Truce App?

Don’t feel alone. I am in Rheumatology and have two partners and we cannot see anyone either AND our manager knows we don’t have access. What are we supposed to do?

 

Is it fair you are a sales rep that can't sell, but still employed?

Have you no empathy for our shareholders?

If you had a modicum of self-respect you would find a real job.

 

Yes it's fair. It's the nature of the business. If that person wasn't doing the job, then somebody else would be. Life isn't ever fair. Some people get lucky and some people don't. If a pharmaceutical wants to hire someone and overpay them for a closed out territory then great. Good for that person who gets hired. It's only a matter of time before we all get caught for being home most of the day.

 

You fall into category of unlucky. A lonely unemployed gay janitor loser who’s only friend is the cafe.

 

Internal folks are being tracked too. Google the Truce App. Read what it's capabilities truly are. If you try to access sites outside of your normal work feeds, it can shut you down in the workspace environment..ie. you can't access the world wide web unless you are in the break room.

You can go to work in fear, or you can just go to work. If you are trying to hide activities that corporate won't approve of, you are in danger. On the other hand, if you are working to the best of your ability and are not continuously parked in front of a bar, strip club, your house, or your other job....you will be fine.

Grow up, do your job, don't abuse the freedom you have....you will be fine

 

Just started looking into this app. Simply crazy. Tracked 24/7. No information on it other than "get it installed." No other pharma companies are doing this

 

Truth spoken here. This job is a joke. We may be getting tracked but for Christ’s sake this is the only job where you won’t lose your job for being a below average earner. It’s incredible. Stop complaining.

 

I left Lilly in 2016 after being there for 15 years.

Lilly was once an incredible place to work and up until my last year and then it became an awful place to work.

Lilly started taking away everything that made it great. They became extremely controlling and almost paranoid and I see it's actually getting worse!

I decided to go to a small biotech company and am shocked at the differences. Huge salary increase. No weird tracking devices. We don't even have calls per day requirements. If you're not selling, you don't get scripts and my new company wouldn't put up with that for long.

We are treated like adults. We have excellent benefits, lots of vacation, my pay has literally more than doubled, we don't have roommates at meetings and I drive a Toyota Highlander. (Sorry, but company cars do matter a bit) We also still have awards trips.

My territory is huge, but I like travel and now have a ton of frequent flyer miles and hotel points which are mine to use.

Leave big pharma if you can. You'll love the change!

 

Lilly is not the only company doing tracking - so is Amgen and they hate it.

 

This just isn’t fair. We can’t see customers and now we are going to have to drive to there offices even if they aren’t there? This seems so stupid. Will we get fired if our Veeva calls don’t match where our calls are? What are we to do? If they fire one person will they have to fire everyone? They will need to treat everyone the same so I hope they treat everyone the same. Will all my projects help me stay? I am on many committees and National groups so will that help keep my job? This is crazy. It feels very intrusive to watch everywhere we go.

 

I once worked for a start up company where I had to use my own vehicle. When hired, I was told the reimbursement process worked by logging mileage manually onto the fleet management website. Then, some suit in HQ had the bright idea of mandating the use of a GPS mileage app to "see what a rep's day looks like." I found a new job fast! Not that I had anything to hide, but if I wanted to stop in a store over my lunch hour, I didn't want to be accountable to some bean-counter that had no idea what went into doing my job.

I feel for you all, but I'm afraid every company will be going this route. It's just like the old days of "paper vs computer".

 

Does this app give the company access to personal texts/emails from personal device?

 

Wow- you've really made it! LOL!!

 

Any way can get around this APP?

 

Thank you! I sure did!!! I left a joke of a job and love my new one. LOL

You're clearly an idiot and didn't bother to read my entire post. LOL.

The main point I was making....never mind. You're an idiot so I won't continue to waste my own time. LOL
