There is something seriously wrong...



Your morbidly obese girlfriend told me you can't get it up anymore and the only reason you got hired is because you gave blowjobs to Robert Jindal and the Scotsman in the filthy honey bucket a half a mile from the home office.
 
It's not so much that you need a degree to do his job; what bothers me is the fact the man never carried a bag, never encountered the challenges we face, never led a district, etc., but now is in the position he is in.
I think he is totally clueless about what we do everyday, (which is pretty much all "cover your ass"), faking calls, faking call notes each and every day just to get by, because there is no other way anymore. It was bad 3-4 years ago, and with COVID 19 its only got worse.

He is no idea how unfair it is to hold people accountable when they have absolutely no power or control over what they have to accomplish. If the office is closed or closed to reps what is the rep supposed to do? Force his way in with a gun to talk to the doctor?

I never understand this argument. If you really can’t get in there (and I’m not saying you can or can’t) then we why do they need you? Think about it. What is the alternative?

They really don't need me or anyone else in that territory, because it is 99% closed and it will never change for the better. But, management has decided, they wanted to place a person in that territory, regardless. It absolutely makes no sense and is a total waste of money. But, if I don't get the pay check, someone else will.

As far as alternatives are concerned... There aren't any. Sometimes you have to accept the fact that there are no solutions to a given problem. Just because you want 1+1 to equal 3, doesn't mean you can make it happen. Or, to put it another way...you can polish a horse's apple as much as you want, it will never be gold!

Imagine for a moment you get thrown in jail. You call your father asking on advice how to get out.

Says he: "Get creative"
"Find a way"
"Think out of the box"
"It can be done"

Sound familiar?...empty worthless phrases that our managers use every day while getting paid thousands of Dollars. Of course, they have no REAL answers, but that doesn't matter. What matters is that they talked without saying something...

That was my point.
 
Ever work in low tech or less profitable industry? Maybe a summer job in college? There was no pretending there. You were either succeeding or you were out. Places that had low ROI were shut down.
We don’t do that here because managers and directors need headcount to keep their jobs. You go around closing unsustainable territories, the next thing you know a district gets collapsed. Enough of these and there goes a region.
I can’t wait to see the results of the money this company spent on our transformation in a couple of weeks.

Totally agree. I wouldn't mind if half of the DM's and RSD's are let go. What do they contribute if anything?

When was the last time a DM told you something that you were really thankful for? Something that helped you, made you a better sales person, ...anything?
 
Otsuka rep Betty Bigboobs worked as a rep one year and then died. The pathologist wrote on the death certificate "overworked" as the cause of death.

Betty went to heaven where she met God. The two sat down and Betty said: "Hey pal, I am only 23, don't you think it's a bit early to die?

God said: "Hmmm, I added up all the calls you entered into your computer, and according to that number I figured you were 88 years years old..."
 
Johnny Sampledropper's company car broke down. So he decided to use instead to make "sales calls".

He rides into town and attaches his horse in front of the saloon for a few beers before proceeding, sticks his finger in the horse's ass and wipes his lips.

Then he goes in the saloon.

The bar tender, who saw this, asks him: "Why did you do that?"

"Chapped lips"

"Well yes, but..."

Johnny: "Prevents me from licking them"
