I think those not offered jobs figured that out when in Orlando. They only sent one candidate onto interview with the regional, the other 2 got sent to the airport (or not if you were stranded due to the snow storms). But yes, alot of good reps there.
 






Do you dipshits know where Brent Saunders came from??? How about one of Fred Hassan's top executives at Schering-Plough. He was one of Fred's puppets that made out like a bandit on the "merger" with Merck. Now Fred has his boy in charge at B&L that will do anything he says.
 






Brent Saunders+ executive and puppet at Schering -Plough under Fred Hassan. Wonder how he got the job at B&L. Fred puts people in charge that will do what he says. Brent knows where the bodies are buried from his Schering-Plough days, so he also has Fred by the short hairs.

Make no mistake about it, Freddie means business and nobody under him has an upper hand on him. He's the rainmaker and all his buddies are along for the ride and would never sell him out. They should have B+L parted out to the chop shop in just a few years. It does take a little time to put these deals together.

The problem for Fred is that he unloaded very healthy companies in the past; B&L is not that healthy fiscally in any division.
 






warburg made a very bad purchase buying B&L. They thought they were getting it at a steal. The company is worth less today than when they bought it and the future really is not bright. You all probably have jobs for 1 to 3 years. It would not surprise me if they shut the doors tomorrow but the RX division is a disaster and the company as a whole just won't survive long term without some major blockbuster acquisitions in Surgical and RX. I see those divisions getting cut and B&L going back to contacts and solution.

I can't imagine still being there. So many good people left, there really are only a couple decent reps left there from the hayday that know their stuff and only 1 manager and 1 rbd. 90% of you are just taking up space not doing anything, not moving share, not selling product... it's not your fault, you just don't have the direction, the training or the leadership to help you win the fight against alcon or allergan. Or at least fight the good fight.
Most of you just sample drop and waste doctors' time. I hear it every day from the MDs. Their opinion of B&L is worse now than it was 4 years ago. Go do something worth while and get out of there.

Schering was in terrible shape fiscally when Fred came on board. He did turn it around. Say what you want, but the man does know how to sell a company. He's got the track record to do the job.
 






The value of this company goes down every month that it is not sold. Mainly because the products are becoming obsolete and no prospect of a break through product any time soon.

If they worked on making the company lean and mean instead of bloating it up to make it look like it is bigger than it is the company and WP would be better off in the long run.

You don't get it, it's all about smoke and mirrors. Just as Warburg Pincus knew nothing about the eye business and got talked into this; they will look for the same kind of outider patsy to unload this thing on. That's the game plan.
 






look at their other eye care company, inspire. They own half of that, and that just hit the wall with the phase IV failure of their new blockbuster to be / down the tubes med

This article indicates that WP lost 110million dollars on the failure

You would bet that this loss in one of the companies portfolio means that they are taking from the kitty in another one of their companies (Bausch +Lomb) to pay for the loss.

This is not looking good at all

The other, more likely possibility, is that they divest from healthcare in their portfolio; i.e. dump us faster
