In all of my years in the medical device industry, I have never seen such a waste of talent. This company specializes in hiring great people only to tell them that they are not qualified enough to run thier own territory. This is micro management by upper executives that have no idea how to operate in the extremity industry.
TR surrounds himself with intelligent and capable people only to tell them that they know nothing and to fall into line.
I only hope that there are enough life preservers for this sinking ship. I have never seen a sales force that has been beaten down, unappreciated and completely helpless under these fear factors implored by the ivory towers.
I hope your merger bonuses are worth it because these executives have not only ruined moral, they have ruined confidence in a company that had so much going for it.
Keep your ear to the ground, three more DMs leaving this week. That's a fact. They are great guys & are sure to be greatly appreciated in thier new positions. Congratulations guys & good luck, much happiness awaits you! More departures to follow soon & before some troll writes a good ridence speech, ask yourself one thing. How much do you believe in this company, what have you personally achieved to make this place better and how have you increased sales & representative moral?
True leaders inspire by example & I cannot think of one example that upper management has implemented to inspire it's sales force.
This post is being written with a heavy heart, truly wish I could believe otherwise.
The only thing that makes sense for these types of actions would simply involve another merger or aquisition because it's obvious that sales is not a priority.
