It's a sinking ship right now...there's no denying it. Good idea to be proactive right now and start planning your exit if you haven't already done so...or at least have your resume ready to go. If you disagree...put the Kool-Aide down and really think about it.

Sincerely,

Capt. Obvious

Sinking ship? We are only losing 85% of the revenue of the company with Benicar and Welchol going bye-bye with no hope of filling the gap. What's the problem?

I'd hope that it's based on some combination of experience, performance, territory and competence. I suspect it will more likely be either random or based on youth, appearance and gullibility.

As an HO employee privy to some info, the following are my thoughts. DSI is in trouble. Period. There are lean times ahead. The company will survive, but at what cost? And what will the future really be like? Folks – look at what is happening now. Here are the issues: Our New leadership APPOINTING positions. Bad Regional Management; Horrific District Management (I’ll get to this later). Pathetic pipeline. Sad Culture.

Starting with new leadership, I do think KK has it in him to change some things for the better. But not by much – Joe Peroni and “the days of Joe Peroni” are long gone. Yes, Benicar did take off and put us on the map, but times are different. You think our reps were that good? Newsflash – you get the things you want when you pay doctors! Too many of our old regime reps have this false sense of achievement and talent – and they are seeing this now when they can’t sell a drug without buying off HCP’s through Pod programs. RL is NOT off to a good start as KK’s right hand. He should spend more time fixing this broke-ass company and less time finding young reps who want to sleep their way to the top (Hint Hint – Orlando. Yes, everyone saw you and your ways).

But appointing positions with no legit (keyword: legit) interviews? Come on KK and RL! 2 RD’s in the NE? One Specialty RD now in the South? And this fiasco with promoting very-little-talent PC Reps into HOS positions? You are encouraging people to pack it in, fellas! Get off your high horse because you came from Amgen – trust me – the experienced reps are leaving in droves. Especially in the next few weeks. They are smart. You will be left with scrap metal if you keep alienating people.

Next onto Management. The whole world up here knew LC needed to go. It was a long time coming. BM getting canned was needed too. And his old guard is about gone – but the justification of promoting some of these DM’s into their current roles has been a head scratcher for some time. For example, let’s look at the South. The South is where we really see and hear about weaknesses, insufficiency and problems. Having LT move back to the Central hurts the South as CB has his own agenda. And CB’s management underneath him is going to feel the burn. SG, new Tampa CV DM, is probably the company’s biggest Idiot. He was horrific when he was in the NE. The complaints coming in about him are fascinating. His name may rhyme with “Pal”, but his future here is NILL. There is BW (or WW if you go by formal name), PC DM out of Tallahassee, that has an IQ of 3 and literally needs Hooked on Phonics to learn how to speak. SC in Atlanta and the ABM HH – yeah, that’s what you get when you check the box. The only thing worse than losing all of your reps (SC) is being an ABM and not getting promoted in what seems like a decade. And then there is KA out of Jacksonville. Wow, the complaints and documentation about this “Belly” are out of this world. She’s ANOTHER lawsuit waiting to happen. Investigation is on-going. It’s amazing how some of these no-talent idiots last as long as she has. But when you drive to one of your rep’s homes when they are on disability to check on them, you can pretty much guarantee you are a GONER. NG, also out of ATL, used to be a golden child. Now it seems she can’t play for a D-Squad. Don’t mean to pick on the South, but I figured the NE has been taking it on the chin with this LC crap and the West is about to be butchered – that I would just give you a sample of what we know is going on up here.

And our pipeline? Nothing. Pain Management excites reps as much as genital warts. “lyrica type drug”? Come on KK, another ME-TOO drug? Yikes. Oncology was and is a total disaster. Savaysa is a DOG people. The data is not that bad. But for you all that bought into all the Cherry Kool-Aid in Orlando, wake up! This DOG will never replace Benicar. We have no Managed Care. And MM is about to get WHACKED! You are only told what OUR study groups say about Savaysa. Did you ever think what Eliquis’ study groups say about Savaysa? Again, wake up! The only smart reps are getting out now. Many blockbuster drugs are being launched soon so why on earth will any of us stick around to bust our humps only to be passed over for APPOINTED POSITIONS, to be lead by INCOMPETANT MANGEMENT to sell DOG drugs that would secretly make you wish you’d rather have a “burning sensation”?

Face the music, DSI. The fat lady is singing…

The big layoff will be around October with the sales field. That's all I know right now.

DM in Jacksonville FL needs a psychological evaluation and should definitely NOT be in a management position! Please help! SOS!

It amazes me she's still employed! How many more of her reps need to leave before upper management takes serious notice! Her RD has no backbone and zero guts! This one was not even a hard decision! It's inexcusable.

When we continually promote the worst into leadership positions we will have poor leadership and problems. DSI continues to promote the worst and you cannot expect even average leadership as a result.

I'm so glad this witch is being called out. Kelly has zero talent and even less of a life. I worked for her a few years back and was having a GC year. Next thing I know, she's on me for CPA, redoes my routing and puts me on a plan. All because she has a miserable home life.

She is at a level that is below the devil. When she gets what is coming to her, she'll be lucky to get a job at Summer Waves in Jekyll Island selling slushies.

She's the worst of the worst. But it goes beyond that...this woman has some serious underlying mental health issues and her reps continuously are on the receiving end of her abusive behavior. It's awful and just sickening to watch. It is without a doubt a hostile work environment working under her in Jacksonville.

Someone please tell me...is KA still employed? The former DM for Jax and now a KAM. She is a cancer in people's lives.
