    Prove that it's wasted money.

    If I wasn't such a dumb sum bitch I would say straight out that you are a dumb sum
    bitch. But I'm not.

    So that's why I say...Prove that it's a waste of money.

    You have no idea. Just wait until you meet him. This guy walked into S&N, declared product development broken, claimed he fixed it, then watched the division launch no new products over the next four years. They also claim a three year cycle time... In that time they had a new knee come out that was in clinical before he stated, a some new foot & ankle stuff (plates - whoa!), and they brought a cup over from EU. Guy is a loser. Just wait until he puts his son-in-law in a high paying, low responsibility position.

    Can someone explain what these guys actually DO all day? We have our hands full to the brim with actual work, and we keep getting these higher ups who have no idea what our products are about. How do you "develop a pipeline" when you don't even understand what we do. We never see these people outside of their ivory towers.

    He's a friend of Woody's, the job was created to give a friend a job. It's BS but it happens a lot in corporate America. I knew him from S&N...nothing about him motivates me in any way

    He's a friend of Woody's from GE. They were never at S&N at the same time - nor same division. Funny thing is when I asked the GE Medical Imaging guys in Wisconsin about him, none of them had ever heard of him.

    How is little man Gaurav treating you?

    I bet him and the other executives had a blast reliving the patent war between S&N, KCI, & Wake Forest... He probably relayed all the bets S&N bluffed on. And the KCI guys sigh and think about what could have been.

    . Another executive that likes to hear himself talk. Typical routine, make promises, don't follow through, have another meeting, apologize make more promises, never follow through etc,etc.

    Acelity filed their 10-K with the SEC. Noticed several retention and stay agreements were made with some top management folks.

    Interesting stuff, as the text speaks to "change in control" of the company. perhaps the end is near...

    That is a joke. The Company isn't doing well enough for that. It could take years for an IPO or CIC. In the mean time they keep doing more layoffs to get to their earnings, spend millions on consultants and Woody flies around on a private plane....!!!

    Per the 10-K the signing bonuses are a joke!

    Private plane? Wow, didn't know about that one. Agree that it's a titanic slap in the face for all of us.

    Anyone know the specifics...type, tail number? Would be interesting to have the number and see where he's flying off to.
