Obamacare and open enrollment?

What's up with the open enrollment for October? Anyone hear anything? Is Obamacare going to blow out our premiums, deductibles and coverage for family? Radio silence from HR, wonder what that is all about?
 

They are thinking of who to lay off so they can afford it

Haha! Humor is what makes the world go 'round. This place is so ridiculous.

-It's the middle of the day, why aren't you working? Oh, trust me, I'm working. I'm just taking a break from admin & sitting in a waiting room. I just wanted to vent a little. It helps to know that we're not alone, and that we are all actually REALLY GREAT at our jobs. WE are great reps and our company is lucky to have us. Them talking to us like we're stupid or giving us passive responses that don't give us a result to how we will achieve our goals and make money is frustrating, but I'm happy that I'm not alone. We are great reps, and they are lucky to have us. They will realize it when we leave.

-The economy is bad: You guys should be grateful you even have a job. Me: I see a rep leave the company making a huge increase, & I give a blank stare.
-Healthcare premiums: Obama care is forcing us to reallocate the cost to you all. Sorry. It's the government. Me: Blank stare.
-We now pay taxes on our cars. Aptalis: everyone is doing it, we're behind the times. Me: Friends with other companies, do you pay taxes on your car? Pharma reps: Hell no! Your company is screwing you. Me: Blank stare
-We now sell way more drugs than we should. It's embarrassing & makes us look like a "me too" company & all of the drugs are dependent on the other so we don't make bonus: Me: blank stare.
-Our goals look funky, & no one will explain. Company: Everyone is in the same boat. Me: Blank stare
-Reps out of training get a higher bonus than we do, & they didn't sell a damn thing. Company: That's not true. Me: Blank stare.
-We'll give you extra days off over christmas, but that is to not piss off the reps who had to put in several years of service to receive extra vacation days. Company: Be happy that we even gave you those days. Be happy you even have a job. Me: It's not fair. Company: blank stare.
-Take time out of territory to complete your admin work, but don't take time out of territory. Me: I don't want to take any time out of territory. I want to sell! I'll do admin on my own time, but not every night, so stop giving me busy work that interferes with my family. Company: You know your job isn't 9-5 Me: blank stare.
-call on these compounding pharmacies, get your head chewed off, & try to get recitv stocked, but we won't tell you that you won't get credit on the majority of them.
-how did we lose so much business? managed care...nope...that shouldn't have affected you. Work harder. Me: blank stare.
-"why aren't you reaching goals?" My baseline is not correct, how are they coming up with that? "Everyone is in the same boat. Work harder." Me: blank stare.
-"do this report, why are you losing?" -Me: blank stare...the primary care reps HVP's are still in my data. It's not an accurate report. I'd rather not get pissed off that I can't easily do an accurate report, so I just want to sell. That, okay? "Why are you losing for this physician?" He's not mine...(Company: blank stare) I need you to send me a business plan. Me: I want to know how my goals are factored for enzymes. (Company: blank stare). Fine, I'll give you a useless report. Have fun with it.
-"Why didn't you respond to my email by 5PM with that assignment I just sent you from corporate." I was in the field...wait...what am I supposed to do again? Didn't I just do that? Fine, I'll give up another night of my life. Sorry family, I can't go to your ball game.
-Conference call time in the middle of the day again! Yay!!!! We just want to talk to you guys. We just like to talk...we're like a bunch of 90 year olds that just want to talk. Give us your feedback. What's working? Oh...that's really great. That's so great. What's not working? Oh...well...that's not the case. It must be an isolated incident. (sweeps under the rug & hopes the forget) Me: blank stare
-Office day? Haha! Why did it take you so long to finish your extra busy work? You're exaggerating. Me: Blank stare.

What happened to our company culture? Why does the sales force get shitted on so much? (pun intended.)

Though a little fragmented, THIS MUST BE ONE OF THE ALL TIME BEST POSTS ON CP EVER!!!!

This is Craptalis in a nutshell. Mgmt doesn't get it so they ask for busy reports to see if YOU know why everything is effed up. Just go do it and stop asking why, b/c WE know better. Read the above post carefully. RT and his band of assclowns will screw this place up further before you realize it's time to leave. When the rules change bonus gets cut, then it's time to get out. Recall the Quintiles screwup last year...this was all RT, the soldiers all lined up and said yes and the sales force treated the Q people like shit b/c mgmt messed it up. RT and crew will be the demise.
 
Hilarious...and keeps getting funnier EVERY time I read it! Loved the question about the new IC plan bonus structure ...."did you calculate bonuses under the old plan versus the new model to determine if we would be paid more/less"? Company: nope, blank stare. And our recent hot-air contest, kudos to those who won, did it matter that some weren't even in the field during contest period? Everyone: blank stare.
Admin time...what's that? Never had it, all. All nights and weekends, Family: blank stare.
 
Why aren't I working? What you can't access the internet on your I phone? You don't know about I phones, really you are that pathetic? That ignorant? That stupid? You assume I'm not working because I have internet access on my I phone? And you are in management? You are a typical Aptalis manager, incompetent and way over your head!
