    I can't believe they finally forced this guy out of the company. He was a running joke at the company for years. In addition to having a serious Napoleon Complex, he contributed absolutely nothing to the bottom line of the company.

    Mr. Dundon was a ass hat that I had many of encounters with. He was/is extremely unethical and was unconcerned with the upward movement of his employees. I am proud to say I thew his Napoleon complex ass under the bus to his superiors several times. He couldn't sell if his life depended on it.

    I never understood how he got or kept his job. It always seemed that no one had any respect for him whatsoever. I'm sure there is more to the story that I don't know.

    Tough job...always going to be winners and losers when deciding how people are paid or who will be promoted up into higher levels of managment. Hard to argue with Tim's success as the growth and market share increase under all his years of President is almost impossible to argue. The common sentiment is he retired but could have stayed as long as he wanted. Guess it's just his turn to get beat up here on Cafepharma.

    Tim? Is that you Tim? Do you miss being the boss Tim? I know we miss making fun of you. To set the record straight, you had nothing to do with the growth of the company. The company grew in spite of you, not because of you.

    It would have never done any good to complain to the Mills about his Napoleon Complex.
    Some of the old timers may remember on of Tim's speeches at a promo meeting long ago. He told about how either Jim or John came to Tim to talk about taking the position. He said they took a long walk and Jim or John gave him insight and told him he could do the job. Tim never said what they told him, but it went something like this. 'Tim if you take this position and do our bidding you can treat people who are smarter than you, better looking than you, more educated than you, taller than you like total crap.' As long as you do our bidding without question. So it would have never done any good to complain about little Napoleon to the Mills. Tim was put in that position exactly because of his Napoleon Complex. The Mills are smart and used Tim to their advantage as their proxy to treat the sale force like crap.

    In my 10 years with Medline I had two very unprofessional encounters with Mr. Dundon. Both of which I was a striving rep and had some "street value" with the Mills, Barth, etc of the world. In both of those encounters, I was treated with such vigor and disrespect by the Napoleon that I've never seen in my entire professional career. I am happy to say that in both instances he did receive a call from Charlie expressing his disappointment regarding Dundon's actions. Nonetheless, I pulled the ripcord a few months later and took a much better opportunity with a med device market leader. I personally hope he chokes on an Oreo. Many Medline exec's strive on the punishing bully approach to managing, I never bought in....I just bit back when I knew I was right....otherwise I took my lumps. Don't lay down to these chumps.

    Advice: get to know your bosses bosses boss, you fool.
    Btw, Tim had an MI earlier this year after retiring, and is a good guy. I remember when he bought an x5 and i told him his x3 was sweet.
