Unethical GSK

let's start a list, what have you seen through the years that makes you question why we stay here?

 

Tests where I was never able to see my actual score or questions I missed. Completely unethical! How have we not been sued for this?

 

- Tests where couldn’t see scores
- “Calibrations” aka let’s script out performance.
- The Sales contest we had in 2016 that went against CIA agreement. It was called something else though?
- The SEC coaches being coached up what to say.
- Being punishes if we left advair.
- Being judged on sales.

 

GSK Shoving the COCO bullshit down the sales force throat to justify the funds the spent on “consultants”

 

Punished by my manager with a shitty calibration score because she was pissed at me & I refused to kiss her ass. Oh and how about the half-wits that have been promoted in record time because they kiss an astronomical amount of ass??

 

i reported in to one of the dumbest managers in history and she had a diabolical dumb streak (marina v of philly). I could not kiss her ass and she became unbearable. What is wrong with these idiots?

 

Don’t you understand? GSK has been screwed up every since they merged with skb. You are in a toxic environment. You have 3 options;

Option 1 - continue to sell your soul to the company for salary and benefits. Or
Option 2 - quit and work someone else. Or
Option 3 - devise a plan to get bought out!

I worked a plan that took the better part of a year to get bought out. It was clever and conformed to everything hr wanted. It drove my go crazy. I documented everything.

Pick an option?

 

You forgot to add class action law suit or whistle blower statute. Gotta tell ya, this company has done it all and most if it has been bad! Do you realize that the company fought an "overtime lawsuit" that went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court? GSK prevailed in the case which was to identify reps as non-exempt employees. Meaning that reps have no official working hours. Just a basic structure around our days. In the end, we, reps, are allowed by law to work as much or as little as it takes to get our jobs complete. Since we are not paid on individual sales, we should have a very flexible schedule. Let me ask you, has your FLL or FVP mentioned this to you? I ask because as I said, GSK took this issue all the was to the U.S. Supreme Court. You can google GSK Class Action Overtime and read for yourself. Ask your FLL about this. See what he or she has to say. I'm telling you, GSK screwed themselves on this one. At least for those of us who know about this litigation.

 

GSK the “Ted Bundy” of medicine.

 

Sorry, but if you are working overtime in this company then you are doing it wrong,

 

Ahhhh, i see you have been around a while because you know that when Glaxo started merging it was over! I worked for years at Glaxo and it was something completely separate from what it became after mergers; we sold drugs and were treated well and respectfully. The ONLY thing left from the original is the name, the end really came when SKB dominated with its totally toxic work environment. And for those of you thinking viiv is your solution you can forget about that, it’s just as bad and just because it’s profitable does not mean you will be treated well. It may be worse because the stakes are high and multiple reps on each prescriber plus a manager that functions more like a lead rep always pestering you make it miserable.

Not sure what the last double post was about. This company is unethical and it stems from leadership..most of it SKB heritage. Been with the company 23 years and I have seen a lot. Bottom line, I need this gig to pay the mortgage and bills. Cant wait to be able to call it quits. As for now, I just put my head down and do my best. Try as best as I can to ignore managements fire drills. What else is a hard working guy to do?

 

what else? The right thing. Build the file, work with the HHS and put it in GSK’s A$$ and break it off!

 

Agree let it go and put in your 20 hours a week.

 

Don’t give your “soul” to GSK....there is life out there... I promise! Believe it or not, we do have a life outside of GSK. I recently left and I definitely would consider it toxic work environment bc of my boss and leadership as well as strategy ( not my team) love my team and region. I was heavily recruited for other positions on linked in. However, I felt next to dirt bc of my boss. Don’t sell you set short! Also, stand up to leadership and stand up for what up truly believe in, and don’t be a pawn in someone else’s game! Not worth it! I was with the company about 5 years for a manger who was extremely defensive and unprofessional and I had to leave and since then I have felt great.

 

This!! 100%!!!

 

NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. — American children are already being prescribed various types of medications at exceedingly high rates to begin with, but a new study conducted at Rutgers University finds that the frequency of off-label medication orders for children is on the rise as well.

“Off-label” refers to a medication being used to treat a different diagnosis or symptoms that it was approved to treat by the FDA. An example of an off-label med prescription for a child would be a doctor recommending anti-depressant medication for ADHD symptoms.

The research team were alarmed by their findings, and believe this study illustrates a glaring need for improved oversight and regulation when it comes to ensuring that children are prescribed safe, and effective, medication.

Data collected between 2006-2015 by the CDC and Prevention’s National Ambulatory Medical Care Surveys was analyzed for the study. More specifically, researchers looked at information on doctor’s office visits all over the United States, and investigated the frequency, trends, and reasons why doctors prescribed off-label meds for individuals under the age of 18.

In many ways, this study is incredibly overdue — it is the first in a decade to look at trends among non-hospital doctors prescribing off-label medicine to children. Researchers focused specifically on systemic drugs, or drugs that work throughout the body but also carry a greater chance of toxicity.

According to researchers, many of the off-label drugs being prescribed to children by doctors all over the country haven’t even been properly tested among adolescent populations.

“Off-label medications – meaning medications used in a manner not specified in the FDA’s approved packaging label – are legal. We found that they are common and increasing in children rather than decreasing,” comments senior author Daniel Horton, assistant professor of pediatrics and a pediatric rheumatologist at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, in a release.“However, we don’t always understand how off-label medications will affect children, who don’t always respond to medications as adults do. They may not respond as desired to these drugs and could experience harmful effects.”

The research team studied an estimated two billion adolescent visits to a physician, and found that in about 19% of those visits the doctor ordered one or more off-label systemic drugs. Most of the time, these drugs were intended to treat a common problem, such as asthma or a respiratory infection. Among visits that resulted in at least one prescription, off-label drugs were ordered in 83% of newborn visits, 49% of infant visits, and about 40% of visits among other adolescent ages.

The study also noted that prescription of off-label meds has increased over time; among visits that resulted in at least one prescription, off-label rates increased from 42% in 2005 to 47% by 2015.

Interestingly, girls and children with chronic conditions seemed to be prescribed off-label meds more often than other patients. Furthermore, doctors practicing medicine in southern U.S. states exhibited higher instances of off-label drug orders than doctors from other areas of the country. Doctors focusing on a specific medical field, commonly referred to as specialists, also ordered off-label meds more often than general practitioners.

The most common off-label drugs prescribed by doctors included antihistamines for respiratory infections, anti-depressants for ADHD, and numerous types of antibiotics for respiratory infections.

“Despite the laws in this country and Europe that encourage and require research on medications for children, we found that physicians are increasingly ordering certain medications off-label for children,” Horton says. “Use of some off-label drugs is supported by high-quality evidence. For example, drugs approved to prevent vomiting caused by chemotherapy also work quite well in treating more common causes of vomiting in children, such as from viruses. We need this kind of evidence to determine the appropriateness of use of many other drugs currently used off-label to treat a wide range of conditions in children.”

The study is published in the scientific journal Pediatrics.

 

To post #18, you are missing something very important. When our son was 3 he was put on Flovent off-label, and the benefits to him and us were remarkable. No more monthly prednisone bursts, no more frequent albuterol nebulizers, no more worrying and sleepless nights. It was a huge benefit to us all, with close to no risk. If done judiciously, off-label pediatric Rx use is a win-win. Granted, it cannot be promoted as such, but many talented MDs make these clinical decisions. That piece in Pediatrics is big fat yawn.

 

ya'll need to check in with well paid whistle blowers like Blair the pear the original man boob man .
