And the worst managers are....













At the end of the day Greg is a person. He has a family and has invested well over 25 years with the company. Although he's not perfect who among us is? All of us have strengths and weakness and areas where we excel and areas where we don't. All of us.

It's not fair to Greg nor to his family that he continues to be pummeled online with vague character assinations from past and present reps. You've certainly made your point by now about your unhappiness with him so let's move on.

Why should he not be pummeled? The reps he lied to and stuck a knife in the back of have lived with what he had done. Some were fired just to take the heat off himself and they had trouble getting work because of what he did to further his time at Medline. So let's not be vague about it. He was a lazy manager who did the bear min to keep his job. He would stick any rep in the back when he found it to suit his needs. He would not return a call to a rep or customer to help solve a problem. If you complained about his lack of help to corp you got fired. Do you want me to go on?????

If not I will assume the we all agree that Greg is/was the worst manager.

AMEN AMEN AMEN OR WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER
 


















The "worst" manager? Oh, man, how could I possibly narrow it down to just one?! Here is a short list of shame for Medline managers in descending order.

1. Thomas. P Littlebottom
2. Rev. Arnold Casper Shredington IV
3. Tapeesh "The Arab Thunder" Mussein Al'Habib
4. Lawrence Hettelbinger-Mötenstein (deceased)
5. Dick Cheevers (formerly Jacques von Bordeaux)
6. And last, but not least, Mortecai Andrew Lipton OBGYN

I have particular beef with #3. I bought that bastard a sandwich on good faith and he never even had the common American decency to pay me back.

And, seeing as this is an anonymous site, I would be remiss if I did not identify myself - lest I be one of "those guys" who publicly bashes a Medline manager behind the curtain of anonymity. My name is Michael T. Sandsworth, Son of Korian, Last of the Sandfolk, Hand of Wisdom, Father of Dragons, The Oath Keeper, Branch of Justice. I'm also M.D.....but no power trip here. You can call me Mike.
 




































The Proof is in the Pudding

Now that Greg Smith is gone, the division that was dead last year after year after year under Greg's leadership (or lack there of) is climbing out of last place and moral is at an all time high.

Time for the Mills to cut him lose, over the years he has cost the Mills millions in sales, why do they still keep him around.

Signed,

Enjoying the new vibe and my job again

Amen, time to get him off the Mill's teats. He has been dead weight for way too many years.

Smitty is gone, where did he go?
 












The loss of these big GPO's and IDN's are definitely in part UPPER managements fault. However, the managers on the streets (definition = managers sitting at home), are to blame as well for being shitty managers. So many people in accounts cant stand my manager which ultimately gets to the C-suite and eventually means loss of business.
Yes, reps are to blame some too. However, if the managers were not always at home doing nothing, they may be able to actually MANAGE their sales staff. Usually if a sales rep sucks, the manager is to blame. As someones said a few posts back, a managers job is to manage and that does not mean DICTATE!

They sent him to Florida to some dead end job. But he did not get the clue to go away. But then again since he is totally useless he will stay until they just fire him. It is not like he has any skills what so ever, no one else would take him for anything more than an entry level position. Sad really he has been at Medline for 25 years a d has no talent anyone else would want.
