Abbott Nutrition

Actually good friends with your mother. hello son I'm your daddy now go to your room in the basement.

 

LMAO
Red Headed Stepson ?

 

Uh, John McManus of Aeolus is not the same as Joe McManus of Ross but thanks for playing and you will receive a year's supply of kibble.

 

At least the old VP of International is Gone (SW) no more womanizing.

 

Long live Joe McManus and LC. Even SC was ok. Since then, forget it!!

 

New diggs at ES are super sweet, thanks Miles!

 

Any idea rumors if the new President in Nutrition is going to shake things up? His employee message seemed to suggest changes are coming.

 

Major changes are coming

 

Like? General stir up comment, I am sure to be followed by more.

 

I'm out of the loop. Who is the new President of AN?

 

there will be a big announcement this week. This will change the company as we know it forever

 

I have ran into many Abbott reps - great company but the Pediatric Nutrition is a real hot mess. The Sales Training team are psycho - the role plays come out of Pharma about 25 years ago - model is now dead. The SE Regional is run by a real piece of work Robyn. She is has gotten rid or forced out so many reps in the last couple of years. I do not work in VA - but her and her two year old manager have run the state into the ground. So many people have left or been fired for nothing. Expecting contracts in big systems overnight - forced strategy meetings 3-5 times a week - the DM has at least two meetings weekly - Our state just got the WIC contract and now we are doing great but VA has had it for years - they have lost the market share and continue to lose. Maybe being a leader means not treating your workforce like slaves and like human beings. Robyn and her DM in VA have no clue how hated Abbott is because of their heavy handed tactics. I have a doc or two that has come to work in my state. They say their old hospital systems will not go back to Abbott with their attitudes and how they try to role play them to death. Forget the process and just sell!

 

Its the Pediatric Nutrition division I know that they are speaking of - things switch daily depending on the DM - senior management has some real nuts working at regional - its become a real pharma culture - they rely on science and not relationships and customer service. The SE Regional Manager is abusive so are some of the DMs to their employees. I know that some have been reported up to HR. I know of several former employees taking to a lawyer right now for the verbal and mental abuse going on.

 

ensure Sales are down 50 million

 

Who cares about geezer juice ? You Ross mutt milk maids are really the weakest link here.

 

Bring back Don P. To dismantle this nutrition shit show.

 

Unfortunately Don Patton had a very bad climbing accident. He was scaling Mount Espre' in France when suddenly his cord snapped. He plunged 4,00 feet. Fortunately he was heard screaming, "I was the inventor of the Simple Pack". He was a true innovator.

 

he created the "general" advertisement and Abbott dusted it off and now retail is up

 

I wish they would show me the door, my 401k is up 40% plus, would be sweet to have the severance and waltz into retirement!
