Dropping like Flies and Many more to come

Quote
JL appears to be phasing into retirement. If anyone else at his level wanted to up and leave the corporate HQ for personal reasons, they would have been finished. But his BFF CW not only let it happen, but probably allowed the relocation to happen on the company dime. I wonder if the Frau even knows that the head of sales is no longer based at the North American HQ. What's that thing they always say - if you want to move up, you have to move west? Something like that.

Now JL is where he wants to be, he disengages, retires, boom. Where that leaves his sales team brings us back to the question: will Bill Wise take it all over?

This has gotten totally out of hand! It appears that "Atlanta is burning to the ground" and the generals are watching from the hillside as the troops get slaughtered. There is no end in sight and too many things wrong to correct.
JL is either too scared or oblivious to the issues at hand to discuss with CW. CW is so stubborn he is not willing to listen or care enough to address the concerns of the backbone of company reps. Instead of "dancing" with those that got you there, CW and JL have decided to sever ties and bet the house on new unproven reps that they call emerging markets. The company has changed and there is no going back. CW would be smart to look at history and realize that the demise of all great things is usually rooted in the inability to listen/hear what those who helped build it had to say. Storz is now just another company, like Stryker, that is price driven. Service and relationships built over the years are no longer important to the hierarchy as proven by leaderships stance of letting their long time employees who built things flee or about to flee in record numbers. In the past, most reps would not even entertain the thought of leaving, but now most are looking for a chance to jump. Sad, sad story for what was once a great place to work.

Re: Dropping like Flies and Many more to come-thank you dear colleagues

Friday was a sad day at Storz. One of our own "big names" completed his last day after a decade and a half of service. About the 3rd in the last month. There are many, many still on the fence waiting for promised changes in hopes that something will give before their background checks and offers from others are complete. They have been told by management not to hold their breaths as change just won't happen! Senior management has been advised for the last 2-3 years that the defections were coming but just don't care. How will these long term relationships with key players be replaced? They won't!
Good luck to our old friends departing for new medical device companies and thank you for your service and all you have done for the company!

Haven't seen any any "Big names" leave yet. Just a lot of big talk. Go back to your couch, hit your bong and watch price is right.

Well, who was it??
 
























The tenured reps that have left the company or transferred within the company: Tom Hickman, Charles Jeffries, Sean Potter, Sandy Green, Ted Cook and Doug Hawkins; these are just the ones that I know, I am sure there are more,
 






All these guys are has beens and are way past their prime. They had become lazy and irrelevant. Any recent success in these territories has come from the efforts of the emerging market reps. Those are the reps driving the growth of the company.

How does transferred within the company equate to leaving? They are still there.

Heard SG was going to get canned for a shady deal, that's why she left.

All the veteran reps who aren't contributing are still employed. CW is too weak to fire them, and the managers don't have the power to get rid of these guys.

Have fun continuing to lose deals to Stryker.
 


















Boom! Boom! Boom! Another one bites the dust! Better opportunities abound without the dwindling pay and constant headaches with no pay.

Someone quit on a Saturday? This sounds like a post from a drunk surgical rep. Get off your couch and go sell something, or get out of the way and let the emerging markets show you how it's done.
 






"How does transferred within the company equate to leaving? They are still there."

I should have explained myself better. There are other companies sharing the Karl Storz name that do not report to CW or Sybill, they are totally independent with totally different management, the individuals that transferred, accepted jobs with one of these companies, more like what it was 10 years ago,

I know SG, darn good rep
