Female VP's Exit in Mass Numbers

Sadly, the good old boys club is alive and well at Baxter. At least three senior level VP's have left the company in the past month. There won't be many left at this rate. Baxter is becoming a terrible workplace for women who are at the senior levels. Diversity and Inclsuion - what a joke!

 

Who left?

 

Grow a pair! Wait, if they had grown a pair, they'd still be with Baxter.

 

And why are they leaving? And leaving from Baxter or Bio?

 

I love these posts saying such-and-such left Baxter without any specifics. Tool!

 

Two from Baxter Quality, one from HR.

 

They were of now use anyway. Only looking out for their own agenda. Never saw so many senior female leaders at a company that were so unqualified for their roles...

 

Agree. Just look at Meg M. No Sales experience but she is a AVP of Sales for BioSurg. You only get promoted at Baxter if you don't have a pair.

 

And what about Antoinette That makes 4. The head of hr at Baxter Dr JM should have been the first one fired

 

Agree. Dr. JM won't retire as long as Bob is around, though. Why would she when she is making over $2M/year? She will ride it out as long as possible. She is pretty much the COO.

 

The VP of QA/RA for Baxter-Gambro-Renal is gone. That makes 5.

 

When is Nancy Laue being shown the door. She is an embarrassment to Women Leaders. Brik, please act soon

 

Baxter is one of the least progressive healthcare/pharma/device companies in the midwest for attracting and retaining top female senior leadership. Any of the good ones that join find out quickly how bad it is and then they leave as soon as possible for better places.

 

Actually Meg won 6 trips while in the renal division as a sales rep. She is out of her league in the OR environment.

 

A protip: success has to be earned,if it's given then it not worth much...huh? Lowering the bar hurts everyone. Hell, Meg didn't need the bar lowered....she won 6 trips.

 

If winning trips is the end-all for measuring the caliber of a sales rep then we are on unsteady ground. Some of the most incompetent reps I have had the pleasure of working with have many trips under their belt. Meg and others didn't get promoted due to trips alone we have some very solid leaders (not all) that are excellent at playing corp politics. Don't be fooled, if you want to make it at any company this is a major component.

 

Here's and observations that Senior Leadeship has ignored, the East RMs doing whatever they can to get away from Dave Clark. I count four out of eight RMs have left or moved to other positions in Baxter in 2014. A fifth RM was fired, he was Clark's brilliant Tampa hire, he lasted 90 days.

 

Yes, in line with this thread, Clark is the worst female exec ever... stop smoking crack.

 

"Mass" Numbers? How many Female VP's does Baxter have?

 

Amanda M is a VP of bioscience/gammagard and never won anything as a rep or in the 1 1/2 years she was a manager. no balls=promotion to VP
