    Just heard that another well respected senior AN rep is retiring. Don't know whether it is on his own or he is being driven out but interesting info.

    Good! The senior reps are unmanageable. Hope it's the one in NY he's been having everyone do his work for 50 years while sitting at home. Management needs to get rid of all them they're useless.

    I could care less about the individual you refer to. However, if the rest of the country could sit by the pool and have that kind of market share for that long a period of time, pina coladas for all.

    Apparently you have an issue with PN as TN does deal with market share

    When I was hired ( 15-20 yrs ) I had to take a Pych test to see if I have the right attributes to be a Abbott Sales Rep.

    As I looked over the test I saw that they asked the Same questions in slightly different ways many times to make sure I gave consistent answers. So I just told them what they wanted to hear " Miles is GOD, work 100000 hours and lay my life to make a sale etc"

    The Examiner reviewed the results and said that he can tell that I am consistently good at lying and ....." Welcome to ABBOTT., you got the job". It appears they were looking for a person who can look someone in the face and not tell the truth and stick to the same story.

    I have made my # for all these year and kissed ass to the same people I would like to slowly torture.

    WOW. There have been several threads lately about the change in management styles and philosophies and its effect on the salesforce.

    I think the OP was just commenting that another senior rep is retiring. The first responder brought up a very senior Pediartric Nutrition (PN) rep whom he apparently does not like and was corrected that is a Therapeutic Nutrition (TN) rep.

    I am familiar with both salesforces and can say there are some very talented reps, both senior and newbies, and it is unfair and incorrect to characterize them as lazy pikers. And yes, there are several that should be canned - along with their managers.

    Seems ridiculous but catering enough lunches is part of what mgt judges us on.
    Over the years how can anyone possibly figure out how they make Presidents Club. So many top reps. don't go and impossible to figure out the formula. I remember a year when it seemed like half of NYC went and then the next year a regional mgr protested all the slots going that way. Nowadays there's only 5 slots maybe per region.

    The whole evaluating system is ludicrous and upside down.

    part of the evaluation process is if management likes you. A year or so ago in the Diagnostic Service Part there were two Service (Repair Reps who earned the award). One made his "numbers" due to him LOOSING a large Hematology Account in his area. So he was not doing service calls at all and have NO Call BACKs from Customers. THE REASON was he Had NO customers !!! he lost the account but was rewarded ?

    Another One who went to Presidents Award was a TRACK Specialist (Repair person). His Hospital never was up and running by the evaluation date and he ALSO won the award for his area. HE HAD NO CALLS as he was unpacking boxes . The account was not using our system for that year as it was not up and running. I think they were using Roche.

    Insane.

    As soon as 19 cal tanks, there will be another round of reps going. Many hospitals using this change to throw us out after years of using only us. As senior reps are leaving this trend will continue. The only reason they stay with us is the REPS, not the products. anyone listening.

    Senior leadership here: what did you say? I've got my head in sand and marketing is taking a nap.
