Wait a minute. What if you can get by working a few hours a day? This job is definitely not an 8 hours per day job. It’s just not necessary. Now, a few years from now, AI will be replacing millions of workers! Are you ready, because I am not!
As long as you can successfully fake calls and you are in the upper 2/3 of your region it is not necessary...for the moment.
Fortunately, our HO - staff is too dumb to figure out the diminishing return of "sales calls", which are nothing more than sample drops. And if samples are not being used, we (myself included) stuff more samples into the closet to create the illusion samples are being used and we are "working". Basically you are right. We are blessed to have complete morons in management, both in Princeton and in the field as well. The only reason they keep us is because they would have nothing to do without us. They need us to justify their sorry existence, make our lives miserable if necessary to cover their own ass and prove their "managerial skills" to their boss, bootlicking included. If these guys had to manage a hot dog stand they would fail big time.
A I will take care of the Pharma job, given the fact that most of us see 1-3 providers a day, with nothing earth-shaking to say anyways that would motivate anyone to increase prescriptions. It's cost effective and will be much more productive.
And yes, I have prepared...milking the cow as usual. Obviously, Otsuka couldn't care less. And why not? It's not their money they are wasting, with plenty of cash coming in every month from American patients. If they were really serious about us working, management could put little GPS devices in our glove boxes. State Farm is using it for anyone who wants to get lower insurance rates. Has been available for years!
I am not driving for Uber/Lyft today. Youtube has interesting documentaries stimulating my brain, something lacking in driving for Uber or "working" for Otsuka. Besides, it's Friday!
