Bio has chosen to push the old-timers, Independents, out. This is the issue, replacing them with big three management cast-offs with little or no field experience, in anticipation of a market structure based on commodity status i.e pricing. So you have the blind leading the dim witted, the good reps aren't sticking around. There has been a number of people let go recently; but, you won't hear that from BIO. "We're growing, 16 quarters, no layoffs" Truth is, that is BS, market contraction, or desire for a younger, cheaper workforce is their MO.
They have been hiring younger, cheaper, clinicals and driving out all but Western Medical, and Coop.
Dan could'nt make Bio into MDT, nor can the people he brought over. Pushing out the "old-timers" was their first mistake, and nearly cost them the HCA contract.
