Only in your dreams.

I don't care what religion morons are they're still morons running the entire company.

Please cool it with the anti-semitic remarks. How the company is run or in the frugal way it is run, has no relevance to their religion.

Do I sense a tinge of anti-semitism all of a sudden?

In short, LSG is noly capable to barely hang there until being sold, or collapse after DS died.

"LSG managers are so narrow-minded that it will soon pass into oblivion.

LSG managers are micro-managers.

LSG managers have no vision.

NS sees no future for LSG.
BC is just there to collect his paycheck and leer at a few of the women, and I mean only a few because there are only a few worth a second glance.

SJ is in over his head. Product development divisions reporting to a manufacturing manager, huh?

SH, TT, BK, AT are all too busy trying to protect their turf rather than serve the customers well."

happy new year

What will happen after DS pass away?
According to Jewish law:
The eldest son, if firt born, is entitled to a share of the estate that is twice that of his brother. If there are four brothers, for example, the eldest would receive 40 per cent of the inheritance and the other three would get 20 per cent each

Apparently, other borthers will not be able to manage either CDG or LSG.
So NS will get twice portion as his brothers. Will they sell Bio-Rad then divide cash?

obsolete opinions and out of touch mgrs abound at all levels

Even if there were only 5 life science co's they still rank dead last, 5th place.

Are you saying Whatman is crappy?

OMG the LSG corporate overview says that Bio-Rad ranks in the top 5 life science companies worldwide. LOL. That hasn't been the case for years. LSG got left in the dust about ten years ago. I'd be surprised if they're in the top 20.

There are five life science suppliers left? I thought all the good companies were bought by Invitrogen and the crappy ones were bought out by GE.

BC has to find excuses to justify his top 1 or 2 income.

NS is getting rather impatient with LSG profit growth, or lack thereof. All the investments in the past few years have been to acquire diagnostics companies. LSG days are numbered unless they can pull off a great success in the next year or so.

"I is bright. Brighter than the rejects running, I mean ruining this place. BTW, I is the gardner. Doesn't I keep the grasses cut good on campus?"

Obvious Biorad employee...

"Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey, goodBye LSG"

You sound bright, maybe we should put you in charge.

I hear there is a new guy who replaced SJ and who is now running manufacturing. Is he going to be the hatchet man?

so what's new with Bio-rad LSG?

Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey, goodBye LSG

Is there still a marketing department left at the green LSG weenie?

"Manufacturing overhead is too heavy, that's a fact. I doubt upper management has a plan to solve it. Many of the people in manufacturing are lifers that have immunity because they know somebody in the Schwartz clan who can protect them. Especially since one of the Schwartz son's (SS) wife (AS) works in manufacturing."

Then low rank workers not in union might be the target?

"Manufacturing overhead is too heavy. They have to get rid off at least half of the managers".

Is this just your opinion or does higher management actually have a plan to RIF a bunch of lower-level managers?

The green weenie will suck the life out of you.

LSG is in terrible shape:
"The Life Science segment net sales for the second quarter were $150.7 million, up 0.6% compared to the same period last year. On a currency-neutral basis, Life Science segment sales decreased by 0.1% compared to the second quarter of 2009."

The decrease meant LSG still in recession mode. Will BC be forced to leave soon?

So true about the yes men. I have known of a couple there that couldnt say anything but yes. But its all good. As soon as the ass they kiss bids adieu, these yes men shuffle out quickly. Ive seen it time and time again. Like I said, just give em time (or rope) and they will take care of themselves :)

Hey happened in the SF area for LSG. I see a regional manager req. No more SR? If so, that's too bad; he was one of the good ones but then again, he wasnt a yes man now was he.

The grass is greener on the other side.

Oh my god, Crutchfield's compensation was close to a million bucks? Um, wow, is everyone at BioRad so well compensated? Not bad for a kid with a BS from Davis. They're not doing rocket science at Bio Rad; gels and resins big deal.

Why so much attention - BioRad is a second grade company run by dubious "leaders.

Idiot doesn't fall far from the tree at BR. Area idiots hiring regional idiots is one way to protect your job.

There are so many idiot managers at LSG

They are not idiots. They are cabinet member of a "regime" (similar to former Iraqi government).
Since their sole goal is their own survivor, they really don't care whether their decisions are stupid or not.

For example, RP at LSD is as smart as PhD. But he focus 99% on whether his team are all "yes" man. As a result, LSD R&D always fell behind in competitions.

In short, RP and other LSG managers are not idiots, they are evil instead.

There are so many idiot managers at LSG

My question is why are so many Bio-Rad execs (GS, NR, LP,etc) moving onto other companies yet still hob-nobbing with the existing top green weenies. Something's a brewin

One of these days, Bio-Rad will figure out how to reclaim market share in the gel electrophoresis market (or not). Invitro robbed them blind back when Bio-Rad was busy thinking their market share was safe.. ahh, gotta love idiots.

Tick tock . . tick tock

Irrelevant? Not so much. They are just complacent as hell. They had some innovative thinkers and scientists back in their hey day, but now idiots are trying to keep the ship afloat. Those very same idiots have a profound ability to chase rising stars away. Just give em enough rope and they will take care of themselves

Take LSD for example, they have "scientist" with such names"

BS (bullshit??)
LL (liar liar??)
RP (repeat repeat??)

What "new" products does LSG have in development? Anything?

LSG = lie sex and gossip. For sex part, except NS's old story, and SC at SELDI unit; any new story?
Sex, are you kidding. There are no hot women in LSG. You did forget the ED/JB story from years ago.

One more: Richmond plant manager HG

BRad is a joke. A fourth rate company at best. Be glad you do not work here.

Beat the life out of Life? Man boobs can't you come up with something better than that.
Man boobs=BC? If not, he could certainly qualify for larda$$, as wide as it is.

who is man boobs?
AG?

LSG=Losers Should Give-up

LSG=Least Successful Group
