The way the industry has went over last few years, firing reps for bullcrap reasons, ruining people who gave years of their life serving a company, I hope these reps suing win win win.

Majority of reps (Primary Care) do not make 6 figures like stated above.

It was a great field when I entered, but a complete joke when (and why) I decided to leave.

Now I train future docs in A&P.

Any rep who sues for this is just putting a nail in their own coffin.

Thanks for the note. But let’s be clear - I have always posted items that were first reported by other media and provided the appropriate credit - up high in the item - along with a link. In the past, I have linked to The RPM Report, a sister publication, more than once - and this was long before I was associated with The Pink Sheet professionally.

How do I choose which items I want to post from other media? If they’re interesting and/or important. This item qualified - it’s about a federal agency siding with sales reps in long-running and confusing litigation that has sizeable implications for drug makers and their employees.

And I was involved in obtaining the Department of Labor brief (which you can read by way of the link). I handed it off to the reporter to write, instead of posting it myself because I have an obligation to find the best stories for the Pink Sheet, not just the best items for Pharmalot. In other words, I shared.

And please be advised that I placed the disclaimer at the bottom of the item because readers should know if they will have easy access to a link or not. It’s a common courtesy that, when I first started Pharmalot nearly three years ago, I regularly extend to readers who ought to know if a publication requires payment. That’s not an advertisement. If I were to link to Nature, for instance, I would place the same info.

I’m sorry if you don’t like the Pink Sheet, but that doesn’t negate the value of this story or my obligation to be courteous and candid. Try looking at this way. Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Ed
