Peerless - worst distributor

[anonymous]

Until Bowman misses his number, he can act anyway he pleases. Including the way he acted last weekend. Nobody cares, move along.

The distributorship will hit the wall, hard, within the next 18-24 months. Blame will be assigned (not equally) depending on your popularity (which changes daily). Everyone from reps, managers, support staff, product managers, ACT, and corp leadership can't wait for that day. He's made too many enemies to count, they will bury him when the time comes.

Well well well, looks like bowman has become just like is daddy and mentor Jim Robbins. as much as bowman likes to say negative things about Robbins, he's just like him.

Agreed. He says negative things about everyone. Every conversation with him takes the exact same path; it's starts off on topic, then turns to him, how great he is, then more about him, then a reminder that he's the best at everything (even things he's never attempted), and then concludes about how incompetent everyone else is, and if they would only listen to him the world would be a perfect place, and then a reminder that the sun revolves around him and finally, you guess it, he's the best.

Most accurate post in the last few days, he turns every conversation into something about himself, he does it so often he doesn't even realize it, it's like a conditioned response. If the subject isn't about him his ADD kicks in, he'll start checking his phone, computer, or just walk away, the level of narcissism is so high it could be a case study.

I can't wait to watch PB stand outside in the hall at NSM this year and monitor everyone. Last year I couldn't go to the bathroom without my manager calling/texting me asking where I was because PB was asking. He wansts to have complete control of our movements, this guy is nuts.

At our agency meeting in Naples this spring he would send group text demanding that we ask questions during corp presentations, just so he looked good. And I'm sure he was heart-broken that RS didn't even show up. The funniest part was his pre-meeting email stating that we would all be interviewing for our jobs during these "intense meeting" and no one showed for his presentation.

When EK introduced PB there was a timed moment where he thought the sales reps would applaud, and there was nothing but an awkard silence, but PB was so self involved he didn't even notice, but EK has a very puzzled look on his face as to why PB wasn't acknowledged.

Without any mutual respect this is the only way he can get anyone to do what he wants. I've been there, it's a miserable environment to work in.

It is time to move on. Bullying left unchecked will harm your mental, physical, financial and emotional health. If you've done your best to manage the situation but still no change, it's time to move on. You're not letting Bowman-the-bully "win." You are taking care of yourself.

Two more reps have escaped.....of course PB will say it was his idea and it worked out to his benefit.....as always.....everything is about him

Bullying Defined


The Workplace Bullying Institute defines bullying as “repeated, health-harming mistreatment of one or more persons (the targets) by one or more perpetrators that takes one or more of the following forms: verbal abuse, offensive conduct/behaviors (including nonverbal) which are threatening, humiliating, or intimidating; or work interference – sabotage – which prevents work from getting done.”

The primary issue with bullying is that the perpetrator desires to control the other person’s behavior, usually for his or her own needs, personal agenda, or self-serving motives. Bullies use a variety of subtle and sometimes not-so-subtle ways to control others emotionally, psychologically, and even physically.

Adept bullies and manipulators are often extremely controlling people who are attuned to certain personality traits to exploit others. They are skilled “people readers” and make it their task to understand someone’s flaws to determine what techniques can be used against them. Some even go a step further and mask their bullying behind a charming and nice demeanor and even a noble cause.

Subtle Signs of Bullying


Bullying often goes unnoticed in the workplace because it is a slow process of emotional and psychological manipulation that is hard to prove and detect. It is also not protected under law. Technically, bullying is not considered harassment, so legally, people can get away with doing it in the workplace if a policy isn’t in place.

Here are twenty (20) subtle signs of bullying that you may be missing, but when a pattern emerges of multiple behaviors over a long period of time, can be a classic bullying situation. These subtle signs are all used to create an emotional reaction, usually anxiety, which establishes greater control and power over the victim.

1. Deceit. Repeatedly lying, not telling the truth, concealing the truth, deceiving others to get one’s way, and creating false hopes with no plans to fulfill them
2. Intimidation. Overt or veiled threats; fear-inducing communication and behavior
3. Ignoring. Purposefully ignoring, avoiding, or not paying attention to someone; “forgetting” to invite someone to a meeting; selectively greeting or interacting with others besides a victim
4. Isolation/exclusion. Intentionally excluding someone or making them feel socially or physically isolated from a group; purposefully excluding someone from decisions, conversations, and work-related events
5. Rationalization. Constantly justifying or defending behavior or making excuses for acting in a particular manner
6. Minimization. Minimizing, discounting, or failing to address someone’s legitimate concerns or feelings
7. Diversion. Dodging issues, acting oblivious or playing dumb, changing the subject to distract away from the issue, canceling meetings, and avoiding people
8. Shame and guilt. Making an employee constantly feel that they are the problem, shaming them for no real wrongdoing, or making them feel inadequate and unworthy
9. Undermining work. Deliberately delaying and blocking an employee’s work, progress on a project or assignment, or success; repeated betrayal; promising them projects and then giving them to others; alternating supportive and undermining behavior
10. Pitting employees against each other. Unnecessarily and deliberately pitting employees against one another to drive competition, create conflict, or establish winners and losers; encouraging employees to turn against one another
11. Removal of responsibility. Removing someone’s responsibilities, changing their role, or replacing aspects of their job without cause
12. Impossible or changing expectations. Setting nearly impossible expectations and work guidelines; changing those expectations to set up employees to fail
13. Constant change and inconsistency. Constantly changing expectations, guidelines, and scope of assignments; constant inconsistency of word and action (e.g. not following through on things said)
14. Mood swings. Frequently changing moods and emotions; sharp and sudden shifts in emotions
15. Criticism. Constantly criticizing someone’s work or behavior, usually for unwarranted reasons
16. Withholding information. Intentionally withholding information from someone or giving them the wrong information
17. Projection of blame. Shifting blame to others and using them as a scapegoat; not taking responsibility for problems or issues
18. Taking credit. Taking or stealing credit for other people’s ideas and contributions without acknowledging them
19. Seduction. Using excessive flattery and compliments to get people to trust them, lower their defenses, and be more responsive to manipulative behavior
20. Creating a feeling of uselessness. Making an employee feel underused; intentionally rarely delegating or communicating with the employee about their work or progress; persistently giving employees unfavorable duties and responsibilities

Why Bullying is so Bad


Bullying and manipulation of this nature can affect our employees physically, emotionally, and psychologically. Employees may experience a great deal of distress as a result of their perpetrator’s behavior, which can manifest itself in frustration, anger, anxiety, insomnia, inability to concentrate, performance and productivity issues, and other physical and emotional symptoms. The treatment they experience also tends to influence their lives outside of work.

Oftentimes, employees don’t recognize bullying. Some may feel a vague discomfort at work towards their perpetrator that they cannot recognize. Others may feel that they are on an emotional rollercoaster with the person. Some may sense that they are experiencing toxic, unfair, or disrespectful treatment at times, but can’t understand why. Employees may dread or fear seeing the individual, not enjoy tasks or activities they liked before, and can even become physically ill from the stress of these actions.

Arthrex corporate claims to be one of the best places to work but this sociopath continues on out of control. He throws a tantrum and is escorted out of the hotel bar by security at his own meeting in front of our families and nothing happens. No wonder he doesnt allow us to contact corporate directly.

Numbers would explode if Arthrex put someone in charge that has any clue how to motivate and grow a sales team. This alcoholic has never done anything to help make me a better salesperson. What is the point in keeping him around? The only doctors he meets are those going to corporate for a lab, he has to protect that image. He does find time to issue endless threats and demands and of course to disrespect the personal time we spend with our families at night and on the weekends. Youre right its all about him all the time.
