VP of Sales: The Revolving Door







Let's see if LC will be accountable and do the right thing. There have been(and continue to be) huge misses by corporate. When will Covidien stop being the company that trains reps for better jobs and becomes a great company to work for? If you have been with Covidien longer than 2-3yrs, you are either a survivor of incredible challenges, or just stupid.

Sound like you may have been fired.
 












"she was far and away the most qualified person for the job." Huh??? What abot GW, JK or JM? Not qualified enough to be the VP of Sales? Two of them have grown up within Covidien. Then I guess LG is the most qualified to fill LC's position as AVP?? Did her region ever hit quota???

On top of that, mgrs internally are turning down the opportunity to interview for the AVP roles and they have to go outside to find them. Now you have to start to wonder what else is going on.

Hopefully Lori stays in touch with the people on the street and truly listens to her managers and AVP's. There is a lot of chatter amongst the troops and some very good reps are starting to leave and entertain other opportunities. The momentum is getting lost because of all of the backorder issues and reps are getting screwed because of it in their pocket. Don't be surprised if reps stick around until the start of Q1 of 2012 and a larger exodus occurs. The only ones left will be the ones who can't go anywhere else because they've been there to long and have the high bases that Covidien locked them in at to keep them put.

The ones who have the guts to leave will see when they join another company there is life after Covidien, and the grass is actually greener on the other side.

Go then, fools like you are a dime a dozen, do you have any appreciation for how many unemployed medical reps there are right now?
