When I officially started my 15x15 campaign Merck stock was around $30 per share. Roughly one year later it is now over $45. That's a nice 50% gain! Since Merck has launched no new products, I have to believe that it is due to my 15x15 strategy and all the reps that have joined the movement. Together we are making this company the darling of Wall St! If we cut back to 7.5 hours per week will it go to $60 or $70? Maybe I should run this company! Rock on! The 15x15 Guy
Fifteen guy, I love you and am a vp in hr . Guess your like Robin Hood and I bet you are very sexy xoxox
15 X 15...You are a hero to the masses !!! You clearly have a sense of humor and brains far beyond your tormentors. PS: I have worked HQ for the past 10 years...please know that you are a hero not only in the field but also here among the poor "institutionalized' HQ folk. HQ has worse morale and work ethic than the inmates at Shawshank (sp?). The hate and despair is palpable as everyone knows the ship is sinking. Teamwork is non-existent as those left behind try to salvage their ridiculous careers by hurting others. Work is at a stand still...People don't even bother getting in at nine anymore...the buildings are vacant by 3:00. I arrive in my office at 9:00....close the door, and burst out laughing knowing that I have 8 hours to kill doing virtually nothing. We spend half the day complaining the day away, or sneak our private lap tops to work so that we can at least hist craigs list, ebay...and of course The Cafe... Great work Ken...you have succeeded in crushing the morale and work ethic of everyone around you. Gee, some analyst ought to calculate the lost revenue caused by all of this despair, over compliance and political patronage. The biggest shame and irony....this is not what people came to Merck for.
Actually, it is a great stock to hold and appreciate. Plan on selling early this morning 6000 shares of unrestricted options at the strike price of 32, After the November downsizing announcements the stock will probably go much higher - and then another profit gaining move will be undertaken on an additional 8000 shares. If you 15s were capable of management positions you could also enjoy such perks - of course you would need to change your criminal ways - remember Thou Shalt Not Steal.
please save your righteous pontification for somewhere else. Manglement (err oops; management) like you should take a look at and heed your verse as well. Thats where the real stealing occurs
If it's such a great stock to hold and appreciate then why are you selling now especially if you said you think it will go higher in November? Your post reeks of contradiction and is logically incompatible. (To dumb down the last sentence so you will understand it, basically it means it makes no sense.) No doubt about you being a manager with Mother, your pure ignorance is obvious and is rampant in this company! I may not be a manager, but I know I'm smarter than you! (Actually I could have been a manager but I put my family first and I didn't want to work for the nut-job DCO!) The thorn in your side, The 15x15 Guy
You and the rest of your 15 ilk would never be considered for an advanced position - you are all thiefs, lasy, self absorbed, unmotivated and a parasite upon the reps that do actually work and produce.
You STUPID ASS - a bird in hand is worth two in the bush - and don't worry, I still have thousands of shares to manage. You slugs have and will never get these options. One other thing for your consideration - the options were FREE!
Kinda sad when you think about it. Others are out there working hard and doing the best for the company while others work as little as possible and get the same rewards. Oh well, sucks to be the idiot doing all of the work. 15x15 for life!
Hey, I worked my ass off this week! Granted, I never even mentioned Merck's products, except for my sampling "calls" (Ha! Ha!). I'm anything but "lasy", Dips hit. And Merck motivated me to start my own business. Thank you, Merck!!! I'm working AND producing!!!
Bravo. You're my newest Merck hero. I'm looking into a side business of my own right now. Should have done it years ago. FU Merck.
