Months 10-12: "FUTURE PIPELINE" Buy Dog Drug and put lipstick on it
Months 13-15: "SHORT TERM SET BACK" Examine and slash budgets
Months 16-18: "TOUGH TIMES" Layoff random personnel slashing headcount by 20%
Months 19-21: "I WASN'T LOOKING" Find another company with cash and allow them to feel good about the enormously discounted company they can buy
Months 22-24: "I'M HERE TO STAY" Look for the next company to screw while taking more profits than the top 100 other people combined in the entire company

He'll put friends on the board, they'll continuously raise their options and salaries beyond even what greedy boards feel comfortable with, he'll be shopping the company from day 1 on.

Don't trust him one bit. BUT, Sepracor was left in decent hands and likely the best situation it could be despite the fact that he raped and pillaged the entire company


SO we are now at the MONTHS 10-13...SHORT TERM SET BACK phase by this timeline, right?
Not quite. AA was appointed CEO on December 8th, 2011, which puts us right about 9.5 months in. If you listened to his latest speeches to both the sales force & home office, you'd see that we're transitioning from the TRUST ME to FUTURE PIPELINE phases just as the original poster predicts. The SHORT TERM SET BACK(S) will occur in Q1 of 2013 after Xiaflex doesn't come close to hitting the $65M forecast and the GSK deal doesn't generate anywhere near the expected impact. The people that will be let go are likely already receiving signals that they're not performing. So, unless you've been here a while and have options remaining in the mid to low teens, or if you're one of AA's chosen ones, I'd seriously consider your options at this point. It is what it is, although it's truly fascinating just how scripted and transparent the whole charade is. Best of luck to you all.


Mar 24 13..We are lagging in timeline. Best guess, Tough times. Board meeting on May 1st so stay tuned....

AA has been a huge disaapointment. The biggest move he has made is to move offices. What was the Board thinking? They need to replace the Chariman ASAP. Bad oversight for the last 10 years.
 
No way I am in a much better position, I just get to sit back and laugh at all you fools in the field and managers trying to manage a bad product.
Losing that much business would discourage me, I would have quit after my first call. You have the most in un rewarding sales job in the industry.
 
Two bad CEO's in a row. One screws it up with his massive ego. The second screwing it up by doing nothing at all. You'd vomit if you knew how much these guys raped the company for. Well done, Board of Directors. Well done.
 
Sunovion just let go of the team selling their sleep drug 12 months before going generic. What is the timing of a generic Androgel? I believe January 2015. That means we have less then 9 months.
 
Do you people just sit around and wait for bad things to happen?
I agree, a paid severance would be nice and management is horrible but this company will just continue the downward spiral for years. It is up to you to get out, but like the saying goes misery loves company and you are all doing a pretty good job being miserable.

A little later than months 12-14, but most certainly dog crap company and products acquired. Will really need to be loads of lipstick on these pigs
 
Auxilium - a company lead by dicks, with products for dicks!

AA still on playbook. He amped it up by buying a company with a whole series of shitty products, instead of just buying a single shitty product.

Still looks like a last-ditch effort to save face. Smacks of a distraction to move attention away from terrible Q2 performance. Pre-market trades indicate that the Street is not impressed.

It is really scary to see how he follows exactly the same play book. When this post was orginally put up I had my doubts, but now it is like having the ability to see what is going to happen in the next 3 to 6 months, Not much longer before this pig gets sold. What a joke Adrian and his crew are. Hahahahahahahahahahahahah>
 
Not so fast! He still has to execute budget cuts and layoffs first before he sells this pig and walks away with his personal fortune. The premise is already set: the acquisition contains about $20MM in "synergies" aka budget cuts and layoffs. You can bet it will far more than that amount. We should all be looking for another job NOW!

The Town Hall conference call was an absolute joke. The suck ups offering congrats on the milestone day was actually sickening. It was a record day, indeed the worst performing quarter in the history of the company and a downward revision (again) in the revenue forecast. The acquisition announcement tied in with earnings was simply a strategy to distract from what should have been the focus of the day. This management team has no idea how what they are doing. They have never been able to deliver a number. It will be interesting to see how the synergies will result in massive cuts to the sales force. Can't wait until 2nd quarter earnings so we can hear the same old song and dance. This BOD should have the stones to get rid of AA and his entire management team now before this dog stock is trading at less than 10 bucks a share
 
You hope when a new CEO comes in that he make an impact. WOW, what an impact this shitbag has made. 12 months ago he had a chance to be bold and chart a new direction and he chose to do nothing and become a victim of his circumstances not a master of them. His behavior and impact show him to be a poor CEO. How long will he last after this desperation move?

Testopel has reimbursement and manufacturing issues. The pump is a decent product but has very little upside. Testim will be in a generic market by 2015 and promotion should cease in 2014. Xiaflex is going to flatten because the Company has not found a way to activate "watchful waiting" patients which is a majority of the market. Peyronies will not be reimbursed and will be used only by wealthy cash paying customer.

Adrian and the Board of Directors have failed.
