I came into this meeting feeling good about where the company was going. I read all the posts on here and thought it would be different but was I wrong. What happened to the Elanco I knew.
Day 1:
They require us to be here by 1 but start at 3:45 The president of your company shows up late. I don’t care what excuse you have or what flight issue you have, you don’t show up late. Especially with everything going on this year.
It’s called ACCOUNTABILITY!!
SM’s speech today was actually pretty good. I thought he had some solid points. It’s been a while. He tells us he wants us all to forget about 2017, what about all the people who busted their hump for you in 2017?? Forget about it. It’s over.
“Marketing” shows up and tells us a story about Alaska and eating penguins! Where are you going with this story?!? No wonder why we suck. We can’t even afford a laser pointer. Ha!
Two regional managers go on stage and I fell asleep. Typical “I can’t hear you” at the beginning. Yawn. Zzz
Simmons goes on stage. Half of his slides work, half don’t. Typical sports analogy story. Yawn again. Tells us a story about a rainy day in May that he couldn’t sleep and went for a walk; imagine not being able to sleep every night because of job security Jeff. He tells us a stock market expert moved Zoetis to a Sell position instead of hold or buy. He took notice off that.
ELI LILLY IS SELLING US!!!
What about your stocks Jeff? Tell us about that.
Speech ends? “Q&A” session but not an actual Q&A because the questions are completely rehearsed as SM has a piece of paper and a strangle hold on the mic.
Head to be after party for chicken nuggets and burgers. Really?!? That’s the food. What are we kids?!? Where the pizza?
Can I have a bottle of water? I ask the referees outside about botted water and they tell me they’ve never had a meeting here that didn’t have bottle water but this is a first and you guys don’t have it. What?!? We don’t even have BOTTLED WATER here?!?!
Can’t wait for tomorrow.
