Embrassing company to work for

anonymous

Guest
Yes, I am embarrassed to work here. Yes, I am looking for another job.

It is embarrassing to explain to customers that the samples they signed for two weeks ago are not going to arrive.

It is embarrassing that the Company hired a Sales Ops guy that was RECENTLY involved in a kickback scandal.

It is embarrassing to be listening in on the Town Hall and have TN tried to explain that cutting out samples was not a "financial decision". His email explained the lack of ROI, so how is it not a financial decision? TN should be embarrassed that he doesn't understand how SAMPLES really work within a physician setting (access, side effects, delayed Opko Connect process, no Foundation money). He doesn't seem to realize that mid-levels and other physicians in the office sign for samples for the main prescriber. The top prescribers are "friends" and prescribe the drug for "other reasons". How stupid are you? Your lack of NSD experience is obvious. All you know is marketing. You do not know anything about a HUB or you would have never hired MB much less kept her around this long. The hub is a financial burden and she is unpleasant. Until two weeks ago, the weekly report didn't track how many prescriptions died at OC due to non-coverage. He knows noting about Managed Care or the lies that HF tells the team every week. Patients and physicians do not consider "coverage" a copayment over $50.00. Would you pay over $50.00 for a drug that you didn't know would work and took 3 weeks to get through OC? What do the NAMs do everyday? They aren't taking meetings everyday with Medicare accounts or Commercial accounts. What about all of the vacant MSLs spots? It is embarrassing that Opko can't hire MSLs to handle the occasional inquiry regarding Rayaldee. Dr. Ashfaq and Dr. Bishop to the rescue? What happens when they convince a physician to prescribe the drug and there isn't any coverage, samples or Foundation money? It pisses off the physician. I don't think there is much ROI in that situation. Opko doesn't contribute to the Foundation. What happens when big pharma doesn't contribute to the Foundation in the first quarter?

It is embarrassing that you can't figure out a decent compensation plan for the reps. and shafted the Home Office people on their bonus. How is it HQ's fault that THERE ISN'T ANY REIMBURSEMENT?

How long do you think the new hires will stay around when everything you have told them is a lie?

Reimbursement issues are the reason we are failing .

Look, it’s simple. Frosty made money by lucking out with past projects and selling at the right time. It’s clear that his execution of running an actual commercial business is horrible as is his executive team’s (jobs given to people as return for favors from his past) current decision making. The Bioreference purchase was just a ridiculous purchase and the death knell. That little billion dollar spree is now biting OPKO hard on the butt. Now all sectors are eating dirt and the lack of executive management experience is coming through loud and clear! All bets on the street are simple, here’s an old man playing in a game he has no clue about. OPKO needs to sell to a bidder who buys the future pipeline. The failing commercial products being pushed commercially by all sectors will be sold to a foreign entity or entities. If you listen close, you can hear the bow being wrapped on this package.
 






I feel bad that you are so miserable here. I wish that OPKO wasn’t forcing you to stay. Perhaps you could work on spelling practice when you quit tomorrow. Hahahahahahahahaha.

Hey pal or should I say, 3rd rate washed up manager, reread the initial thread. This is a new hire and a prime example of justifying your 3rd rate managerial skill set because you hired this person. Your post reads that your more concerned with spelling than with fixing the real problems that plague Opko. Remember this as a 3rd rate manager, your past experience does not entitle you to be successful now or in the future so stop acting like it.

Everyone knows who is leading Opko Renal and what a fine red hot mess you and the rest of your so called leadership team has created, thanks a lot asshole

Dumbass! It’s “you’re more concerned...”, not “your”. And you talk about being concerned with spelling?

Quit? Why quit? Milk this cow until Feb. You no longer need signatures for sample calls and no more "call notes". Any day now the lunch budgets will be cut.
First, Concur submission expenses were cut. Second, sample cut. Third, Bio-reference "consolidated". Fourth, hire a (not convicted) white collar criminal for the Sales Ops guy (cheap and needs a job), Fifth, do not replace the mass exodus of MSLs. Sixth, change the Q1 comp plan to pay one ONLY new prescriptions.
I wonder how many people will actually be at the meeting in Feb.
