From the moment that Bastard got on stage I knew it was over

Remember when we all went to our National meeting in Feb 2014? All seemed A-Ok on Monday, the first day of the meeting. Albeit missing our illustrious CEO, everything seemed ok.

Then the 4 AM text messages and VM came crazily. It was 7 AM on the east coast and it had just been announced that this garbage company purchased Cadence for 1.3 billion dollars.

There was a flurry of calls and a buzz in the hallways of the hotel, wondering if would all still have jobs. All the folks in California strongly professing they will quit if asked to move to St. Louis.

Then that bastard MT went on stage and we all knew it was over. MALLINKROTT???? MALINCRAUGHT???? No one knew about this shit company with good reason. So there MT stood on stage reading the TelePrompter and everyone had to look and smile and act like everything was ok. The dick never mentioned raising the price and changing all of our lives for the worse. One leader was really smart. This was RSL. RSL would never put up with this kind of crap and he left with his dignity and soul. The Cadence leaders that have stayed literally have sold their souls to the devil. We now all know and have learned something. What kind of spineless jellyfish some of these Cadence leaders are. These are the times (during challenging times) when you see someone's true character. People like JD want you to believe and think they are people of integrity but in reality when the chips are down they are only protecting one hide and it's their own.

Then we all endured the gigantic backlash. Months later they claimed it was an enormous success and the right thing to do as so,e were able to hang on to their business for a short while and it fooled the market in believing the drug was growing but in reality it was shrinking. A year later, they now apologize . This apology wasn't for the employees and what these idiots put us and our families through, but to the hospitals and pharmacy. This apology of course isn't genuine. It's like someone was caught cheating on a spouse. They apologize to better their own situation and it's not a genuine apology. That is what is so ironic. Stop apologizing now!!! If it was a genuine apology, you would take the product back to the original cost. They apologized knowing it was a dismal failure and hoped some pharmacy's would soften the blow a bit and still purchase the product, You ever wonder if people like MT didn't exist, how much all of our lives would be for the better. Did you ever stop to think what his sole actions and the actions of a few others have negatively affected your paycheck and the lives of your family. He should be so proud.

Now they continue with this tragic legacy by hiring people that have no business being CAS directors, have no business being managers, and have no business being a hospital sales rep. You are going to hire managers in one interview with no managerial experience??? You are going to hire reps with no hospital experience??? The new incentive comp plan now is structured to destroy the strong reps that have brought the money and volume and have been the leaders of sales in as an attempt to "even the playing field and give others a chance."

Mallinckrodt will be sold and idiots like MT and MM will walk away with a boatload of cash while destroying a lot of lives along the way.
 












You were spot on, especially when it comes to the existing Cadence leaders. Boy was I ever wrong about them! Shady ass losers that only look out for themselves. Did I ever learn a life lesson.
 












Dipofi is a great guy. He has his hands tied now that MNK is running the show. He will be gone to a new opportunity soon! So will money Cadence people. Just watch!

Oh yeah? You thought he was a great guy. Maybe he will be nice to you again at the "new" opportunity. But for now, don't count on it. Watch your back unless you truly know someone. People tend to show their true colors during periods of crisis. Unfortunately he is a yes man like many others and will do anything to advance his own career even if it means stomping out people along the way.
 












I have to agree that JD and others have been a real bitter disappointment. Sure, you can appear to be really nice and supportive towards anyone to their face. People like MM and MT have proven they can do that. But as a leader with a title, if you don't have the backbone to do what is right and to fight for what is right then you are a weak louse. It shows true character when someone stands up to what is right versus just covering their own ass. JD should have stayed as RBD as he has proven he doesn't have the balls to make any real difference. You can easily say he doesn't have the power to stand up to MNK but that is entirely true and it's not going to happen while your nodding up and down like a desperate puppy dog.

I've had leaders in the past that weren't afraid to make waves if it was the right thing to do. It's clear that JD just complies. RSL left and quit because he didn't want to become the type of person JD has become because he has integrity. So yes, I concur that JD is a "yes man" and that is very sad to me. My own manager has commented on the lack of any kind of true leadership. Yes, I agree he is halfway out the door already. Many of us already believe he is looking at a specific opportunity as well as some of the other RBD's and DM's.

Mallinckrodt (if they still exist by then) will be paralyzed when a massive amount of people leave and this is going to happen. They are just riding the wave until the opportunity is ready. But this shouldn't be at the cost of current employees. So have I lost opinions of certain people after this fiasco? Yes, I definitely have and so have many others.
 






Whether or not upper management, especially those from Cadence, are buying their time for the next opportunity shouldn't matter. They should be in the present fighting for what is right and the employees they have now. This isn't happening and I have no respect for them either. They are like bad politicians and don't want to rock the boat with their own careers and job titles yet are willing for a lot of bad and unfair things to go on and complying with them. This is just as bad as the evil creeps initiating everything.
It's a no brainier the upper management from Cadence will be gone to greener pastures, but have the integrity to do what is right for people now. At least try to and from the reports I've heard myself, they aren't doing that. You'd be lucky to get a sorry from them if that's even possible. DiPofi is in the drivers seat. He has a shiny new VP of Sales title and that's what he cares about and what it will do for him climbing up the ladder at other opportunities. If there are casualties along the way, he doesn't care.
 






Of course! All the rats here smile at your face while forwarding their careers at the price of others. How can anyone respect any of the people in upper management here? No one should. "our hands are tied" is not good enough. Jimmy left an email to all the volume leaders that they will be rewarded. Bullshit. Hey, if they can live with themselves that's their deal. Karma.
 






I feel all your anger, frustration and delusion with people you thought you could count on. Unfortunatel we have all learned or are learning it's not about US it's about each of us saving our bacon because they certainly won't. I can't live like them so I try to help and do the right thing according to how I was raised. Any measure of satisfaction, performance, etc il all BS. Never believe anything is confidential because they know everything and everyone that has responded. Where can you turn HR? Maybe 30 years ago now they're cronies for management and don't give 2 hoots. It's a shame it's come to this but when you chase the almighty dollar at all cost you can't expect anything different.

While I can feel your pain and validate your intelligent case here, nobody cares. It is all about the bottom line.

Stop being so naive, and start dealing with life as it is.

In other words, grow up and start understanding that the VAST majority of people in the business world are narcissistic psychos or Snakes in Suits.

its sucks. this world sucks. but, we have to live in it to build
 






This is the most accurate post on here. Sometimes we all just tend to accept the bad things that happen to us but when you really sit down and realize how much these individuals have adversely affected your pay, it is enormous. It's like we all handed over thousands and thousands of dollars to them. I also can't emphasize enough what a disappointment JD has been to me as well. What a weak and selfish man. Being nice to someone doesn't make you a good person or a good leader. His title is a joke. VP of sales? Great for his resume but bad for the rest of us.

OK do us all a big favor and stay medicated. People do care and in reality you must too in your warped "the world sucks" mentality as you are trolling the company boards. You are the biggest hypocrite ever and I have never read such a ridiculous post. If anyone needs to grow up, that would be you.
