Vanda


You may be on to something. When did Milhalis hire a third kid? What is Medical Analytics? Is he doing our IC number crunching now too with Yanni?

What do you all think? Is this compensation “consistent with the compensation offered to other employees” who had no industry experience before working for the family business?

But, we are owned by the Polymeropolous family. Oh wait, we are a publicly traded company with a board of directors allowing this nepotism. while the ruler acts like Vanda is still his private empire. The Poly children should be looking for employment as the days are numbered before daddy hits the press for charging $165000 per year for melatonin.
 


And the poly kids get stock while the rest of employees are told " it is coming". Vanda is the company that Martin Shkreli, pharma bro, was looking to create. But he is prison bound. Will Mihales be his room mate?
 


but we don’t even know after almost 6 weeks into Q2 what we are being compensated?? Watch they will tell us it is still being worked on and we should have it in writing when Q2 is over just like the first Q. If you want hetlioz prescriptions than give us our full fanapt bonus and bring back Q4 hetlioz bonus. Otherwise keep waiting as only 3 people bring intakes in and the rest just laugh at them, because one day someone will investigate these red flag reps and Dr P will throw them under the bus. It won’t be him getting in trouble it will be the reps. Watch your backs.
 


Presidents club winners have gotten nothing for 2017. That is complete shit. It is April. Although some now have the "skills letter" because of Hetlioz. There is a special place in hell for heartless fucktards like Dr Poly, GP and Tom.
Winners circle finally acknowledged by Tom today but they are "still working on" what that means. Rewards for 2017 winners circle should have been known in March 2017 not May 2018. and yet senior leadership wonders why everyone hates working for Vanda. Rewards for 2018 winners circle should have been known 4months ago but yet will not be determined until next year........ Worst imitation of a real pharma company ever!!
 




Tom: why are you not meeting your goals for hetlioz or Fanapt?
Rep: I am working on it. Don’t know when it will change, but will work on it and let you know.
Haha we should start saying this to him.

Katerina was a Health Educator and the Marketing Coordinator and the company aka Big Daddy Poly actually says that the shares and RSU's are consistent with those offered to other employees. THIS IS A BOLD FACED LIE that is part of an SEC filing!!!! Reps and many other employees that are not family members were told this was coming and have since seen and heard and received ZERO. That is NOT consistent.

The measy raises and the bonuses that were cut retroactive to the quarter is the NORM. The Poly kids didn't get the same treatment at all. There is NO consistency, just blatant nepotism.





 


Got a strange phone call this afternoon from a “law firm” asking about my role at Vanda and asking if I’d be available for a few minutes to talk. I was driving so I used that as a reason to jump off call. Should I have just directed to home office?
Btw, just a coincidence or could it be tied in with the document hold notice we got this afternoon? Thoughts guy?

You all are missing the craziest part. If you look at older shareholder documents you will see that Christos’s salary was 145k in the end of 2014. Taken together with his increase in bonus percent he has had an increase/raise of OVER 50% in the less than 3.5 years he has been at Vanda.

Not to mention as you have pointed out that this is before considering all the stock the kids are getting compared to the rest of us.

Does anyone even know what he is doing? They say publicly that he is doing clinical/safety work but I get the impression he is mainly involved in commercial and driving some of these crazy ideas.

Wow...
 


this will make you all laugh... or cry... and should definitely be sent to CNN... or whatever law firms are contacting you:

https://www.hipaaspace.com/medical_...provider_identifier/codes/npi_1871937953.aspx

Looks like Christos was practicing medicine from an office located at 2200 Pennsylvania Ave, suite 300 E, in Washington DC. Now, doesn't that sound familiar? Oh, that's right, that is the Vanda headquarters!

The best part, though, is it lists a phone number. I was hoping it would be a corporate Vanda office number, but it looks like a cell phone number... you should all start calling Christos and ask him about his pay and all of the questions and comments you are discussing here. I sure he would love that! Send it to the reports, lawyers, let's all take a day off work and have a "call christos" day!

Enjoy!
 


Call CNN they would like to hear from you. Google "little red pill" That reporter will be up the Polly family's ass in no time.
CNN called the little red pill (Nuedexta) expensive at $12.60 per pill. What does that make Hetlioz at $479 per pill? Avanir is in very hot water for pushing use in patients without clinical data to support. Again, sounds like our being pushed to get Hetlioz used in sighted patients, without any clinical data to support the usage in sighed patients. It's only a matter of time before Hetlioz hits the news for improper promotion.

Dr: show me some data for Hetlioz use in patients other than blind patients
Rep: doctor, I'm sure that data is on it's way at the same speed as fanapt and new indications
Dr: get out
 


at what point are the field sales team going to get any IC plan for second quarter or data? We are making them money on a daily basis and they can’t get their shit together enough to give us data? What is going on up there in HQ? Anyone??

waiting to see how sales are going and then design a plan that pays as few people as possible - Dr Greek is greedy and cheap.

Christos sent out announcement about Hetlioz and Jet Lag. Who really cares.

Patient : Doctor, I will be going on a trip in August. Should I take Hetlioz?
Doctor: September of what year?
Patient: 2018
Doctor: Ha Ha Ha. If I prescribe Hetlioz, there is about a 20% chance that the hub will not screw up and actually follow through on what they need to do. Then there is twenty percent chance that you will get your first overpriced pill by August. And then a ten percent chance it will start working within 2 or 3 months.
Patient: Wow, that sounds like a complete waste of everyone's time.
Doctor: You have no idea.

So very true. Vanda took a broken system and thought that smashing it with a sledgehammer would make it work better. Triage rates plummeting thanks to poor leadership decisions.
