Salient Surgical Technologies



















Dear Employees:

It has been brought to management's attention some individuals throughout the Salient organization have been using foul language during the course of normal conversation with their co-workers.

Due to complaints received from some employees who are easily offended, this type of language will no longer be tolerated.

We do, however, realize the critical importance of being able to accurately express your feelings when communicating with co-workers.

Therefore, a list of 17 new and innovative 'TRY SAYING' phrases have been provided so that proper exchange of ideas and information can continue in an effective manner. These will be available on Starcast should you need to review them from time to time.

Also, please note, due to the fact that Salient is incapable of any original thought, these were basically plagiarized from another company’s board.

Number 1
TRY SAYING: I think you could use more training.
INSTEAD OF: Are you a F___ing idiot? Usually, directed at management.

Number 2
TRY SAYING: She's an aggressive go-getter.
INSTEAD OF: She's a f___ing bit__.

Number 3
TRY SAYING: Perhaps I can work late.
INSTEAD OF: And when the f___ do you expect me to do this? Again, usually directed at management.

TRY SAYING: I'm certain that isn't feasible.
INSTEAD OF: No f___ing way Jose'.

So, as all return home...of course the poor east coast won't get home till god knows when...

What did everyone think?

Who kept count of "That's a good question" or some iteration thereof?

The old US Surgical Tactics?

The whole trauma thing?

Anything else........

Let me guess JS is the king of the question comment. Tool Bag!!!! Trauma will be interesting for you as well. Yes, the east was hit so hard by the winter storm. Have not seen weather this bad in years. Safe travels and sell Trauma.
 


















I would like to know how that jackass, JD keeps his job? And why does he think people thinking he's so much older than he is, is so amusing? Does he not realize that's an insult? I wonder if he's aware of what else they say about him behind his back? Especially, his own people! And why did Salient hire him back? Makes you wonder........

Read back in the posts, apparently he wrote a letter to the board about Brown and there seems to be speculation as to what else he has on who knows who......

It's the only explanation as he really is incompetent, irresponsible, immature and inviting litigation for the company.

Hopefully, someone will wise up and fire him again....

Did you not notice the quality of the RBD's overall? Yes, JD is really well, talentless, but good god, the field is pretty sad. And the poor NE! How long without a real RBD and then they get a recycled US Surgical guy? Check out the Covidien board. The guy was not well liked. Looks like he'll fit right in here. Good Job, Larson!

Thanks chaps
 






























No kidding! BTW, Whoever posted the "try saying", classic!

Anyway, as for the NE it is a sinking ship that is now really sunk. As if JD weren't bad enough! At least he didn't do anything so he couldn't screw it up too badly.

Now we know why Larson didn't want to promote SD. He had his boy ready to go. What I want to know is does Army even question what goes on in the field? Or is he content so long as everyone keeps telling him how wonderful he is? And what about Hironimus? Surely he had to know this guys horrible history as USS?

You have to remember, Salient will get rid of the most talented people and bring on well less than talented ones. A friend that left there, by an under the table deal, was told that he should sell something that was a little more technically challenging. Not sure what that means, for he was 110% to quota when this little dirty deal took place. No worries though. He is doing really well again! The talented guys will not fit in with the management at Salient. You can control stupidity! The company originally thought that hospitals would order the device on the internet. Times have changed. Was a great crew in the beginning. Went from doors about to close, to biggest growth year ever achieved, to what it is now. From all of your post, it is worse. Somehow the company is still around for over 10 years. What does that say? Soon everyone will know.
 






I love how people tear down people when they takeover management positions. Every company has a crew at the top that sticks together for years and they always look out for one another and will always run companies no matter where they go. What is funny is you people will still just be sales people acting like you know it all and can run the place when in fact nobody would promote any of you to manage a soda machine. Yeah this place probably sucks but come back in one year and the company will still be around and a new set of reps will be crying.

Every company sucks in one way or another from the reps perspective. Get promoted and get in tight with somebody in management that can take you with them when they get promoted again. These companies are not here to make reps rich or happy. They are here to sell product and make executives and shareholders money. As long as you are a rep things will suck balls.
