Q3 numbers were just released yesterday. Anyone being put on a PIP for not delivering the desired results?

The original VP of Sales for Keryx used same PIP crack-the-whip style "Strategery" back in the Spring of '15 during the first 9 months of the Auryxia launch (the beatings will continue until morale improves!). By end of September 2015 he had been ousted. He tried to blame the sales force for a failed launch when poor leadership, marketing, and managed care access were the real factors at play. They hired great reps, for the most part, but most struggled that first year due to factors beyond their control. High turnover under the first VP of Sales - reps were forced out or fired. A few got their numbers up and managed to buy themselves a few more quarters, and a few (very few) are still there. By 2016 there was a new VP of Sales at the helm who turned out to be just as diabolical as the first. He was ousted earlier this year. Perhaps Keryx is still a shit show, I don't know, but seems like Opko definitely is!

Spot on!

It's time to look at upper management and to STOP blaming the sales force.

The challenge for Frosty is what to do with under performers on his management team. It’s easiest to ignore them and in fact that’s what usually happens. Again and again in large organizations, peak efficiency is undermined because companies retain people who are clearly not doing their jobs. One reason under performers hang on is because their supervisors fear confrontation. Other times, the employee has a connection to an executive in high places. But ignoring the problem is not bliss; it’s stupidity, one that undermines the integrity of the organization.

But that would require Frost to admit his mistakes and we all know that God don’t make no junk! The best scenario for this product is for Frost to leave. Look, it has been several weeks already since the SEC knocked on the door. What is happening? Are they trying to get him to resign? In the mean time OPKO is on the hook for attorney fees. How many scrips do I have to generate to cover an hour of their fees? Do you think Frost will cover a dime of the corporations fees?
