Fire Koehler










You mean the Optimum won't keep them? Maybe the top brass should put themselves to their own rules for the program - 10% growth for them to get stock and options and if not they get zero. same rules for everyone.
 










All right, the BS has been spread at he NSM. Now it's time to can the morale killer.

if this happened then it would have shown the company cares about the sales force. They clearly don't. Fact is they wanted the comp plan decimated. They need to free up cash for the inevitable bad verdicts from the pending law suits. Carl got it done. Now reps make pharma-like salaries for a ridiculous work load. Sales salaries were/are viewed as charity. Management at Carl's level and above gets to keep the bloated compensation. It doesn't matter Carl has lost all the respect of the sales force. He keeps the fat salary, continues to kiss ass and is rewarded by being patted on the back by his cronies for a time...Anyone under him wants him gone but in a division that's teetering on being dissolved it just doesn't matter. The man's true colors have been exposed in all all of this. He will be blamed and made expendable when the division is killed then in some sense justice will be served.
 


They will get what they want very soon, after another awful comp plan no one can stand to survive another year here. Pretty sad what CK and RH have done to the sales force. Oh well, on to bigger and better opportunities.

That is the plan. Force everyone out so no Optimum or severance will have to be paid. I would love it if management had to have their comp slashed 60% too. Very much like the healthcare that will be forced on the public soon but Congress, the Senate and President will have their own separate plan. Pretty fair isn't it? Can't wait until Koehler gets his, payback is a bitch!
 


Carl has a horrible temper. He tries really hard to hide it. But if you watch him carefully and closely you can see his veins popping out and his blood boiling because he really wants to blow up and lose his temper. I once had a hotel room next to him and over heard him between the walls abusively belittling and screaming at his wife on the phone . As a professional he is a true narcissist. Customers at IDNs and GPOs cant stand him. He arrogantly pretends he has a skill set he does not have. Unfortunately the only ones fooled by his narcissistic skill set is upper management.

Don't forget about his vindictiveness too. He went after anyone who was onto him the last layoff round and then hid behind HR. The piece of shit needs to go.
 




They all need to go. We need new leadership from the top on down.

Obviously upper management wants to hide their lack of leadership. HR does not want it revealed that they stood behind a psychological nut case like Carl Koehler. So maybe it should be taken to another level.....write letters to the board and the individuals with the most shares in Bard stock. How much money has Bard wasted in retraining new hires? And how many times has a territory been turnover because folks like Carl Koehler and the manager did not provide good leadership to help fix the problems? Its waste like that that makes shareholders angry. Point out the waste of money that folks like Carl Koehler and his inability to lead through his lies have created. Also bring Cafe Pharma posts to the attention of the board and share holders.
 


These posts are very accurate. The guy is spineless. He will never make a decision on his own and stand behind it. He uses HR to carry out his plan. Guy is a complete waste of a salary and its shocking sharp guys like Weiland and Ring can't see this.

Unfortunately Bard upper management thinks they can cover all their poor leadership bloops up by continuously running people off or firing them with PIPs. But if a cost analysis were done investors would see how much money is being wasted in recruitment and training for the same territories turned over and same issues that they are not capable of fixing. So they fire people or run them off with PIPs to make it look like its the employees fault. Its a real dirty scape goat. Many in upper management would not be able to achieve 5% of the PIP goal required . If you are placed on a PIP they really just want you to quit and not fire you. Because if they have to fire you, you get unemployment. And you are an insured worker....which affects Bard. So if placed on a PIP....don't quit....make them fire you. Its to your advantage but not to Bards.

And don't ruin your reputation in the market by being to pushy with customers, trying to achieve your unachievable PIP goal bestowed upon you by Bard.

Its only a matter of time before potential investors seek out to review employee PIPs so they can see all the internal problems. It really is a map to the lack of leadership in the company and it also unveils financial issues that need to be investigated before an investor puts their money in that company.

Time will be the key factor. The company is waiting on verdicts. Once they come Koehler will be the "fall guy "when they kill the division. The absence of character by Carl has been displayed but the higher ups need a puppet to the end. He fits the bill to a tee. They don't care about the sales force, the morale of employees in the division especially because the future is tenuous. Its only about the numbers. Keep costs down by bleeding the reps for everything they can. The plan is to keep Carl out front to perpetuate the garbage comp plan, pretend to talk up the products that he couldn't sniff sellling in an OR, and disparage reps that are smart enough to leave to keep up the illusion of a future so the other lambs will march to the slaughter. Koehler will get his in time..........he has done too much to avoid the retribution.

Let's hope he gets his. He went after people during the"layoff" to cut the sales force down to half of what it once was, cowering behind HR.
