Do Not Send Blood To Atherotech








We are only down roughly 40 million on an annualized basis. We have new messaging that hit the field last week and produced results we haven't seen in years. Please keep the faith specimens should pick up in the lab by midweek and this storm will blow over. We produce quailty lab results thanks to a great lab team just hang on by weeks end you will see!

What message OVERCOMES: OON, large EOBs, medically unnecessary panels, overnight shipping that frequently are missed, insurance companies that will not support us and actually direct testing away from ATH?

What message overcomes ANGRY patients, clinics and managed care organizations.

None. And who feels comfortable working at a company that will end up losing a third of its revenue this year? Don't believe the BS! Of course they are going to tell you everything is fine. Management's job is to lie to your face right up until this place gets shut down. That's what they are paid to do. I am looking and getting out of here. What more evidence do you need?

These posts are so terrilby funny. HR is sad. HR dept is such a terrible representation. They are also had previous post stated. Generalist that are bottom wage earners. And the so called stop HT is an an olde hag only knows bham direction.
 






The fact that the lab tries to cover everything up is pitiful. I saw TB a few weeks ago and she said that KC and JW plotted to get rid of her and I believe every word. I worked with TB for years and KC hasn't been with the company long but every time I see her she's with JW huddled around being sneaky. Trust no one in management. I have an interview with another lab and when I get the job I'm telling Atherotech to kiss my ass.


HR is typically the backbone of a company and a place you can seek assistance. Our HR is absolutely horrific. Paper shufflers and major butt kissers. No one to lead or trust.
 



So all you miserable people whipping each other into a hatefest frenzy with these posts....... Go away. Shut up and leave already. Take your hate and bitterness somewhere else. If it is so bad, how can you possibly remain here and not be a fool? You don't see the paradox of your behavior???? You are motivated by hate - there is NOTHING constructive in what you say, and if your children or people you respected knew how you were carrying on and what you were saying on here you would be ashamed of yourself. Life is too short to be so bitter. Go away.

And for you posters who don't actually work for us but post lies on here about the way we conduct business to stir the pot -- or pretend to be giving our people good advice in their best interest, get a life and focus on the legitimacy of your own business. You are devious in the worst way. In your pathetic attempts to harm the company, did it occur to you that your deceit and hate would also be harming actual people? Get a life.

Game on everyone! It's ours to lose. Things have been resonating well since the changes. I hope for positive feedback from those who are committed, not those who are out to pasture or disgrunteled. Had a good week thus far and I'm beginning to feel the passion I had when I started here. I feel like the pond is freshly stocked and the fish are hungry!!!!
Fish on!!!

Great post. Thanks for saying what we are all thinking.
 



I hear talk in the lab and on these posts. I don't know what is really happening. Is it leadership, sales team or other, but I can say our specimen volume has dropped dramatically and worried about my job. I have started to look for work at hospitals.


This week the volume is down from the past two weeks.
 



Yep, we are fishing in a small pond while the competitive labs who actually have productive offering and service are fishing for big trophies in the ocean; not a muddy water pond.

While Atherotech's management was mandating that we look for the "traditional sweet spots", the rest of the lab industry was partnering, collaborating, monetizing their platforms, standardizing and replicating their technology and above else contracting with the insurers and PBM's. Take a look at what Boston Heart is doing now and look how dead in the water we are. They partner with all the hospitals and reference labs and their reps are basically account managers. Atherotech's management team has had their heads so far up their asses I'm surprised they don't walk on their elbows
 



Boston has figured it all out. Atherotech is so backwards it's unbelievable. I had told mgt what we should be doing and how to approach things and al you get is no no no...stick to sweet spot that's outer bread & butter...yeah yeah yeah...now you're all TOAST. Glad I left sucks for everyone still there...get out and take your severance...unless you're all in!!! Joke
 



The 400/mo that are sent by our lab through LC to Athero will soon be a memory,all clients being converted to another cardiac panel. You idiots sent us that lame term letter and we dont even refer directly - what a bunch of bozo's! Oh, and by the way, you have less than zero shot of ever getting samples sent direct to you, our clients think its laughable....bye bye
