PDCO Stock Tanking Before Earnings Release on 05/24!

What does Wall Street know that Patterson employees don’t?

Is $22 not yet the bottom?

Were our Year-End Numbers below expectations?

 

Wall Street knows Patterson is a dead horse but they enjoy beating them until they disappear. Employees know its also a dead horse but can't leave because theyve got no place to go. Those that are emoyable and have decent books of business have left. Those that remain, eh there's some who could still but most are incapable of doing anything for themselves and would struggle in a other organization.

 

You are either an idiot or don’t work here. Yes, it was a difficult year - but pipelines are full, supplies look good (need faster software) and lots of prospective projects on the horizon. It’s not just me, either... most of the reps in our area are doing well. Go sell bullsfit someplace else.

 

Your days are numbered Rogen you little shit.

 

Hahahahahahahaha. So tell me again how good SAP is. Please enlighten me. I'm tired of saying I'm sorry to.my customers due to SAP and other bs thats solely on corporates shoulders. Doing well is relative... I'm doing better this year then last but I'm having to work twice as hard just to keep what I have due to all of the constant issues.

 

Freaking shill!!

 

If you struggle with SAP, have you asked for remedial training to address your inadequacies? SAP the future of Patterson and many other large companies. Complaining about it won't do anything at this point except make you look like an idiot as everyone else picks it up. Ask for help if you need it. I guarantee you your manager will work something out.

 

Thank you PDCO management, for your out of touch assessment

 

Seriously? Inadequacies? How about stop being fucktards and listen to the field when we tell you that customers are unhappy with Patterson. When they're tired of the backorders, misshipments, billing issues etc etc. This is the issue with this company, blame others and deflect from.the real issues, unqualified managers across the board and poor decision making for YEARS! We're working our asses off out here and support doesn't exist anymore. Its any wonder the stock is tanking, the analysts are doing their homework and know what we in the field who are honest acknowledge, Patterson is a sinking ship .. I'm outout, gratefully have an interview next weekweek, time to get away from.a place that doesn't support or appreciate those who perform.

 

SAP, is so great that we decided to hault the rollout in Canada.While cumbersome, the shit actually gets to their customers, so I’m told. They’re losing market share for other reasons, mainly due to a clueless dolt sent by Pumpkinhead who’s now out of there.

This house of cards was built by an out of touch board who still tell their stories of saving Patterson 30 years ago. They’re the reason for this mess. They handpicked people that were way over their heads to make and execute real growth strategies and to adapt to a changing market. Over the last 10 years, Anderson, should’ve been waiting tables; Guggenheim, busker at a bus depot; Misiak, at best a pizza delivery boy; Runt Rogen, Uber driver; Gugino, bookkeeper at a convenience store and stocking shelves as part of her duties; Killian - serve ice cream cones at a Dairy Queen at best. They of course surrounded themselves with dopes at regional levels too. What did keep us afloat for the most part were better reps, service techs and back office staff at the branch level.

When you have such a clear lack of talent in critical positions the results are exactly what we’re seeing here. Schein and us were virtually the same size 15 years ago, look at them now as worldwide leaders in their verticals compared to this shrinking pile of dung.

 

The job descriptions are awesome. Thanks for that.

 

Meanwhile our friends in Melleville NY released earnings yesterday up 10% Year Over Year in Dental. I suppose one could speculate that ours will be down a proportional percent. Fortunately for me I have another interview with them soon!

 

I agree, you need to do get help man. Maybe get some help for more than just SAP training. Tomorrow I want you to think about how you can help your customers and how you can contribute to the company's success. We've all heard enough of your incessant complaining, now get out there and sell, bud.

 

G F YS!!! Its a riddle...hint, first word is Go, last word is Yourself.....LOL

 

The people who are full of optimism about the future of our company fall into a few categories:

1) they are naive
2) they are in management and have been brainwashed
3) they have very little in the way of ESOP or stock in PDCO
4) they are new to the company
5) they are just plain stupid

 

Good one. Did you get that from your teenage kid?

 

Stock is at a 15 year low. I think the BOD is taking it as a personal challenge of how low can they go.

 

Easier to be acquired if it’s low low low. Fire sale everything must go!

 

Tomorrow is going to be the test. Another earnings report like the last one and its game on for the sharks looking for a quick meal.

 

there's not much profit in dental these days with this level of competition.
The only thing keeping the stock above $20 is dividend.
