Layoffs

I would be happy to take that business from LabCorp!

 

Now is our time to shine. Prioritize the Labcorp accounts. Good for us that we have been doing that for the last three months. Surprisingly, taking business from you is really not that hard! My manager said maybe that is why she has been getting all these Labcorp resumes lately!

 

PAMA and the United debacle are hitting much worse than expected. Rumors now are that senior management is putting everything together in a way that layoffs will be massive but in intervals as not to alarm Wall Street too much. So glad they are looking out for the well-being on the employees.

 

Serious resonse please. When is Monrovia closing? What’s in the severance packages, who will do the cytology when Monrovia shuts down? Quest? After all, there is a cytotechnolgist shortage.

 

Ha. We are losing less UHC than anticipated and gaining more Aetna than projected. We are opening the largest laboratory in the country.

 

Where? Phoenix?

 

Houston Baby!!!! We rock!

 

What part the the country are you living in?? I am getting killed by United and Aetna doesn’t mean crap! Has to be management with more bs!! Sorry that we are not Wall Street so these lies aren’t believed!

 

Houston, baby! What a joke, baby! Still drinking the corporate bs, cheerleader?

 

There hasn’t been a lay off in Houston in over 2 years.

 

We’ll let the folks in all the other areas that said the same thing not to worry, providing we can find them since THEY WERE LET GO! You are basing this on only two years! I know some divisions that haven’t had a lay-off for over 8 and a quarter of the sales force has been terminated. Get ready, it’s headed your way! Unbelievable!

 

doubt it. Houston is privileged

 

Privileged? Your damn right we are!

 

You are likely covered by the WARN Act which is a federal law covering displaced workers that requires a 60 day notice of termination. There is "working" WARN and "non-working" WARN. Working means your employer wants you working right up to your last day. In that case you cannot start working at a new employer until your last day. Non-working means you're free from any work obligation so you could start with your new employer on day 1 of the 60 days, and receive pay from both companies. Just don't tell your old employer. While your old employer would like to know so they can strike you from payroll, I don't believe you are legally bound to notify them. That's the don't ask, don't tell situation.

 

Privileged?? From what we’re hearing out of Burlington, you folks are in for a HUGE shock within the next quarter!

 

Even if your assertions were true, there's not enough brain cells in Burlington to keep one deck chair from sliding off of this Titanic. I have never seen a company so determined to get rid of quality people, keep the DB's that don't know their backside from their front and simultaneously delude themselves into believing that they actually know what they are doing and that they take exceptional care of their employees. Yeah, I know, a run-on sentence..a.so sue me. They want and expect loyalty and give nothing in return but asinine policies, managers who can't manage because they have no clue what the word means, equipment and software that make a return to using slates and chalk feasible and this holier-than-thou attitude that reeks of "let them eat cake." Yes, I know that Marie Antoinette didn't really say that. What a bunch of clowns... it would be funny, except that people's ;lives and livelihood are at stake everyday.

Lives at stake?.......Really. Sounds like you work for the Peaky Blinders. Stop being such a pussy and get out. Your rant was just a waste of time. Plenty of work out there. Screw LCA. They are terrible

 

Just finished our sales meeting which was a complete joke. Talk about false numbers. The sales group that “took home the gold” has been losing accounts right and left and then the RBD goes on to brag about his team. How do you boast about your achievements when you can’t even maintain your big customers and are about to lose your “partners” that you have worked on for years. Senior management was your typical clueless bunch of clowns during the meeting. I felt like I was with a bunch of uneducated used car salespeople that finally made their monthly quota. You think an entire region would have a few stars in leadership but not with this group. We get a new vp that was absolutely worthless during Q4 of 2018 and this year doesn’t look any better! This bunch couldn’t lead a sales team out of a revolving door! So glad that retirement is on the horizon. This us going to get nasty! Rumor has it that Burlington thinks about us as “the Deliverance sales force”! Waiting for the banjo to come out of the “holler”.

 

Good to hear from a competitor’s standpoint. We are seeing that Labcorp is losing many large accounts as well. Thank you to your leadership team or whoever is screwing up!

 

i feel your pain. There is absolutely no quantifiable help from sales management here. Only words of wisdom is go out and sell!. How do these people have jobs here. Now we take in account for the weather, how many people had band camp that week, and bs like that to massage the numbers favorably. And when they DO make a decision, it is so knee-jerk that it screws up 4 other issues! We can only last so long riding the wave of older management’s leadership before these jokers screw the whole company up. Our new acronym for RMBD- Royal Master of Bad Decisions!
