Divesting Dermagraft at the end of 2013

























AM did what he is best at...destroying everything he touches. At worst, in less than two years, he successfully destroyed six years of extremely hard work by many loyal and dedicated people. At best, he did nothing to improve a declining situation and destroyed a great working culture in the process. I am sure he is very proud of his accomplishments, the main one being...ta daaaa....turning anything he touches into a pile of rat dung like himself.
 






I hope that pos gets dumped by both companies. Never had any idea what he was doing, never took the time to understand the manufacturing process or any technical details even basically but somehow was running operations, managed through intimidation and fear, made personnel changes to 'improve' the execution that were a joke, didn't care about any kind of culture or decent working environment, thought that 'walking around' was all he had to do as a management technique. All in all an incompetent manager who has destroyed the livelihoods of several hundred people.
 


















We will just have to drop our price that simple. Just look to NPWT lots of players took it on the chin and now all is well with the world life goes on. You may not be along for the ride but oh well its coming the post-graft D & A world where newer entrants can make that shift easily and the dinosaurs can't

Uh, guess you're not along for the ride anymore
 












Don Cope is the slime ball we all knew he was. I loved after we lowered the price that they did all this research that it really shouldn't affect those accounts from ordering. Don you are an indiot consultant that knows nothing. And don't try and call some of us hours before the announcement thinking that everything is fine.
 






Man up. FO said from the start he wanted to divest RM. AM and his peers obviously were selected to manage this and stayed to do just that. Organogenesis wanted to grow in the RM so overall a win-win.

A Win-Win. Interesting. Who won? OI is buying a dog product. I guess they won because they got it for almost free. Getting a free product isn't that great when docs won't use it. Did all of the people with ABH win who were let go by Shire? Will all of the Shire dead weight reps win who are fired by OI? Will the La Jolla people win who are fired? Will OI win in the end when they are bankrupt with two dead products?

It looks like Shire has made this thing a lose-lose from the outset. Leave it to big pharma to hurt people, lose market share, lose money, and have their stock price go up.

Win-Win for Irish Shire execs only.
 












Well, its a win-win for Shire share holders-how many of you would allow your toilet to keep running before you called a plumber?
Its a win-win for our Veterans that while finally have a chance a legitimate treatment now that this unethically product will be gone.
So considering Shire is a) publically traded & b) is a healthcare company that equals a WIN-WIN. If you don't like working "for the man" then go start your own company. Just remember bitching, crying, & blaming other won't help in that situation either.
Take some vyvanse & focus on your future son!
 






Right now it seem Shire had nothing else it could do. But it looks like OI has a bigger vision of how to work on RM, so maybe their execs know how to do it better. But Shire CEO said from the start he was looking for the exit here- maybe that's why the plumber never got called.
 












Shire bought ABH for $750M. ABH execs and the VC's behind them made bank. There are your winners. Whoever from Shire was responsible for carrying out due diligence on the ABH acquisition failed miserably. So, Shire reports a loss, this provides some tax shelter and all is well and good. It's pretty sickening the whole thing.
