Anyone else feel good about Mark Booth getting the can and a TAP guy taking over?

Whoo hoo! A 10% increase would be great bc I'll be damned if I get paid less than a TAP rep who doesn't know how to sell against the competition because they talk about their love life instead of actually selling a medication. Actually, Takeda can pay me the same amount and I'll just start modeling my calls from the TAP selling model . . . on the couch.


Last time I checked, Takeda didn't have a drug on the Top 5 list of drug sales. TAP did. In your mouth with a doo-doo sandwich!
 




















If you don't know who/what AM is and means to Takeda than your a clown. The Takeda "culture" is left overs from what Allen started. Mark B was doing all that he could to destroy that and become big pharma culture.

As far as Takeda not having a top 5 drug. TAP products were developed by Takeda you dumb ass. Secondly, Actos is the #1 branded oral anti diabetic in the world.

Takeda folks should be thankful that the father of the Takeda culture is back, and TAP reps should be glad that "little" Takeda (which developed prevacid) BOUGHT them, not Abbott.
 




Unbelievable........If it wasn't for Alan, there would have been no Takeda.

This is one of the most ignorant statements that has appeared on any Cafepharma Company Board [ EVER ] !!!

Let me see...How can I match this level of stupidity? Oh I know...

If it wasn't for the former United States of America's Vice President, AL GORE, then there would not be the internet or World Wide Web. :eek:

:cool:

Let's face it folks, we're being merged into TAP. Their President is becoming our President and CEO. Their VP is in charge of the "integration". Our two products we couldn't get off the ground only had trend line increases after TAP started to co-promote them. Word is that Yasu & kunio have been upset with us for years and thats why they are giving the boot to our fearless leader and having TAP start running the show. They even are bringing the TAP R&D VP over to head up our research arm. Wake up people! We're being merged into TAP!!
 




Too true, all the important VP positions have gone to TAP. TAP is in charge, and anyone from TPNA is in a weaker position as prior relationships will rule the day and TAP will dominate level after level of management, down into the rank and file.

That makes us the Takeda reps almost in secondary position. My concerns lie with another re-organization- displacement of reps again- the imbalance of salaries and what about the Takeda culture? Whatever happened to that? In pharma world things constantly evolve but to what extend is it benefical to those who have a high level commitment to Takeda no feel like substandard.
I am dissapointed and quite frankly when you hear and see TAP personnel have acquired high exe level positions it to me looks like a TAP company!
 




wow, callen breen what will you do now, you had to leave tap in the dark of the night because you lied on your sample inventory several years ago what will you do when you end up with a regional from Tap. Cant wait for them to look at that!!!!!

Everyone should be glad to be rid of that pasted on fake smile that he wears. Hope the rest of the Abbott clan follows him out the door
 








MB sucked and always did. Its not a Takeda guy or a TAP guy in AM, he's always been a Takeda Japan guy and a great leader. TPNA was best when the old guard was at tpna (alan, rich, etc) and I would expect them to continue to show the great leadership they have demonstrated in the past.

Expect a fair amount of change in the next few months, but with the leadership in place the company is in great shape. We all won't be here to see it however thats part of change.

Sure hope that this guy and his ass-kissers don't end up at BMS-we have enough Abbott losers here already.
 




It appears that Abbott losers migrate in packs. GSK, Astellas, and
BI are infected with them. American industry is losing its' competitive edge in the world, in part, because this buddy system undermines promotion of the best and the brightest.
