Bobby Smithson

... the VP types as he sits at his house in his pajamas.

 

No.

 

more like your mother types as you sit in her living room because you live with your parents because you don’t sell anything... stop typing... go sell... buy your own home... hurry!

 

So inspiring. You are like the Tony Robbins of inspiring managers.

 

“Go Sell Something...”

- Tony Robbins

 

Haha this is what happens when someone gets promoted based on ass kissing vs having talent and leadership abilities. Gotta hand it to the High School grad for making it this far, well done!

No travel for VP’s because of Corona but they want us going to accounts? That is a hell of a way to develop trust. Do as I say not as I do.

 

It’s called the Peter Principle.

 

Hey Peter, check out channel nine!

 

CPL truly has a problem with promoting the wrong people and that is why we are in such a horrible position. Bobby is truly incompetent as are the people he surrounds himself with.

 

When I am down, and, oh, my soul, so weary
When troubles come, and my heart burdened be
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence
Until you come and sit awhile with me
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas
I am strong when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up to more than I can be
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas
I am strong when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up to more than I can be
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas
I am strong when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up to more than I can be
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas
I am strong when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up to more than I can be
You raise me up to more than I can be

- Josh Groban

 

CPL truly has SO much untapped potential but is held back by incompetent leaders. Few traits are as central to the anatomy of incompetence as arrogance. Bobby’s biggest problem is he thinks he is a great leader (arrogance) but he is not. He also surrounds himself with “yes men” who #1 are just as incompetent as him or #2 too weak to provide feedback.

As we enter the biggest recession of our lifetime we need competitive, competent leaders to guide us thru the tough times. Unfortunately we get “go sell something” and song lyrics. You can have the most positive person in the world rearranging the chairs in the titanic but it is still going to sink.

 

Anyone gonna make the trip this year? This was going to be my first year, but this covid might throw a wrench in that... we will see!

 

I agree we have so much potential Yet cannot get out of our own way. Austin needs to step up their game yet no one seems to care about the quality and patient care.

I am personally hoping they force dumb fuck Bobby out come June! I think Tony or Brody could do better and would do better.

 

Who is going to tell big head there is a thread of all those that hate him on CafePharma?

 

What we lack in ingenuity we make up for in... wait where was I going with this???

 

How long before Bobby implodes on himself and just has a breakdown? True leaders character comes out in stress and struggle and this man is no leader.

 

This thread is hilarious and accurate! I have gone thru 3 presidents. In that time lots of talk and no action. Lab needs an overhaul, billing needs an overhaul, half VP’s need to go, and GM role makes no sense. Just a way Bobby can pay his friends more.

Sonic needs to hire from outside to get some fresh blood and ideas. Reorg the upper management, overhaul billing, lab, and invest in patient experience, sales, and managed care.

 

Just be glad you don’t have to work daily with this jackass. You never know what you are going to get as he has more mood swings than my wife during menopause.

He is in over his head and relies too heavily on Carlson to help make business decisions. Carlson is a damn accountant with the personality of a rock! No experience and gives us monkey math each month!!

 

The only real post right here. Complete overhaul. It will never happen. It has become the good ole boy network. Middle management waste of salaries. Majority of management should not even be in their roles. They do nothing. Things will ever change unfortunately because at the end of the day, the Aussies are the ones making the call. They are too conservative. The next Pres will be a MD though. All the CEOs under Sonic umbrella are MDs.
