Makes you wonder how hard the pills actually work

Really, this story speaks for itself:

NEW YORK

(AP) — Eli Lilly & Co. said on Monday it fired an employee who

wrote a book about his tenure as a Pfizer Inc. sales representative

which boasted about how little he worked and how much money he earned.

Company
spokesman Philip Belt said Jamie Reidy, author of the recently released
“Hard Sell: The Evolution of a Viagra Salesman”, was terminated because
the book advocated actions that were in violation of Lilly’s policies.

In
the book, for example, Reidy admits he exaggerated how often he visited
doctors. He also says in the book that he ordered extra food when he
visited physicians’ offices so he could take the leftovers home for
dinner.

Reidy
said he worked for Lilly for four and a half years, first as a salesman
but most recently training other representatives. The book is based on
the five years he worked at Pfizer, which makes Viagra.

And though Reidy is puzzled why Lilly fired him for his Pfizer shenanigans, I’m not — who’s to say he wasn’t slacking off at his current job as well?

That said, he might have a wrongful termination case…
