Dropping like Flies and Many more to come

JL appears to be phasing into retirement. If anyone else at his level wanted to up and leave the corporate HQ for personal reasons, they would have been finished. But his BFF CW not only let it happen, but probably allowed the relocation to happen on the company dime. I wonder if the Frau even knows that the head of sales is no longer based at the North American HQ. What's that thing they always say - if you want to move up, you have to move west? Something like that.

Now JL is where he wants to be, he disengages, retires, boom. Where that leaves his sales team brings us back to the question: will Bill Wise take it all over?

 

Oh dear GOD! I guess all good things must come to an end. Surely CW would not be so stupid? Yes, I guess he would!

 

Re: Dropping like Flies and Many more to come-thank you dear colleagues

Friday was a sad day at Storz. One of our own "big names" completed his last day after a decade and a half of service. About the 3rd in the last month. There are many, many still on the fence waiting for promised changes in hopes that something will give before their background checks and offers from others are complete. They have been told by management not to hold their breaths as change just won't happen! Senior management has been advised for the last 2-3 years that the defections were coming but just don't care. How will these long term relationships with key players be replaced? They won't!
Good luck to our old friends departing for new medical device companies and thank you for your service and all you have done for the company!

 

who left on friday?

Well, who was it??

 

I heard Charles Jeffreys left. Great guy.

Thanks Chris, why don't you include this rock star management theory in your next pod cast?

 

The tenured reps that have left the company or transferred within the company: Tom Hickman, Charles Jeffries, Sean Potter, Sandy Green, Ted Cook and Doug Hawkins; these are just the ones that I know, I am sure there are more,

 

All these guys are has beens and are way past their prime. They had become lazy and irrelevant. Any recent success in these territories has come from the efforts of the emerging market reps. Those are the reps driving the growth of the company.

 

ok Pannett.

 

How does transferred within the company equate to leaving? They are still there.

Heard SG was going to get canned for a shady deal, that's why she left.

All the veteran reps who aren't contributing are still employed. CW is too weak to fire them, and the managers don't have the power to get rid of these guys.

Have fun continuing to lose deals to Stryker.

 

this shit is getting bleak. get out while you can.

 

All the good H&N and Uro reps are gone. The only people left are the loser surgical reps.

 

Boom! Boom! Boom! Another one bites the dust! Better opportunities abound without the dwindling pay and constant headaches with no pay.

Someone quit on a Saturday? This sounds like a post from a drunk surgical rep. Get off your couch and go sell something, or get out of the way and let the emerging markets show you how it's done.

 

"How does transferred within the company equate to leaving? They are still there."

I should have explained myself better. There are other companies sharing the Karl Storz name that do not report to CW or Sybill, they are totally independent with totally different management, the individuals that transferred, accepted jobs with one of these companies, more like what it was 10 years ago,

I know SG, darn good rep

 

What happened to CH in IA? Heard he went to a competitor?

 

who is CH?

 

Piss off Smith.
