Yeah I worked in pharmaceuticals at one point and it was difficult for me because of the predatory pricing. Most people couldn't afford the drugs they needed to keep their kids alive so, they would resort to taking out second mortgages on their home or crazy financial decisions for short-term gains. I found this out when I actually was on a vacation and I met a young lady that had leukemia and her family pretty much sold everything to keep her alive. And it was drug my company produced for 50c a pill.

Yep!! I’ve done it twice and succeeded both times. Once with some supplements that were really diet pills and once for some military adjacent client. It was scary but I was heard and didn’t have to work on either of them!

I have. I left a job because of predatory pricing. It was difficult, but I found something better.

I don’t work on alcohol brands but I let managers know early on so it didn’t feel weird to turn something down in the moment.

So I say this with complete humility and an understanding that this is a fortunate-ish situation to be in. I’m in a position where I am tied to nothing, I have no children, spouse, or house.
