Don't ask me, I'm just a girl

The Placebo Effect site carries details of a gory wrongful dismissal suit in the US that has mutated by way of a bizarre sexual harassment suit into another massive overtime claim for American drug reps.

The company in question, Endo, has done neither itself nor the wider industry any favours.  The plaintiff, a rep named Susan Quinn claims that her boss, Melissa Phillips, coached her with the following advice: -

Ms. Phillips also stated to Ms. Quinn that she should be familiar with the physicians she called on by, for example, sharing details about her private life. Ms. Phillips also told Ms. Quinn that she should use smaller words to appear less intelligent.

Ah, the Malibu Stacy school of pharmaceutical selling.
