Not exactly sure who is posting this stuff,but obviously one of the authors is a PN hatahhh.

know for a fact that PN and entire team loves working with RW.

fact

Find trouble elsewhere & stop trying to stir up issues that don’t exist.

Obvious what you are trying to do.

The only thing blaringly obvious is that anyone who would make such a statement in light of the FACTS is either a halfwit, brainwashed. PN and team will rejoice the day when RW gets the boot.
 












Let’s face it, the company is a mess and its negative reputation is bleeding external. A few years ago, people were looking to leave the other CRM companies to come to Bio. Now, the word is out and the talent pool willing to even accept a phone interview is pretty limited. I’ve been trying to fill two open reqs for months. And this was all happening before covid, so that can’t be blamed alone. Job seekers want companies who want them and are willing to invest in them and treat them with dignity and respect. Professional advancement has always been a challenge at Bio but at least in the past I’ve felt respected. I don’t anymore. I feel like I spend most of my days fighting fires or responding to illogical or unrealistic requests from my manager which have usually been cascaded from much higher up. Suggestions for improving the way we work are ignored or delayed to the point that they are no longer possible or practical. Problems are not dealt with until something entirely breaks. I work everyday with people in the field and they tell me they’re feeling the same pressure to juggle multiple impossible demands so its not a LO problem alone. I think most of us if we were honest are eyeing other jobs even if we’d never admit that to anyone else at Bio for fear of retaliation or blackballing.

Why does PN always get blamed for every post on CP critical of the current leadership? Pat is the most Bio loyal of anyone. He’s basically sits at the right hand of Schaldach himself. Ain’t no way into the Fellow's kingdom but through PN. He’s more powerful than RW, cause unlike the sales team that struggles each quarter to deliver plan let alone growth, PN keeps crankin out fellows that use the products often without the assistance of over-priced reps who can’t even access some of these accounts anyway. PN has no need for RW or his motley crew of incompetent middle managers, he's got favor with Max and that’s really all that matters, so why would he waste his time writing crap about RW here?

Sales aren’t growing the way they would be with what you are claiming. He cranks out Fellows (I will give him that). They use for a year or two and then Bio gets consolidated off contract. Fruitless at best if it weren’t for the money it costs Max. There, I fixed it.

So I assume then you’ll be tossing your hat in the ring for Ryan’s job? I mean, you seem to have answers, which makes you instantly more qualified than him, plus you already know how to manage Pat. You should go for it!

But seriously, why don’t the people navigating this titanic understand the basic principles of the business they are leading?

That’s spot on, no newly minted doc is going to go to bat for Bio against CV leadership, hospital admin or purchasing. Their own instinct for self preservation will win out every time.

I don’t think the poster would “manage Pat” from what he wrote.

Totally agree. Max has missed this all along. Pat should be running US sales and not a person in the field disagrees. They have time to make this right but it’s running out.

I am not going to downplay PN's importance in his role. BTK's only true growth segment is with early career EP's that have engaged with BTK through their fellow's programs.

The is no debate... PN has an extensive Rolodex of KOL's throught the CRM/EP world. However, many of those KOL's that stand up at the podiums do not and will not use BTK's products. Why do you think that is?

It is called integrity
 






Sad to read so many are unhappy with the company. I’m not unhappy with my job at bio but then again I recognized a long time ago that it is just a job, not a career. The sooner you come to that realization the happier you’ll be. If not, it might just be the kick in the a** you need to move on. Liife is too short to have a miserable job.

Sorry things are so miserable in Lake Oswego. If it helps, I’ve used the EAP resources in the past and they’ve been really helpful with suggestions and tools to help me manage the stress of the job.

Some people have complained about HR but I think they do the best they can with the resources they’ve been given. I agree, definitely make use of the EAP that the company pays for. Above everything, be safe. Mental health is so important and we need to support each other during these trying times.

I think we all know why that is. BIO has a very negative image across the industry which is ironic because the big-3 have been caught up in far more scandal than BIO ever has, but they generally get a "pass" from customers possibly becasuse they still appear more stable than BIO. Pat gets a bad rap because he’s not the most pleasant person to deal with and his temperament could be best described as bi-polar at times. But I agree, he’s not trolling Ryan on CP. There’s plenty of other people Ryan has screwed over that aren’t afraid to call him out now that the “give him a chance” honeymoon has ended with multiple cycles of promises made-promises broken.

Whoever writes this nonsense is clearly trying to cause disharmony.
RW has done an incredible job leading the organization through a global pandemic, and delivering results at the same time.
We get it, hide behind your keyboard and spew your diatribe.
Always easy to take shots, not easy to lead.
The negativity smacks of a disgruntled person or two.
Fine. Move on to cleaning up your own message board and your own house.
Know for a fact,fact, that your references are just plain not true.

I guess you could call the corporate version of cultural genocide a form of leadership. Plenty of despots holding the reigns of leadership that have come before him are known to have used this tactic. However, I doubt any practitioners of this slash and burn form will ever be cited in management texts as an effective “leader.”
 






I think most of the comments on these boards are overly dramatic and inflammatory. I respect Ryan as a person, but I don’t agree with many of his leadership decisions. He doesn’t seem to understand the uniqueness of Biotronik and how to work best with the people that have been patiently helping the organization grow in the US for the past 4 decades. He has demonstrated that he does not trust or respect people who worked for or were hired by Marlou or Jake and he’s been systematically replacing them with hand-picked successors which is certainly his right to do. I would consider most of his hires to be marginally talented at best. Some are complexly incompetent altogether, but they are loyal to him which is appears to be the primary qualifying criteria for most since many of these hires never went through a competitive candidate selection process. That’s not a personal attack on them, it’s simply my assessment based on working with several of his hires closely over the past two years. I don’t think Ryan has the skills required to lead this organization to success having alienated a large number of previously very loyal Bio employees. No leader can appeal to everyone, but this leader doesn’t seem capable of bringing together a simple majority. That does not mean I believe he is a bad person, it simply means I don’t believe he’s the right person to lead this organization moving forward. I do hope the rumors are true that we will have a new president in 2022 as I’d like to believe we can turn this around before it is too late.

It's so easy to be cynical and so hard to want to help make things better. I don't like what is happening at Biotronik right now but I refuse to give up and just leave as so many others have done. I still believe in this company's amazing products and even more amazing track record which is all because we still have peopke who care about each other, our customrs and patients! Are there enough of us left that actually want to help make positive change? Perhaps in this season of thanks we can be grateful for what's working. For one, I'm grateful that I can still get product when I need it and I'm not loosing cases.
