If you can't beat 'em... sue 'em!

I have to say... All BS aside, I'm embarassed that our company is suing everyone. My customers are aware of it and it's making us look like assholes.

I'm hearing the same thing. Customers are not happy. I've been asked twice now. Don't know how to respond other than to pretend I don't know what they're talking about.

Neither are the CBMs I've spoken with happy about this.
How much money has Cubist spent on these lawsuits? How much of that money could have gone to supporting the salesforce with bonus and other incentives? Do the math. If Cubist spends millions on the lawsuits at approx $500-$750 per hour per attorney, and this thing has dragged on for months... well, you get the point. I think someone should ask the question, "How much have we spent so far suing our former colleagues? And what type of benefit and/or ROI does the company foresee?"

Besides, nearly all of us currently at Cubist came from competitors, or at least came from the ID space. Cubist didn't hesitate to hire us, did they?

Seems a little bit hypocritical.

Hey, maybe we should change our pronunciation to "Sue-best"??? The "C" is now an "S" sound. Suebest sues the best reps who decide to look for better opportunities. Departing, when unhappy, is something that continues to be encouraged openly be senior management... but is apparently double-speak.
 






My customers could care less and think the battle between the companies is funny. when I told them what the commission plan that the engagement managers are getting looks like they start to understand the desperation they have seen around selling oritavancin. My customers have their own problems to deal with and could care less about what is happening between companies.

Wow. Seriously? Your customers give a sh**t about this? Really? You sound like a pant-load to me. Grow a pair, my friend.
