"I don't want to know. Just tell me when it's done."
6 months pass...
"When is this going to be done? What about this [pointless task]? You're going to do this tomorrow, don't you think? I think it should take a week" etc. etc.

Yea, there were numerous times where project managers that I worked under would sluff off their to me and I'd say, well I'll add it to my other projects...
Course my other projects usually lasted really long amounts of time and when they'd come around asking about that was on perpetual back burner they'd freak out...
Idiots. |

| It's their responsibility if the project isn't finished, so at the end of the day they should be managing the project effectively. |

Pharmaceuticals is a lot different to other sales though. Sales here is actually pretty decent and we make far better money than other sales jobs. |
Thanks to pharmaceutical companies i haven't bought a pen in 6 yrs of nursing :stongue: |

No its different, youre basically a legal drug dealer. I imagine that just like you never hear the other drug dealer complaining how he just cant seem to get rid of all this coke and weed, selling happy pills to people cant be all that hard either :D

Selling shiny things to the gormless masses of rampant consumerism never gets old. Soul destroying? I think if you're bad at it and having to contend with endless rejection it would probably be fairly terrible, but professional sales where you're dragging in 10's of thousands for a long term deal in bonuses or if I sell a house for hundreds of thousands in profit was a rush. |
The nice bonuses are the only reason i might still go back into sales one day. Quit my sales job almost 2 years ago now, havent really worked since (took time off to finish school school and work on some pet projects) and im still living on that last phat bonus. |

This one is a homeowner. I never even MET the guy until we were 18 months into the project, because he just sent his 22-year-old son to deal with it (his twin brother was put in charge of all decorating and re-modeling, so the parents wouldn't have to meet the designer or builder, either), and now he's asking me about every single thing in the house.
There are so few people who actually are hands-off like that, but it's looked upon as such a 'cool' trait (especially in Hollywood and the world of biographies) that s everywhere want to use it to justify their behavior and as a claim to their imagined business acumen. Then this happens. |

They're selling to doctors, not patients.
It may be different over there, but here, due to legislation over the past decade or two, there is a lot less that they can (legally) give to doctors, and without the crazy amount of freebies they used dole out (I'm not talking about pens and stress balls), the reps here are viewed by most doctors here as anywhere from unnecessary to as an unbearable annoyance and get a good helping of abuse throughout the day. |

Guess you guys passed similar stuff, after all. :p |

| We sure did. In fact it's worse here but if you build good relationships with people, it's not really a big loss in the long run. Pharmacists sometimes complain but bad luck. |
