Company is totally f'd-up. Hey, what about Duet?

This company is so screwed. Lets sum up: E1 conversion disaster, No pay raise, backorders on most products, crappy incentitive comp plan(i.e. focus bucket), sales # reporting errors and now a product recall. What is next? I should have known what type of year we were in for when we went to that joke of a sales meeting last Oct in Orlando. Our management all the way around is pathetic.
 






applause and tip of the cap to Jerry Liebrand and Rob Claypoole the team that brought you the collapse of 2010 and the 2011 Strategic Plan including the comp strategy
 










































And then lies about what is going to happen with the return dollars when she is asked. I have no respect for this woman. She is just another womens inititive hire. She knows good and well that we will all be hit with huge credits and never gain it back right before the end of the year. She is the same pos that gave us no relief to the focus bucket and then encouraged some of her managers to fire reps who were not making that number. What a year! Worst by far of my tenure. I want to just close my eyes and be gone from this hell hole.


LC introduces the participants on the Duet call, and promptly ducks out of sight. Absolutely pathetic.

Well said
 






Lets see... Our upcoming Orlando meeting will be filled with more "valuable training" bahaa bahaaa. What a joke. We dont need training. We need alcohol and drugs to put this disaster of a year behind us. There have been 2 that left our region this week and another to leave next week. Lori and Skip's leadership has been inept and totally ineffective. Covidien is defintely way behind the curve when it comes to how they treat their sales force.

A lot of questions in my mind...namely, will they re-use the 'Innovation' tagline and collateral for the third year in a row? Also, how will they top the personalized water bottle as gratitude for sales efforts?

Lori only cares about building her resume and could care less about her people. She only promotes those she perceives will be her "puppets" and only cares about herself. Nice job Gershon, way to hire her on the way out the door. I hope Hason has more sense to see through her BS.

I am going to be sick for the national sales meeting. There is now way I can sit through another one.
 






This is just amazing- executives that seem to be guessing at everything. It is like "lets see if this works" instead to leadership with a level of experience and competence. I cannot believe how pervasive it is throughout all levels of management.
 






how many more reps would have hit and/or exceeded quota if there were no back orders?

how many hard working reps lost money because of the back order?

how many customers were/will be lost due to back orders?
