Job satisfaction issue

Guest
Just checking in to see if anyone else is having morale issues. I used to love my job and got great satisfaction in what I felt was value given to the offices. With all the changes, it is just different. I am doing what the company wants but feel very empty. I share the messages and work hard to increase my sales but I am just feeling empty. Not good.
 

Right after the merger, AZ reps came on this thread to tell us how toxic AZ was. They were right. AZ destroyed Medi, plain and simple. Their "big pharma" attitude has literally poisoned us. Seek out an AZ rep and ask them how they like the company and their job. AZ is totally toxic.

You're not alone with those sentiments. Hang in there.
 
I used to feel like I was making a contribution and that I was respected in most of my accounts. Now I can't contribute much and what I can do and say is irrelevant. I had an office manager say to me recently that she was surprised that I was still employed because I am so shackled to worthlessness. I am hanging in, doing what I can, countingdownto the inevitable layoff. I hope it's a layoff payoff and not a firing b-fing. Nothing will surprise me at this point.

Really??? Getting certified at a regional meeting? What kind of crap is that and I can't believe mark hitz went along with that crap.

No doubt that your peers are feeling the same way - my advice is fourfold:

1.) try adding Cymbalta to your normal anti-depressant regimen

2.) "The biggest mistake that you can make is to believe that you are working for somebody else. Job security is gone. The driving force of a career must come from the individual. Remember; Jobs are owned by the company; you own your career" (Earl Nightingale)

3.) take a risk - move on - away from the micro-task management environment. When a sales organization can no longer affect SALES RESULTS, they default to measuring SALES ACTIVITY. It will not get any better at Medi no matter who the senior management dejour is. They will plunder and build their resumes and then move on to plunder and resume build somewhere else (seriously, your name is "Topher"...great little nickname for a toddler..how did you not get the crap kicked out of you in Prep school?)

4.) when a sales organization has moved into "Activity Measurement Mode" even a "good" manager will go "bad" - it's called self-preservation...or as the Plumbers Union is fond of saying: Shit flows down hill ...

Stay thirsty my friend!
 
I think what is really sad is it is never the most qualified, smartest, top producer that gets recognized. It is always who had a scotch with who...if it was a good scotch, they get an award for something pointless at the next meeting.
