Diary from January 8, 2013…see next video of our future pharma marketer below.
This might not be so bad after all. I’ve got enough books and magazines to keep me occupied for awhile, and three months worth of food and water. The satellite dish seems to be really screwed up, though.
Who am I kidding? I’ll go berserk down here! What I really want to do is go back to work—sit in my cubicle and work on sales force tactics like I used to. But the company doesn’t need people like me now—when Smileor-EX went off patent, we thought we’d have the typical pharma restructuring. Wrong! Instead we got a “paradigm shift” from senior management—from now on we’d be more “customer-centric.” They should call it a “paradigm shaft” if you ask me. I’ll shift their paradigms! The only shift I noticed was the one that shifted my butt right out the door. They said we were on “indefinite leave,” but that’s a nice way of telling us we’re toast. Oh, well—even if I still had a job it wouldn’t be safe to go to work right now.
The one thing that haunts me is the big question—where did we go wrong? Or did we? How did pharma become the enemy? Nobody complains when someone makes millions on teeth whiteners, iPhones, or designer luggage. But try to make a living off something important like curing disease, and suddenly you’re public enemy #1. People now trust used car dealers more than us! Depressing. That’s all until tomorrow—time for dinner. I wonder what kind of wine goes best with Vienna Sausage?
