There is zero value in this job and no, I will not leave.
If you truly believe that you are informing HCP’s about unique and life saving therapies, that you are educating HCP’s and that you truly bring value to clinics then you are an absolute parasite upon humanity. This job is a joke. The only thing fulfilling is my paycheck which I happily accept and will continue to accept for very little effort expended on my part.
The reality is that we remain employed because pharmaceutical companies have no creativity and refuse to accept that the sales model that may have worked in 1972 no longer works. To change that would require actual work and leadership which this company is devoid of. They are more concerned with managing to maintain their own employment and the silly sales rep job is necessary for that.
Post COVID19 will impact this industry like no other event to date. Clinics have wrestled with access for years and moving forward, forget it. Whatever access your geography enjoyed prior will be about 50% moving forward.
I’m a realist, as such, I know that I’m a number on a ledger to this company. I’m a tool they use for various reasons. That’s it, nothing more and nothing less. They send me money in exchange for an agreed upon amount of effort. I will admit that for the last 10 years I have not lived up to my end of that bargain. I really don’t care. Those of you who are moralist can go fuck yourselves. I will take their money as long as they provide it and I will put forth as little effort as I can get away with.
