Top outside sellers are NOT in the pharmaceutical industry.

From your favorite source of information (google) )), morons:

"Petroleum is predominantly present in medical supplies. Anything plastic, for example, is made from petrochemicals. It's used for packaging, in medical devices and supplies, and more. Pharmaceuticals represent about 3% of petrochemical use but almost 99% of pharmaceuticals contain petrochemicals."

And it is much worse than that, when you consider the chemicals used.

And most of you think cholesterol is still bad for you.

Clueless. Morons. Going nowhere in life.

Carry on.

 

Another observation that most of you are missing here is the inversion of reality in the corporate world, where men have to act very cowardly, and women are encouraged to act very aggressive.

This goes against human nature, and is another strong reason to avoid corporate sales.

Also, I would add that the lack of leadership opportunities in sales is evident, with the lack of integrity and deceit to get ahead or to get the sale.

Now, into my 50s, I STRONGLY believe that sales is for losers and people that just don't have the intelligence to explore a better way of living, instead chasing a dollar that has no organic value.

 

Great post man.

One of the issues I am having lately is just how nasty the business world has become. Perhaps it has always been that way, and my positive attitude just blocked out the jerks in the past. However, as I age, I just see the sadness and stress that this job brings. I am glad I have about 3 years left before I retire. The younger generation lacks respect, the doctors are just clueless because their education has been overtaken by the pharmaceutical/medical device industry, and the management is dysfunctional and lacking vision.

 

All of the above are correct.

Also, one of the overlooked bad aspects of this job is all the energy you expend PHYSICALLY.

The driving, the in and out of the car, the traffic, all of that is not fun. If you are in a cold weather area, you are dealing with ice, and rain and other crap. If you are in a warm weather area, you are dealing with bad drivers and stress on the roads. Even areas like Phoenix have extreme weather with all the heat. It is not healthy to be fighting those things on a day to day basis. Add all the emails, voicemails, and you have a TERRIBLE JOB/CAREER.

Deny it all you want, but this is not a good way to live.

 

The one thing that really upsets me the most is how this industry just disposes of top producers and downsizes people, year after year...despite making BILLIONS. Its beyond evil.

Those of you that continue to defend this industry need to seek some professional help for the lack of nutrients going to your brain.

 

So you come back and try to save face by pretending to be several people in a bunch of posts. Give it up. We know it is you. You got kicked out of pharma because you just couldn’t cut it. Grow up. Stick to menial retail and/or fast food jobs because that is all you can handle.
