Wow!!! I was reading this thread and could have sworn I was reading the one for Otto Bock OS. I guess OBOS isn't the only organization that is having a difficult time. As for Ben, the person that wrote he is arrogant hit the nail on the head. It wasn't uncommon for Fbombs to be heard anytime you were in a room with him. He called service reps "drivers" and acted like all sales people were just lazy and stupid. It was apparent from the beginning he didn't see the value in relationship building between sales and the physician. I'm sorry to hear that his parting with OBOS didn't seem to cause him to reflect on his way of managing. He constantly talked about people scamming the company and I always wonder why people like him are so paranoid. I had personal experience with him underhandedly doing something behind my back, which was very unfortunate.
For those of you who have to interact with him, don't trust him any further than you could throw him while in his car. If you don't belong to a good church, join one now because you will need the break from the constant verbal bashing. I saw a shirt one time that said, "the beatings will continue until moral improves". I seriously thought about buying one for him. If he starts to show pictures of his grass and explaining how he wants his grass cut, ask him what use is it to cut the grass the way he wants if you eventually don't have any grass to cut. God speed Apria!!!!!!!!! Welcome to the party!!!!!
