More work than people takes on a new meaning!

Put all the personal opinions and attacks aside. We all are smart enough to judge the character of these HDs and HEDs and the people who picked them. The entire selection process is a total abject failure. It is actually quite funny if it wasn't so detrimental to this company and so many people's careers. I do know this EJ character through his previous company. Let's just say that I wouldn't let him watch my dog.

Let's face it, we are all smart enough to recognize the needs for a significant reduction. Many Bio-Onc people have not worked for years, not necessarily by choice. If these kids in SSF did not fancy themselves as some sort of visionary and try to pad their resumes, they could have just reduced the sales force and rearrange the current regions by state instead of franchises. All this ecosystem crap is all smoke and mirrors. The agile and the new ways of working BS are the millennials' way for covering their impulse and poor planning. Nothing more and nothing less. They almost want to glorify their failure and mistakes so that they can cover their asses. Skilled and intelligent corporate executives don't need to use smoke and mirrors. Those who got the leadership roles are either stupid enough to buy this crap or they are just some weasels like EJ who would say or do whatever it takes to survive this corporate disaster. There are things called integrity and humility, and they are sorely missed. Where is Art when we need him. I know a few good DMs who have and value these good qualities. Unfortunately their integrity is what got them screwed in this shark tank. I hope they land in some other places and I may just follow them. That pretty tells what direction this company is going.

EJ is a stellar leader. Disgruntled low ranked reps that were let go, are talking trash.

Thanks for your comment EJ. Are you feeling great about your new job? How many did you stab this time? Remember, Karma is around the corner.

So out of touch. There are PLENTY of top performers that are not displaced that all share these sentiments on EJ, including his peers that are amazing managers. To say these comments are posted by fired reps shows you don't really know him or you didn't care how he stabbed others in the back.

Wow, why are you people so harsh on this EJ dude? He is just a weasel with a missing spine trying to survive this sinking Titanic. He is so far into KR's and TB's bowels that he is practically their personal proctologist.

Naw Man, he has been a weasel since forever ago. Way before the Titanic. That’s why.

Who are KR and TB? What brand?

Giving the RGMs top positions, is a huge mistake. They are the biggest backstabbers that we have. Who the heck created their positions anyway?

Not only is giving any RGM a top job a huge mistake, but there seems to be an overall theme of “terrible judgements in character” based on the hiring process for Pioneer HDs/EDs. By an overwhelmingly large number of accounts, these are some very bad people who have been put in leadership jobs. It is amazing to hear how clearly the negative reputations of the chosen leaders precede them, yet they still landed jobs over genuinely good people. The RGMs and other so-called Account Managers (Respiratory?) that manage up best will now have to actually manage down. I feel sorry for anyone who now has to work for a gamer who only cares about making himself (or in many cases Herself) look good. If this is any indication of what’s to come, the best “success” story tellers and best practice BSers are going to be getting all the rewards. They already are.

If the poor judgement in the selection process and the terrible character of the new leaders are any indications of where we may be going, this company is going to be a sorry place. I already got so many negative comments from my customers about the way we operate and treat people. It is going to get worse. I think they may have to hire some 3rd tier external reps to fill these IC jobs at the end. Perhaps that's what they want. They are so fixated on cutting cost. Remember, you get what you pay for.

The whole CEoF thing is a despicable act. The whole interview process is designed by the few people in SSF to hand pick their people who have been carrying their water. No decent company would fire all employees and put together some BS, subjective and laughable criteria like mindset to screen its people. I hope some good lawyers are watching this. Where is inclusion when you look at the Michigan leadership team? It is a total joke.

OH BS get on with it....are you still here or have you decided to quit and move on? Stop some people may want to see where this goes, and I am sure many need a job. Have some sensitivity of your own colleagues.

I retained Detroit’s top legal firm. You’ll see my name in about a year, and the seven figure settlement.

What about the diversity in Houson? All women and diverse? You got a problem with that? Does this make Genentech anti male?

Houston, we've got a problem. Angry woman onboard. If angry female is also a minority group, we see diversity all right! Hey, how about Ohio? Don't they all look kind of pale? Did all the minority managers there fall asleep during the interviews? If integrity was a class, that is also missing in Ohio! Just saying....

Giant a-hole, weasel, and backstabber pretty much sums it up. The dude would push his own grandmother in front of a bus if it helped him get ahead. Run as fast as you can.

EJ has been described by his own partners as only in it for himself. "It's always about EJ" What a prick. EJ, you're the reason why no one applied to your ecosystem! LMFAO

So....they should hire based on race/gender vs. quality of the candidate? Also, do you know who all interviewed?

Of course they should, haven’t you been watching CNN or MSNBC the last decade? Race/gender is much more important in this day and age.

I've never been a fan of race or gender-based hiring. That's BS. I also know this whole hiring process is a total sham. One of my counterparts from another franchise told me that some of their really good managers did not even get an interview. I guess we should be ready for another round of who is who in the world of suck-ups. I have no faith in these SSF clowns or these new HDs. Some of them don't even manage people. How the hell did they get these jobs? This is totally beyond all of us. By the way, I don't personally who this EJ guy is. One of his former CS's I met at NSM told me that he was a "sneaky little prick". I guess bad news travels far.

All the HD jobs go to people who are friends with VPs. "Sneaky little prick" EJ and TJ who are KRs BFFs. Decent people don't have a shot in this new system, but that's okay, most of us would rather get the hell out.

"little a-hole EJ"? You must not know him. My manager said that he's a giant one. People who know him don't have anything good to say about this weasel. What a pathetic group of people in these pioneers. Now it coming to the west. I am just waiting for my package and dying to get out of this toxic place. Good luck everyone!

I'm not a fan of spineless keyboard commandos that write disparaging comments about someone under the cloak of anonymity. Who cares what your "manager" says. They have had 8 years to share their feelings. Here's why said person has a bad reputation: he's smart and understands organizational savvy.
