Performance

Quote



Not knowing anything else, it’s hard to say. Just remember these scales are set up to create fear in you. No matter how well you do in any category it won’t be enough. It is an old school way of managing that still works on some employees. Best way to fight it is to politely ask for reasons why, and look for another job.
 


So I have a theory that our leaders are not reporting all of our sales. I know my territory better than anyone at Abbvie. I have been covering the same area for 10 years and have some solid relationships. I know for a fact that my accounts are purchasing more than is being reported. Before a snarky remark is made, a few of my purchasers have shown me their purchase orders. It’s not a crazy amount but enough to
Cause concern. This place is a toxic cesspool. I am looking elsewhere but amazing these douchebags in leadership act the way they do.

I cannot agree more. I got a two last year - my first ever in a decade. The person that gave it to me moved on after it read it to me! I had no recourse and when I tried to switch divisions, I was told I could not because if had to get out of the "2". Complete BS, but, I have been looking for a better gig. Not just to jump, but a REAL upgrade. Jumping is easy, REAL upgrades are harder. But, right after I get my bonus payout - I AM OUT!!!!! The 2 is a death sentence.
 




I received a 3 winning summit. So yes, those annual performance reviews can be bs. One thing for sure is the company will bleed talent. The work culture is so toxic the last 4 years. Unfortunately I don’t see a light at the end of the tunnel but to only find a better job elsewhere.
 


I won Summit in 2017 and “earned a 3”. It’s not just numbers! 2016, I earned a 2 because I had bad numbers. THE DIFFERENCE WAS managed care. Nobody will loose their job for low numbers, they will get you on something else, the 2 is to get you to start looking. I have never met a 5.

We know you and you should have received a lowly 1. Being in the same territory for 10 years indicates a lack of ambition and a sloth-like approach to your job. We all hope you will be leaving ASAP. Unfortunately, pharma sales is populated by so many losers like you.
 


Come on now, you know everyone at Abbvie gets a 2 or a 3. Like the post said earlier, Abbvie would give Jesus himself a 3, so what incentive is there to do anything more? So some asshat drone of a sales manager can dangle the carrot in hopes of the all-elusive 4? Abbvie is herd mentality. No reason to bust your ass.
 




Fraud alert! The system is rigged to this industry's advantage. In many industries, people work 60 to 80 hours per week for a 50 to 70k salary. In this industry, people work less than 40 hours per week for a 80 to 100k salary. The sloth is pharma. You might argue that your products increase the quality of life rather than life expectancy. You'd be wrong. While life expectancy is flat to decreasing, try working 60 to 80 hours per week and tell me about your quality of life.

How about less than 20 hours per week for a 80 to 100k salary!! Appreciate your truthful post.
 




Honestly it’s a dumb ass job. Even the smartest people here are not needed. Just follow the process and you should be good. They need us until they have a better solution.

We will be replaced by ai soon enough.

Well your English sucks. Let me guess you are putting in those hours and calls…fake calls, every day. And really adding value to the company yada yada. Give me a break dude. You couldn’t work a full 40 hrs if you tried. It is not reality. If you are in sales at this level, they should be paying you for expertise, not hours. If you need a full 40 hrs to hit goal, you suck at this. Go work at Wendy’s if you want hourly pay.

The American Decline is real. Be sure that great big huge fat guy gets my email, he isn't far from death in his current state. Better yet, tell his physician to call him on Monday. He can ignore my email, and I won't care because at least I said something. God provides sound advice, he doesn't believe in stealing people's land or dropping bombs on those he hates. He might urinate in your car if you've been naughty. So, be on your best behavior. I have an imagination, which you can't buy. Also, I see things others ignore or don't see at all.
