EM was no idiot but he was closed minded and ran this company like a dictator. Question him and you were "packaged". He only wanted "yes" people doing whatever he thought was best. With Steve, communication was flowing in both directions. Why do you think Doug left. He couldn't take Eldon for another day. Eldon refused to acknowledge that the payer landscape was going away from us. SF was only focused on the HUB and eventually quit trying to make it better. It is a damn shame how much things have changed in 1 year. LITERALLY 1 year ago, it was still a great place and business was GROWING! The growth stopped at the end of Q3 and has been flat ever since. (Declining in some markets!) I'm interviewing and people think we're all unethical. I hope everyone lands somewhere better but I'm not optimistic. MT said his goal was to change as little as possible so that we could continue to generate the much needed cash. The BIG LIE!!!

She so stupid she can't even build a LinkedIn profile. I hope she stays with the rest of her pups. I'd hate to see her go elsewhere and f up another division.
The most spot on post. I miss Steve and the way things use to be. The best is behind us and it's time to get out and not look back. Who ever in a million years would of thought these fools could of f'd up things to this extent in just a year? Honestly, i15 years from now, I expect to see this whole debacle on some late night, Geraldo Rivera behind the scenes expose, about how a billion dollar a year company was bought, pouched, gutted and filleted by a bunch of generic wannabes. And the punch line will be that Geraldo will find one of the former decision makers living on the family farm in up state N. Dakota growing organic alpha sprouts, another still living the dream in Hazelwood attending the local fish fry every Friday at the local K of C, one in the federal penitentiary, and the rest unaccounted for.
As for Steve......

At post #21. Doug and Susan didn't give up and leave, they were fired!! Big difference.
Whatever you want to call it. Doug stood up for his people and EM made his life miserable!!!!
3 more rheum managers say "goodbye". 4 in less than 2 weeks. 2 of Darlene's neuro followers. Wake up Hugh!!!
I think this is exactly what Hugh wants. It's part of his master plan to fix Acthar, to get rid of all Questcor folks one way or another. He knows best
That is BS. I talked to Doug right after he left. He saw what was happening and was all too happy to exit with a nice fat package. He was here very early on and banked some serious cash. I heard Susan worked for weeks or more to get packaged too and was very happy to exit.
Ahh Doug was pressured to leave because many times he was caught banging sales reps. No person that high up will ever admit that they were fired or forced out.
if you guys think its better to be somewhere else, I encourage you to think twice. there are issues and bullshit at every company, especially pharma. I know many people that have jumped ship only to find it even worse on the other side and now they can't come back. Leaving this company for any other company right now is absolutely an emotional decision with no logic. Unless your leaving the industry for devices or something, your an idiot to risk switching to another pharma company. I just had a cousin in pharma in new York quite a good job with a company equivalent to ours for a start up, the agent got approved, and after 3 months in the field they sold the company off. She got some stock options, but they didn't equate to what she thought ( small print in contact), but she wasn't there long enough to make big money, now she cant find an equivalent job to her old one she quit,, now she has job hopping started on resume, and the only open jobs are shitty pharma job that are not specialty. be smart! its fine here.......
Shame on you! Doug was awesome and he has a great relationship with his lovely wife. Check the numbers... rheumatology sales peaked at the end of his reign, (Q3 2014). His replacement should have stayed in neurology. Fired or packaged, he stood up to Eldon and it created a war. He was fighting for his people... He had backbone and was loyal.
Very funny!!!! I've talked to people who left a long time ago... THE GRASS IS GREENER!!!!!
things would be bad even if Malli didn't buy questcor. price gouging is how you built Acthar, it wasn't your "biotech" skills. prior leadership screwed the payer and paybacks are a bitch.
Last post is pretty much right on except for the part about the price is what built Acthar and not our biotech skills. If you go back and look at when the growth explosion first occurred, it was in 2010 when Questcor expanded the Neuro salesforce from 30 to 65 specialists. Almost immediately, the amount of referrals coming in and going out quadrupled. Was this success because of the price dumb ass? No it was because Questcor went out and hired a lot of successful sales people from other MS focused companies who used their relationships and MS market knowledge and skills to drive referral growth to record levels. This is the same formula that was used to kickstart sales in every other disease state since then. So before you go out and open up your mouth, check the facts first.
Yeah, you guys are doing a bang up job right now too with sales. Way to go Acthar is on fire!!
What happened to all of the sales people they forgot how to sell in the last 12 months? If it was not for price increases you would all be in the red. Get over yourself already!!!

aren't there fabulous biotech reps in this division that haven't sold a thing in awhile?
you guys have some cleaning up to do before you go on your rants. malli is a disaster but Qcor has been one in the making for a long time. if you had anywhere else to go you would have left by now so pour yourself another drink and figure out how you can do your job better each day instead of acting like a juvenile and blaming everyone else.
someone in demand with sought after biotech experience wouldn't resort to the tactics that we have seen posted here. well i guess you aren't sought after or you would have left by now!
so much for those rockstar biotech skills.

Some of the finest sales people I've ever had the pleasure of working with are at MNK/ARD. Thanks to neuro for paving the way for those of us who followed in other divisions. You created operational processes and knocked down barriers. You showed us that it could be done, no matter how difficult. Yes, we were paid (and granted equity) well for the hard work and outstanding growth. If you weren't here then you don't have a clue and should go to your company website to post. Haters gonna hate! BTW... not everyone here was successful. Consistently, 2/3 don't hit goal. If it were easy, anyone could do it.
