Stock price and leadership

I am curious if our leadership is concerned about our stock price. It is a fact they have made bad decisions and acquired companies in the past that have significantly hurt our company. Some of their recent purchases are questionable to say the least. They take away our excellent Healthcare among other things to give us ok Healthcare and then make bad decisions with the money they save. Is anyone held responsible for making these bad purchases and hurting our company? They will spin it at the NSM to make it seem as though the numbers work out. They don't. Remember we were also told at a NSM about a bonus for the salesforce by KK that she renegotiated and backed out of afterwards. .. she has still never admitted making a mistake which is the worst part. I am not a troll so don't buy into that garbage... I have only posted on here 2 or 3 times. I am an employee of Shire who is concerned with the direction we are heading. I still believe in our product and enjoy helping my physicians and patients.
 






I can find only one bull market, in 1935, that didn't have some material indigestion within its first 12 months. Exercise patience with Shire stock. Our management is smart and knows how to ensure a successful future for the achievers at Shire.

This is the chronic ass-wipe who posts meaningless plagiarized quotes to derail criticism (this one from Ken Fisher). The stock has plummeted as the street realizes the promises of revenue growth can't be maintained by continued cost cuts ( decreased bonus and benefits) and price increases, and as we have insufficient products from our R&D group we have to go out and overpay for other companies. That's why the stock is down. Leaders are incapable and culture is unpleasant, but we get paid and nobody really seems to care what we do.

You're only worried now? These fools have f'ed this place up since they started.
 






I have been at Shire for less than 2 years but post #4 on here seems more accurate than post #2 on this thread. I would say a large majority feel that way. I just hope we are all wrong.
 






it is hard to have confidence in FO decisions when he has repeatedly brought someone as incompetamt as KK with him to multiple companies. Her lack of business acumen has cost the NBU more than anyone will ever know. The list of poor desicions is long. On top of the list is her decision to expand the NBU sales force for the BED launch and and then develop a call plan which has an INCREASE in calls on Pediatricians. The only customers that should have increased reach and frequency this past year were adult potential physicians. An entire year leading the NBU with a poorly thought out call plan. What a waste.

Develop a can-do-spirit and be sure you are not suppressed by the naysayers whose daily actions are meant to discourage you from achieving what you believe.
 






Stock price has tanked this week because of all the Baxalta news. Baxalta stock up. Shire stock down. Market doesn't have confidence in Shire with the deal. FO wants the deal bad. If this deal doesn't go through, it is his second big deal he can't close. Board is all about stock price. Think FO could be out of Shire if he can't make this happen - head of Board is all about M&A. Plus he's been around more than 2 years, which is the longest he's been anyplace for a while. Hope all his "friends" then join him at his next place.

They will have no choice but to join him as they will shortly be canned after his exit and then humbly wait around until he lands somewhere and starts the next fire sale. They have no network and could never land a spot somewhere else on there own. Just look at KK. She sat around for eight months until Perry "made room" for her. All of these cronies are like the immigrant day laborers who stand on the street corner waiting to get picked up. Truly pathetic.
 






Let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.
 










































Found this article written in the Wall Street Journal today very interesting and it hits right on this topic. Below is a small piece of it.

Bernstein’s Mr. Gal said for Dr. Ornskov to be right that Baxalta would prove resilient against new competitors, “a bunch of smart people have to be wrong. That makes investors uncomfortable.”

He questioned the logic of Shire exposing itself unnecessarily to the risky hemophilia market.

Let's hope the smart people are wrong and our CEO Dr. Ornskov is right.
