"In fact, I will say this. I know who you are, I know who you work/worked for....Keep it up about KC or the facilites group and/or implications of a "kickback". Can you say black balled?"

KC who?

"Let's go and join our friends UK and KH in Walkersville, MD."

At Lonza I presume? That dump is even worse than Life.

Let's go and join our friends UK and KH in Walkersville, MD.

KC is an idiot with a HS education. He did the same to me many years ago when he first came to Life Tech. I hope they get rid of that incompetent manager wanna be. Kickback is a good word, ain't that right. John B.

"In fact, I will say this. I know who you are, I know who you work/worked for....Keep it up about KC or the facilites group and/or implications of a "kickback". Can you say black balled?"

Blackballed? The 1950's are calling, they want their word back.
Assuming you even know what the word implies, know that you are far too unimportant to squeak it out loud, let alone have any influence on who's hiring who.

On the other hand here's a word you need to know -blueballed.
Simply defined, it's what eventually happens to all low lifes who threaten reprisals on an open forum. Eventually a comment is made which identifies them and then...well, their genitals complain.

"I was let go so that they can bring another vendor in to do my job in calibration. Something smells here. Can you say kickback"

---------------------------

You were "let go" because you couldnt do your job. You had the calibration program in shambles, and RB from Anacor/Transcat was asked over and over to do something about...YOU!

The fact that you posted what you did make you a complete idiot because its so easy to figure out who you are.

To suggest a "kickback" means you really dont know KC.

In fact, I will say this. I know who you are, I know who you work/worked for....Keep it up about KC or the facilites group and/or implications of a "kickback". Can you say black balled?

Now Thermo has to figure out how to make the LMS software work. Life sure as hell couldn't.

Get ready for some chopping. This aquistion has to go almost perfect. for it to work. They never even go close to perfect and one this size will be a pain.

What Happens When a 'HiPPO' Runs Your Company?

Ron Johnson exited JC Penney humbled, with a list of accomplishments that he certainly didn’t intend to leave as his legacy:

• The company burned through nearly $1 billion in 17 months, taking its cash balance from $1.8 billion to $930 million

• Revenue fell by 25 percent in 2012 for a loss of nearly $1 billion

• The company’s market capitalization fell by nearly 50 percent on Johnson’s watch

How does a leader initially hailed as the second-coming of Steve Jobs, ready to reinvent a 111-year-old staid retailer, crash and burn in such dramatic fashion? If JC Penney’s board members had studied Amazon more closely, they might have discovered the answer. Leaderslike Johnson have a special name at Amazon: they’re called HiPPOs, which stands for “highest paid person’s opinion.” HiPPOs are leaders who are so self-assured that they need neither other’s ideas nor data to affirm the correctness of their instinctual beliefs. Relying on their experience and smarts, they are quick to shoot down contradictory positions and dismissive of underling’s input.

Greg scores big time with this acquisition! A $25,000,000 payout.
I for one wish to congratulate him on his good fortune.

Rates of what?

Come on now, I want to see the Frederick,MD site swept off the map and watch those ass kissers grovel on their way out the door.

Oyster point will be gone? Only Carlsbad will be kept?

That was a wonderful little town hall we just had, all faith is restored.

Close call. Good to hear everyone's job is safe.

That was a wonderful little town hall we just had, all faith is restored. No one except for Lucier will be losing their job. Syngeriese will come exclusively from better rates due to the "Merger"

Oh I am so happy I got rifted 3 years ago, and now have a much happier existence working for a company that gives a crap about people, and has a clear, singlular vision....I just feel bad for a lot of good people, who have given blood for this company, and will now be facing the axe....San Diego is a small fish when it comes to jobs, and I know it will be difficult when hundreds of people start flooding the market in about 3-12 months time.....GLT, you got what you wanted when you bought this 10 years ago....may you enjoy your money fights with all the others....knowing all along, that hundreds if not thousands of people paid blood for you....and were so miserable every day they came to work...i should know, I spoke to them every day for 5 years...now, I am away from the death star I can actually sleep at night

Are you psychic?

Interesting how the world works!! I cannot wait to see the hatchet list. I sure that someone will leak it out post close. They always do. Just call JB in operations ... She will tell you everything

OMG, this will be the biggest axe cut seen in decades. Paying that price and hoping for these returns... it's just going to be a disaster. All of sales, GONE.

"The bids came in at $66 to $69 a share, said two of the people, who asked not to be named as the process is private. Life could pick a buyer as soon as next week or decide against a sale, said one of the people.

Thermo Fisher can probably take out $300 million to $400 million in costs and the deal would be immediately accretive, and the company’s shareholders are supportive of a deal, one person said. Ross Muken, an analyst with ISI Group, said Thermo Fisher could pay up to $70 a share and still generate “double- digit” returns within five years.

“There is a large synergy opportunity here,” Muken said in a telephone interview from New York. “There are going to be cost synergies on the sales side and back office and some duplicative R&D and places you can find over investment in the Life business.”"

If $75 per share holds true to the recent reports...Wow... Where can I get some of what the folks at TMO are smoking? Is Life going to throw in a couple dozen bags of Doritos, too?

Thermo Fisher Scientific (TMO) is reportedly closing in on a deal to acquire genetic testing...

Analysts are expecting $400M in first year cost "synergies"

Where did you get the information?

a lot of directors and vp's just became rich.

The rest just became unemployed....

"WSJ reports Thermo is near finalizing the deal. You can warm up the wood chipper for Life. Analysts are expecting $400M in first year cost "synergies". Since people are really the only cost that can be reduced in such short order the implications are obvious."

I only wish I knew the exact time and place when the ax will fall at a certain Life campus, I'd love to be there to drop kick their worthless asses when they are headed out the door, pinkslips and box of personal shit in hand.LOL

"KC still there.? most incompetent "manager" with a personality of a brick. He excel at talking shit about other managers and get very little done. A typical manager at LIFE"

Do you mean MC? He's the one with the personality of week old dog shit.

"How about that idiot facilities manager in Frederick?"

ALL of the managers, especially in distribution are idiots, talk about your walking billboards for birth control.LOL

I was let go so that they can bring another vendor in to do my job in calibration. Something smells here. Can you say kickback.

How about that idiot facilities manager in Frederick?

Yep. I'M the one with vitrol. Not the other way around. That must be it

But is always done with the deepest respect for the employee who is the greatest asset of the company.

Oh, I got the perp walk and I am still friends with others that were laid off,all got severence packages

You got a severence package? Well no wonder your so happy, what did you have to pull off to get that. Most are let go at a moments notice and given the "perp walk" out the front door at layoff time.

I was laid off by Life last December. I am not bitter or twisted. I enjoyed the 8 years I worked there and miss it. I appreciate the severance package as well as the skills I learned while there. I am starting my own business not related to Life and was able to go back to college due to Life and what I gained while working there. I miss my co-workers but am sure I will see themwhen I am catering their next seminar

"Feeling a little insecure about your decision? It's okay. It probably was better for Life that a bitter asshat like yourself left.

It still amazes me that the disgruntled former/current employees cannot accept that some people might be happy and NOT an ass kisser. Can't wrap their twisted little bitter minds around it.

Enjoy your fun life, being that bitter can't be healthy. I'm sure you will disagree. You always do. Carry on."

Insecure? Not at all. But it sounds to me like your jealous because you're still stuck there. Nothing unhealthy about a little bitterness, but I bet all that ass kissing must be a bitch on your knees.

Yep. I'M the one with vitrol. Not the other way around. That must be it

It certainly is very scary that you are out there and with internet access and I assume are not locked up. Fortunately, I am not in the same country or even at lifetech. I just feel nervous for those closer by and your rampant instability.

Hey, welcome back. I have not seen your unmedicated vitriol for a while.

I have that pesky thing called dignity, I told Life Tech to go fuck themselves a few years ago and now work for a company where knee pads are not required. Real funny of you to justify ass kissing and knob polishing as OK in your book. I bet your easy to spot what with your stretch marks around your mouth and all.

is the deal done, you can hardly see any chance in stock price. Several parties present around the table, I cannot believe that. So it is sold to a strong partner to clean up the conglomerate. Watch out for your job
