Anne Sigouin (GM ArjoHuntleigh) willingness to hurt the business

yeah, what’s the link?

 

We never got an answer, what does Ian Larson , former Sigouin’s boss at J&J, and Patrick Mongeau, her former employee, have in common?

 

She’s over both?

 

Sigouin reported to Larson, she was under him. Mongeau worked for Sigouin, she was over him.

 

They both have poor taste.

 

They both tasted something bad.

 

Someone bad

 

Almost every morning Ann goes to her office ignoring everyone.

 

She will fire you if you stand in her way.

 

Sigouin manipulates comp plan so she can save $ on senior reps. Than she uses that money to package them.

 

Sigouin has no strategic vision. She spends her time micromanaging and blaming people.

 

Competition should thank Arjo for hiring Sigouin. Her total lack of customer focus help them gain market share.

 

A former Arjo employee, now working for competition, said the same. They wish Sigouin stays at Arjo forever. Sad when you think about it.

 

So tell us, after all this time, still a darling to you?

 

It goes down to leadership and Sigouin has none.

 

Sigouin implemented a policy related to rep performance. If you don’t achieve your quota 2 years in a row you’ll end up in probation. It is not applied consistently as only those she hates get this treatment. Any words of this policy in respect to current COVID-19 situation?

 

Are you next in line?

 

Easy to find out. If Sigouin wants to get rid of you she will manipulate your quota. If you get a higher % increase than your colleagues, it means she’s after you. If your quota is fair than maybe she takes the right decision.

 

Since she joined Arjo, Sigouin implemented a new budgeting strategy. In order to save $ ( bonuses), she add a layer over real budget. Whatever target she gets from Sweden, she adds a given % ( typically 5 to 10%). Doing so she saves $ while still looking good. It explains why so few reps achieve targets. Good evil job Anne.
