Do you know the annoying, pushy people that try to jump ahead of you in the doctor’s office when you’re there for a real reason? like a health issue? Yeah, those people. In between buying lunch for the doctors and schmoozing the receptionists, apparently, a few sales reps found time to conjure up a lawsuit that they should be entitled to overtime from their employers for all their hard work.
Well, the verdict from the Supreme Court with a 5-4 vote is finally in and they are NOT entitled to overtime. According to the suit, a couple sales reps felt entitled to overtime and filed a class-action lawsuit based on the following:
“Their jobs required them to meet with doctors in their offices, but also to attend conventions, dinners, even golf outings.”
No, this is not a joke. Seriously.
White collar professionals wanted overtime to play golf. Here are my thoughts as someone in the industry who knows many pharma sales reps, other industry sales reps and someone as having held a prior white collar overtime eligible job.
First off, cry me a river…

This is funny. All they do is drive around during regular working hours taking MD’s and PA’s to lunch, handing out free pens, then a couple of extra curricular activities per year. I was sales engineer once. In addition to all that shit (except I was working with corporate and plant engineers, mostly), I had to supervise start-ups, which usually occurred over weekends, often running all night, plus the occasional emergency call at any hour. Oh and then there were the all-nighters I often performed preparing a proposal. Fucking pussies.
I don’t know how they think they deserve overtime. They work 3 hours a day, and take the entire month of December off.
Z: We don’t get free shit, thanks to that drunk POS congressman Kennedy.
I’m just sitting here thinking of some patient reacting poorly to a drug and the practitioner cries out, “call the pharmaceutical rep, we need him here!”
AWD, sorry about the pharmaceutical company free shit ban. I dated a PA and she had jars full of drug company advertising paraphernalia. You should have been a boomer.
Union cops wanted to be paid for putting on theyre uniform and gear at home.
Zara,
AWD is a closet boomer. He’s too cowardly to come out cuz’ he can’t take the heat.
AWD is a closet boomer? No wonder he knows them so well and hates them. Then he is telling everyone he hates himself. How silly.
Oddly, some companies go overboard on the OT thing. I have a family member who’s company was bought out by Oracle. He does some sort of technical sales. White collar, six figure job. Once his company was bought out, they told him to start submitting OT stubs for any time spent outside regular hours at airports, traveling, even checking his email. He was like, “What!?”. It’s free money, but at his pay rate and working a typical 50 hours a week everyone else works plus getting paid to sit at an airport 3 hours each way, that’s crazy!
Sorry, not a boomer. Flash is math challenged, as is he sanity-challenged.
Flash likes to talk about being in the closet, because he loves black cock, and makes some pocket cash by sucking off gay black dudes at the gay bath houses.
I’m gonna be shooting off and blowing up some boomers pretty soon, on the 4th of July.
God bless America; death panels coming for all boomers!

Darwin: It’s not crazy…. some succesfull companies want to keep their good employees. Even in this economic climate, or should I say especially, some positions are heavily recruited.
Pharma reps eat shit, though, in my opinion.
Fun post.
What I find interesting is the psychology of drug salespersons.
If the Doc is male, the Drug Rep is a thin, big boobs blonde with long hair and a sexy voice and a high perfume level.
If the Doc is female, in walks a 6’2″ 190 pound broad shouldered male Rep that just drips testosterone.
I wonder why?/
MA
Last time I went to the doctor they asked me if there were any new medications I wanted to try. Jeebus, I said, I am not taking enough medications?
In fact I want to be paid for all those commercials wanting me to try Viagra or some depression medication. On the other hand I have no idea why a doctor would want to play golf with drug culture vultures that invade their offices.
AWD, if gay sex with a black man disgust you , then how about gay sex with a white man or Asian?
You’ OK with that?
BTW are you the only NSA agent provocateur using the AWD Id?
I see an AWD incessantly blathering inflammatory neo-con rubbish over at IOTW and TPC 24/7?
Is this you?
And I can’t help but notice these two sites are where most of your witless copy and paste posters are pilfered from.
Are you pro-Paulista libertarian on one site and neo-con mooslim slayer on other?
You do seem to have multiple personalities.
How much does the NSA pay you to surf the net stirring up a shit pile of malcontents all day long?
…just friendly curiosity …no need to end a drone.
I know a few NSA folk.
AWD doesnt act like one of the silent generation.
Lol! Pharma reps are due overtime due to Pharma companies fucking the reps on bonuses! The mafia style Pharma companies would take in more and pay their reps less! The interesting part is when you ask about the calculations of how they got your bonus; not even the home office ass wipes could explain the bonus structure!!!
When I started in the industry I made 40-50K/year in bonuses…. Now
… Reps are lucky if they bring home $10K/year!!
Give the reps what’s due!
