District Meetings


Massive field force cuts, another debt resonsolidation and a small regional lab after that. The future of this company doesn't include many of us. Start looking and interviewing if you are not in a traditional ath hot spot with historical performance and in network plans. All we will get besides a 60 day WARN is a miniscule (if any) severance when they chop the company up. It's a lot easier to find a job while you still have one than when the clock is ticking and you have COBRA and the unemployment office breathing down your neck.
 






Where did you get that information? I am well connected and have heard zero on any specifics. This company would always treat an employee fairly if a downsizing was needed.
 



unless you have contacts with the investors/board you are likely to be treated like a mushroom. the last thing management wants to see are territory's going vacant as a result of someone spilling the beans. these changes will require blood sweat and tears from reps to salvage what can be salvaged. rds are hoping people stick around so they don't have more crap piled on them. don't kid yourself, they are thinking that this sucks.....Because they know it. when the hot spots are truely profitable then the business model of trimming the fat begins. 60 days.......

What the fuck is this guy taking about?!
 






I just got put on a PIP today for no reason. This place is the worst, I tell ya. Atherotech is always trying to push people out to clean up their bottom line or ebita. I hate this place with passion and all the managers are scum bags. Yes I'm bitter ha
 



There had to be a reason. What are your sales YTD? If they are poor it is probably a good move for both of us. No company needs check collectors .......See the top reps in Italy!

I am a patient. I got my BCBS eob that shows you billed for over $800.00 worth of lab work. I have been in the health care industry for almost 30 years. Your bill looks like fraud to me! Luckily I only have to pay less than $20.00 but it appears that you are trying to rob the insurance companies. If you are smart you will leave this company in the very near future!

Every lab does this. You are NOT in the healthcare industry if you don't know that. Hospitals charge $20 for a bandaid, pharma charges hundreds on prescriptions that are me too drugs or even generic and doctors charge you multiple visits for a common cold.......it's all a scam. Oh, and it's run by the government which is the biggest scam and has the most corrupt individuals. Welcome to the real world buddy!

yes, but the other labs don't intentally build panels and disrupt a practice and patient. We do and it sucks explaining our bull shit. its embarrassing to be associated with this shit company and managers that couldn't get a job elsewhere.
 



Panels are going to be banned by the OIG. This is what is driving up huge costs. Labs like Atherotech are gone. Boston heart is going to rip Atherotech to pieces. Atherotech will only survive in the Southeast. Everyone should just abandon ship as soon as possible.
 









I should have never came to atherotech. I'm really disappointed in my year here. I cant believe the number of idiots in management. Going to Birmingham the second week you figure out really nobody knows how to relate to the field in day to day sales. My manager for sure is unable to make a presentation or chat with the customers on anything of importance. He shits out crap and smiles like a goon that he is.

And we have a bad name in this market. I'm afraid to lose the trust by converting my relationships. What a huge mess
 



This place is a relationship killer. Wait until new billing policy goes into effect. It's ovaaaaa. Every district will be destroyed by new billing policy. Can't make money so let's stick it to patients and destroy relationships. Shut down all accounts on June 14th
