What can they do to make this place better?

What is even better is I am collecting a paycheck for doing absolutely nothing. I act like I am the perfect rep in front of the manager (we call him Barney Fyffe) and he has not a clue. Our motto for him is “Starbuck’s gain is MDL’S loss!”.

I've heard nothing, but negative things about the managers at mdl. However, this VT takes the cake. Why is she even employed? Seems like a nightmare for the past 10 - 12 years there. Why doesn't EM do anything? How much is mdl doing a year now? I know it's shrinking. maybe $50m? $30m?
 




Much less than that. Keeping it private to show how pitiful this place really is. I tried to pay for a lunch last week with an MDL credit card and it was declined! Quest rep was doing the same thing and she overheard the restaurant manager berating me since this was the 3rd time it happened! Pretty pathetic when a restaurant asks that you go somewhere else to pick up lunches! MDL!- moronic dysfunctional laboratory

yep......but by golly, EM still gets his money and purchases apartment complexes and bars. maybe that's one of the reasons mdl cc gets declined. and paying vt's salary, commission, bonus, expenses, etc.....
 








No, please keep this bunch around! Nobody would believe this bunch of clowns truly exist. What a pathetic company. Managers pretending to be leaders that would not have a clue out in the real medical world. Almost as good as a dog with a note! Almost!
 




I have been with MDL almost 15 months and I am embarrassed to be associated with this company. I have been looking at other labs but nobody will give me the time of day because of MDL!
 








OK, enough is enough! Does ANYBODY with this company have one iota of a clue what is going on here. My company business credit card was rejected again. I refuse to front this bunch on my own card! I am getting calls about lunches that the previous rep had that I know nothing about. The company didn’t even have the courtesy to cancel them. Do they actually think we are gonna get the business now???

If you are a new rep your credit limit is very low yet they expect you to book 3 lunches per week.

We're the laughing stock of the entire industry!!! I hate my decision to come here!! I hate even more VT!!! She has the anti-Midas touch. Everything she touches turns to s@#$. Businesses, relationships, accounts, etc.....On top of it all....EM seems to not care one bit. He's already millionaire. Eventually mdl will close shop. EM will write off most of it. VT has stashed enough money to retire. The rest of us?? Because we worked here.....it'll be difficult to find something else....if you have mdl on your resume. Do you think vt or em ever reads these posts? What about the other managers?
 








lf you can’t run with the big dogs, you need to stay under the porch! Half a$$ strategy doesn’t work in this industry!

Not sure how you meant that, but............I'm booking like crazy many lunches. Next month. The month after..etc. I'm quitting soon. I also gave them vt cell if they have any questions. Huck Fer !!!!

If you're implying what I think you are then what do you suggest? Company card busts. Use my personal card? Not a chance. May I use your personal card? Continue booking lunches? Sure. What's your cell so I can have them call you when nobody shows up. Idiotic. If you're a manager............you're one of the reasons why the company is a shit-hole. You talk like an imbecile, fool, idiot, cretin, moron, dolt, halfwit, ass, dunce, dullard, simpleton, nincompoop, blockhead, ignoramus, clod, etc...Half ass strategy?? LOL!!
 
















have them call me. I will be glad to have a intelligent conversation about MDL! My card will still be rejected and I still won’t use my for this loser organization!

intelligent conversation about MDL? that's called an oxymoron. sheeeesh. no wonder you were hired. everyone go book as many lunches as possible for next month and beyond. wait for those offices to begin calling vt's and em's cell.
 




Another lunch where my card was rejected was last week. Enough is enough! Walked out of the restaurant, got in my car, and went straight home. No more contact with that prospect, courtesy of MDL!

so what's been the reason or response when you tell management your company card keeps getting rejected? just start booking as many lunches as possible. 3 maybe 4 per week. let's see what VT does to handle the situation.
