. anybody with an Rx pad would do...its legal right?
yep, it’s incomprehensible that there are people like that. The public’s perception about Pharma is correct!!! Worse than Tobacco companies!!
At some point you have to take responsibility for your choices and actions and stop blaming companies, your parents or “the man”.
