Word out of the Corporate Office...Heads To Roll...Starting with North East First

Run as far away from this as you can, It’s a complete mess.

 

I just checked the earnings....WHY IS ROGAN STILL THERE?

 

Go to something other than dental...

 

I would recommend Amway...

 

They are massaging the company to be absorbed, then the contracts and legal crap that Guggenheim have in place from the Guggenheim Dental acquisition become null and void(Potentially). They placated the worker bees with a "Bonus" if you call 60% of a paycheck a Bonus to shush them for a bit (this is how the bonus structure use to work for some).

I would have stayed if I thought the company would turn itself around but that isn't the reality. The Managers that have been there are just trying to salvage as much as possible. People that were let go in 2016 were given the best possible alternative because the stock was still hovering around the $50 mark.

Now it's junk and if you're a 20+ year employee of Patterson, you were completely hosed by a group of greedy IDIOTS that all still live in Minnesota for the most part. Too many people given way too much, too early and screwed everyone else in the process due to ignorance. Gutless cowards that spun their mistakes into mission statements and BS cliches.

For the people still whining and complaining. It's time to leave and let the anger go, it's not worth it. As with any profession, there are good and bad people. Patterson was simply run poorly by people that cared more about renovating their homes vs. strengthening the company itself. Investors saw through the BS when they sold off Medical. Animal health is now the only healthy piece of Patterson.

Moral of the story, when someone who is part of a business that loses over 3 billion in value tells you that you aren't ready to lead, that's when you know you're talking to someone that shouldn't lead anybody.

 

Thanks for this insight. I am sure there is a lot more to the story but you summarized things enough for me to go in another direction.

 

The really brutal fact is that the Minny Mafia knew exactly what was happening to the company before it started to unravel and kept lying to the market and the employees, all the while paying themselves healthy bonuses and exit packages.

I hope the class action suits rip them apart.

Bunch of pricks.

 

WTF ARE YOU DRINKING

 

OMG who listened to yesterday's Dental Podcast with Little Timmy and some marketing lady? He actually tried to explain how they fucked up private label so royally with vendor changes ("Leaning in") in search of ever cheaper masks and tray covers and ridiculous back orders right in the middle of their sales contest. And now the marketing brain trust has decided to rebrand our software portfolio as "Revolve" because it has the hidden word "Evolve" in it as evolve is what we must do to stay competitive. This madness is straight out of a 300 level fashion merchandising class. I was just getting used to seeing "Edge" on the end of everything. Then the coup de gras when little Timmy tells us the sub $20 stock price is in all of our laps for not growing our business enough. Can't make this stuff up. Oh but at least we're "Back to good."

 

That little runt keeps messing shit up more and more each day. The only thing that makes sense is someone at the top shorted the stock and kept this loser in charge knowing it would plunge.

 

i have said several times....why is that little shit head still here? He has done nothing but screw things up since he came to corporate. He was not a superstar in a territory. In fact the only incentive trip he made was for selling office supplies. He might have been successful as a manager because of the reps he had at his branch , not because of his “leadership” abilities as proven by how he has screwed up at corporate.

 

You better be joking about the “in your lap” garbage. That pisses me off. Looking for the podcast now.

 

that little prick has been saying the “ in your lap crap” since he became a big shot corporate guy. He will not take responsibility for the bad decisions he has made and continues to use his voice and his MBA ( which Patterson paid for) knowledge to continue to bullshit his way to more failures. As someone else has said....why is he still here? All the other morons have gone on to screw up other company’s. He must have pictures!

 

I'm learning to not be surprised by any of the madness I see out of PDCO corporate these days, but the fact a multi billion dollar company has this little rat bastard sitting in any prominent position is still quite amazing. Maybe they keep him around as cannon fodder or a lightning rod when the shit really hits the fan.

 

How much more shit is there left here? Are you saying it’s going to get worse???? The past idiots ruined the company and unbelievably they’ve kept a few of these boobs around but haven’t we bottomed out yet? I sure hope so.

 

As long as they keep rats like Rogan around this company is doomed. When will the board and others wake up to see guys like Rogan are a cancer!

 

When the stock hits single digits (next earnings report) effectively becoming classified as a penny stock and being delisted from Nasdaq, maybe then. Or when our new overlords take over and clean house... Nah the runt is immortal, he'll outlast us all.

 

That little guy has always pointed fingers at the sales reps. He has never and I mean never taken responsibility for his screw ups. One of these days the management will wake up and realize guys like him and Guggie are not qualified. Look at the mistake that was made with Guggie.....he was made president and FAILED. If Patterson did not buy his family’s business he would be a roadie for some local band. Rogan is still trying to be a big fish in s big pond. I would like to bait a hook and catch the little perch and filet him.

 

Timmy's last branch manager job was in Metro NY/NJ and he left it a shit show.

 

He’s a dirtball, leftover from an era long gone. He’ll disappear one day and no one will remember him other than the legacy he and a handful left of demise. They cashed in, that’s all that matters and always has to them.
