Yes, MNK bought companies. What I have seen in the past is the established sales force inside the buyer stays put - the buyee sales force is at risk. And they successfully took on other sales forces such as the intrathecal team and things were fine.
Regardless, this is all attributable to incompetence. XXR was the beginning of the end. At the point where XXR was to become our flagship product is when someone should have realized this would be a failure. Screwing Nuvo and Pennsaid was another mess, though I think that started before this new regime.
Sad times. Best of luck to everyone.
