This is the start of the merger! Merger has been approved (yay - let extra overtime begin! People who are already overworked will be fired). However, this epic merger will not go the way the comfy STL execs at Express Scripts thinks it will go. VPs and senior directors in STL will be replaced by deals to the Medco New Jersey folks (it will be very pervasive in tactic). If I were the execs at ESI, I would be nervous and take other offers now (abandon ship!) Why is New Jersey better than Missouri? Well, it has a better offshore infrastructure and cost effective, which is where ESI wants to be (redundancy will be eliminated to their advantage all with tax breaks). Also, they will finally close out the BLM office and this person Bill Kiefer was from that area originally (most likely it was his fate all along). So farewell BLM (the old ValueRX) & STL execs and hello New Jersey. Its too bad that all major successful corporations start in STL but leave to the coasts. But it was an awesome merger! (money made big!).
