And thanks for adding a 2 hour commute each way to my new territory in another state with your ingenious re-org.
You, are a full fledged idiot. A full 8 hour day of management BS is circle-jerking in meetings that everyone participating knows mean absolutely nothing because their sales forces can't interact with their targets and they damn well know it. Managers have honed their skills for decades spending all their time propping up this guise in order to remain employed themselves. But please, do go on, on how a rep driving 4 hours a day improves sales of our products or the lives of anyone. Jackass.
They’re expanding territories another 80 miles again next month. Now I’ll be driving 8 hours a day. Since we are salary, we have no choice and are likely looking at 12 hour work days. I’ll be leaving my house at 6am and won’t get home till 6pm. I need this job so I’ll drive and keep my mouth shut.
Review company policy on what distance from home qualifies for an overnight stay. It used to be over 75 miles. It requires the company to pay for hotel, dinner and breakfast. Unless the policy changes since I left.
Two big problems with that. First, that option means even more time away from my family, not less. Second, staying the night in the far corners of my gigantic territory tanks my call average and puts me on a PIP sooner.
Hey now, JNJ tryna turn working fathers working mothers by giving them tits. jnj solving problems not making them.
There’s been no word of territories changing again since all territories butt up to one another now instead of overlapping I can’t see them having reps travel 4 hours each way; it doesn’t even make sense.
"Management" is literally the evolution of tenured reps playing the game successfully enough for decades purely to meet their individual needs. Therefore "management" should and does know more than anyone that no matter how tenured, no rep will quit without being thrown off the bus. Also, they know the same fate awaits them too. Good times.
I am so stupid! I actually worked TWO different jobs today trying to do my new job, jump through hoops on conference calls and “transitioning” my old accounts.
