Amgen is buying into the BS of reach/frequency. From 7, to 9 and now 10 calls. Next year it will be 12, 15 or 20?

Tired of the constant pressure in an environment of instability and insecurity. Tired of the paralysis the fear causes--afraid to take on any financial obligations because worried the job will end before I can pay them off (i.e., new car, different house, education costs). Tired of the posturing, brown nosing, and internal politics of pharma.
Downsizing is constant. Backstabbing culture. This is encouraged among fellow reps and of managers to their reps. Barely existent bosses or opposite, micro-managers who will wipe multiple reps out in a year to take the fall for their poor management decisions and virtually non-existent Managed care contracts. Hired too many reps to "fix" it just to answer to wall street and downsize by at least 1/4. Some with only three weeks of experience. The ones who know how to do the job get let go or leave of their own volition to be happier. Worse company ever at launching new drugs! Antiquated thought processes in today's environment. Metrics of A,B, and C targets is ridiculous for a biologic. CIA is killing ability to do anything helpful at fear of being fired. Absolutely miserable. Can't wait to get out!
