Favorite Pinnacle Biologics Memory

When Cafe Pharma added Pinnacle Biologics to the Company Boards. The request to add PB was made while employed by PB. It was simply a reaction to PB management's actions. PB has everything to lose in exposing their corruption. And the former employees acquired great opportunities. All they needed was a little more time. The inpatience of Guillermo desiring for those who departed to leave sooner than later resulted in the inclusion of PB on Cafe Pharma. Had Guillermo not rushed the former employees out the door, there would not have been a Pinnacle Biologics on Cafe Pharma. Now, everyone (including the FDA) has access to everthing being stated about PB and their pharma malpractice.

Besides describing on this forum all the illegalities committed by Guillermo, his "money for silence" via severance package apparently has become another poor investment. C'mon, Guillermo did not agree to a severance package to provide financial assistance. He did it hoping to keep his pharma malpractice hidden from the FDA.

That makes sense. Why pay a severance if you don't have anything to hide? As long as I've known Guillermo, he will NEVER pay money unless there is gain for him. There must be incriminating evidence against Guillermo to have offered a severance. By the way, as a former colleague of Sr. Herrera, I'm not one bit surprised with the little I have read. Very interesting, to say the least.

When we were asked to calibrate the lasers at all our institutions. Supposedly, it was for the sake of adding value to our role with our customers. We all knew it was BH attempting to add value to our role with the CEO. Talk about grasping for straws. That's when I knew Photofrin was over and it was the end of the road for the reps. That one was almost as ridiculous as the vial stock count at the pharmacy level. Remember that? Let' see...what number am I going to pull out of my ass this week for xyz institution? Ah, 8 sounds good! That way I'm covered for a few weeks. How about the conference call. "Let's go from east to west or west to east." On a few of those I guessed right. "Dr. X has a case scheduled for next month." Sometimes a case with Dr. X would actually occur. And if I guessed wrong, "The patient decided to go with an alternative procedure." That's what I call, "I can play your silly guessing game." My favorite was when a GI would perform a Cca case, and to keep the dogs away, it would have to be described as a BE HGD or esophageal carcinoma. Now we can look back and laugh at how we were able to play the game.

Today, a former PDT rep and I were remembering this ridiculous initiative of calibrating the laser. We could not stop laughing. My former customers still laugh about this one. One KOL said, "When you began requesting to calibrate the laser, we knew you wouldn't be selling PDT much longer." They were right.

Does Brad still have the reps calibrating the laser? Unless the new reps have increased PDT business, there isn't a need for laser calibration. A couple of my former customers have said, "They (PB) won't admit it, but I know they realize the absence of PDT cases is not a rep issue." Guillermo should never again yell at his reps. And if he is, he needs to compensate them well.
 






It's been a looooong time since I last read some of these favorite Pinnacle memories. They're hilarious. After Guillermo reneged on the 25 K award bonus, most if not all found creative ways to recover the money. I believe we all made out with more than the 25 k which should have been awarded. Working for another company, expensing meals for non-PDT clients, expensing home improvement items/projects, exaggerating miles driven for mileage reimbursement, and taking mini-vacations within the region must have exceeded 50 k individually before we officially checked out.
 






Too funny! I believe a made slightly over 35k in 2011 and slightly over 25k in 2012 on additional earned wages. Those amounts coupled with the "business expenses" incurred, more than satisfied the 25k Guillermo refused to pay in 2011. He made millions so it didn't matter then, and more so now. Thanks Guillermo!

Funny memories! I hadn't read these in years. Classic!! The European President of PDT who Guillermo could not get a hold of due to skipping town ended up keeping all the sales revenue in Europe. That was soon after he gave this person all the credit for keeping Photofrin afloat. That may be perhaps the funniest post I read.

Also, making up for the 25k he refused to pay. I may have expensed at least 20k on vacations at the nicer hotels in my region and high end restaurant outings. And made an additional 25k on my part-time job. It would have been less costly to have paid the well earned 25k.
