I thought the new account management jobs would've been posted by mow. Anyone know when they'll be up?
prediction: they will hire a few incumbents and most positions will be filled by external hires. This is going to be a very different role I think … why would they have eliminated all positions and had everyone re-interview for them? Probably because they know most people won't cut it…. the role as they hired for it 5 or 6 or how ever many years ago it was, has vastly changed because the environment has changed. They need new skills for the role. It wouldn't surprise me if they were looking for people who have worked in some of these large customers -- people who know the accounts and maybe were mid or upper level managers of something non-clinical. Thats just a guess, but I would not be surprised if being with Merck is not an advantage in this particular game.
This is typical. Blanket denial. A fitting statement coming from a lot of managers here who clearly have no clue about anything...including the background, resume and credentials of many people right under their nose. Not qualified might more accurately describe some of the managers who fail to exhibit even the slightest shred of managerial prowess. I have seen time and time again people here get ahead on nothing more than power connections and prize winning AK'ing. The power mongers turn out to be the latest nightmares for reps and "role models" deficient in even the most basic of business skills. Others, who clearly have the skills, brains and talents but who will not stoop to play the games or work the system get either left in the dust or booted out to fulfill the necessary fodder requirement for cuts.
