VP of Sales for CeraVe/LRP FIRED!!!!!!!

Perhaps she should get a new job working on the back of a garbage truck. After all, she's used to treating people like garbage. Who's next? The GM? The drunk HR director? The Backlicker RD/Meeting Planner in VA?

 

This sight can be used constructively to call out unethical behavior or policies that just don’t work in the real world (like stacked ranking due to zip codes). Using language like the above, including potentially unfounded claims makes the whole section look like a bunch of filthy mouthed complainers. How about instead we focus on facts and not name calling?

 

The release of JT has been a long time coming, and she wasn't alone with all the treatment of the sales team. The head of L'Oréal needs to take notice and be aware of what's been going on the last four years. Open your eyes to all those involved, she didn't act alone.

 

I was part of the team before JT and there were problems but it was not enough samples etc not the insanity that came with her. I left after a while because i could see where it was going. it used to be a little family. I am back in pharma and it is not as fun but it is a normal sales team with a normal bonus plan.

 

JT's position was posted on Indeed. Whoever will be able to fill her shoes? Job Description below. Notice the emphasis on "CRM" / GPS tracking....
