My hope is that they get rid of the current jokers masquerading as leaders.
Take all their bad attitudes and even worse ideas with them to the next stop and leave all of us alone

What a joke, I like how they tell us our jobs are not guaranteed with the commitment letter. Also, where are our goals who cares what the commission payout is if our goals are stretch.
 






You would think it's a sad day on the western front because as of tomorrow, but it's not since everyone will be free at last! I will not say that there was not a small part of some of us that wanted things to end different but with this outcome I am glad to not have to deal with JW or MR for another day. I had such a high opinion of JW and it is now tarnished, I am about ready to take that "Tales From the Crypt" story take it in the out house, shoot it with my shot gun, run it over with my truck, shoot it again, and let the vultures at it (right along with that guitar and that dang voice box of his!!). If you want to be genuine how about try doing the right thing for once (starting with the severance), and stop doing things for self gain and stop backing your little ginger buddy MR protecting his underqualified friends in operations. MR is nothing more than a sad friendless kid that never grew up still harboring the pain. As an adult the only way he is able to maintain friendships is to offer jobs to friends, just ask JV the product development specialist who has maintained this job title for a year since there has definitely been no products developed by the company at all. Please keep SH and MY on for another month so that they can alternate PTO weeks and SH can swap out her expensive shoes for some accutane!
 






Your non compete is over, DO NOT sign the new one. They get 2 years and you get nothing? Trust NO ONE. Picture rats on a board floating in a flood. Its a 2x4 with 20 rats, thats your leadership team. Watch what the rats do to each other.
Be Switzerland, tied to no one. Mgmt needs you more than you need them now. Go around and over them to the new, real leaders of AIT.
 












"Who wants to $&@@ me?"
That was an awesome line
Thanks for the memories!!

PS can you sue a company that doesn't exist any more?

Lmao the memories are all we have left and now this company full of wannabes can continue in their tonka rolls while the real meat and potatoes of the business move on to bigger and better!

Role, let me correct myself before someone who isn't qualified to swat a fly tries to correct me and I morph into satan!!
 






They're honestly blackmailing those that won't stay on by telling them they won't get severance or be eligible for unemployment.

SH, MY, and AD know they can't fake their way around the lab in front of each other, so they have to get on their knees and beg MR to find a way to screw the real workers over to make them look good for another few months.

Oh, and managers get 1-2 years of severance. Stay classy, PCLS.

Sweet deal for managers!!
We deserve it
 


















I'm quit shocked PM is in New England today and not on stage crying fake tears for PCLS's final day.

I'm sure he is cooking up some other scheme to make money off of in the northeast.
 






























This is not easy.



Healthcare has always been subject to dramatic shifts – and we are seeing this in spades over the past few years . The introduction of ACA is forcing hard decisions on every provider of health care. In addition, in the last year there has been unprecedented payer pressure in the toxicology space. We are sorry it is forcing us to change our business model, but we have no choice but to change.


I want to share some thoughts with you below. Please digest them and we will have Town Hall meetings next Tuesday to discuss these in more depth.



In changing our business model to reflect industry changes we made some internal adjustments that frankly stalled sales over the summer:



·In July we raised our bill rate to 2x Medicare. It was a necessary step; however, this change created a lot of noise with our customers and we needed to focus resources on communicating to them why the change was required.

·On July 25th we implemented our new LIS system SCC. Since 2009, we have used a software system called APeasy. As we grew, this software slowed us down immensely. Building a new scalable, integrated software solution was more than necessary. It took 2 years to complete. The first couple of weeks it was bumpy and tested everyone within PCLS. Our salesteam did a phenomenal job battling this adversity – but it took them away from filling their sales funnels and forced them to focus on retaining business.

·We chose to discontinue our cytology and clinical chemistry (except PHI) product lines. Both were distracting us from our core toxicology business. This hurts total daily sample count, but helps the company’s bottom line.

In addition we have had some external forces hit us:



·A Palmetto LCD was released no longer covering our most common PGX, 2D6, which reduced our volume of genetics to only the psychotherapeutic panel.

·Private payers have chosen to reduce amount of coverage or frequency allowed at a faster pace than expected for toxicology testing reducing our RPA.



We sincerely thank all the employees for working long hours to deal with the above challenges. We know all of you want to know where PCLS is headed. Here are some of the initiatives PCLS continues to be focused on:



•One pipe toxicology process flow. This means we restructured our menu to have the most efficient work flow process while reducing re-preps. Our goal remains to have the lowest cost in the industry.

•Turn Around Time of 80% of results in 24 hours with minimal outliers

•70% customers ordering electronically to reduce key errors

•We are focused on increasing our reach in TN, FL, TX, KY, SC, NC, and MI to maximize our managed care, lobbyist and sales representation.

•Continued focus on local and nation in-network status with Humana, Cigna, Aetna, and other health care players

•Sales structure that supports greater collaboration of gaining new customers, hospitals, accountable care organizations while also supporting and nurturing our current customers.

•Quality circle work groups to look at each step in the chain ultimately getting to root cause analysis to change future outcomes.

•Future menu of a bladder cancer and prostate cancer diagnostic tests



We remain committed that it is to our advantage if PCLS reacts to the industry changes faster than its competition. The industry needs a leader and we can move to be that leader. We need to have an employee empowered system of change in order to move forward. This involves making changes in your respective area. We need your suggestions and support as a team. Please reach out and share your ideas to anyone in the company or bring them to the town halls on Tuesday.



Thanks,



Paul and Mark
 







All the tool bag "leaders" at Rock Hill thought they had it figured out.
Spewed all those lies, half cocked strategies, poor biz decisions, and useless hires...
And all the employees bought their story.
I'm trying to figure out who was dumber. The only surprise was that they lasted as long as they did. Good riddance all of you who have to type those four letters onto a resume
