Well lets get it going again.
What is one to do with incompetent managers?

This thread is dead. Please remove this.

..... and a term that only an american male of a similar description would use. Whoever you are, please take your problems to another site that can better help you. This is a biotech forum.
Thanks and good luck!

Douchebag ;

The term "douchebag" generally refers to a male with a certain combination of obnoxious characteristics related to attitude, social ineptitude, public behavior, or outward presentation.

Though the common douchebag thinks he is accepted by the people around him, most of his peers dislike him. He has an inflated sense of self-worth, compounded by a lack of social grace and self-awareness. He behaves inappropriately in public, yet is completely ignorant to how pathetic he appears to others.

He often talks about how cool, successful, and popular he is, yet never catches on to the fact that he comes across as a total loser. Nevertheless, he firmly believes that he is the smartest, most desirable, and most charming person in the room... and will try to bad-rep anyone who would threaten to expose this facade.

He fancies himself a ladies’ man, yet tends to be a joke to all but the most naive of women. He tries to portray himself as part of the in-crowd (a fashionista, an upwardly mobile professional, the life of the party, etc.) but only succeeds in his own mind.

To everyone else, he is an annoying and arrogant phony who comes across as a wannabe overcompensating for his insecurities. He tries to appear like the center of whatever group will tolerate him, but in reality, he is just a tag-along who mooches drinks, women, contacts, social standing, and other benefits from the group... while contributing nothing.

KL is hot!

I am so proud of everyone for sticking around during the tough times. Your reward is in heaven.

Is LK still around?

So, how is Leica integration going and who is leading the sales group?

Who are the hottest women left at Aperio?
Initials only Please

RJ, she is just awesome, especially when she is trying not to be.

More layoffs this week but let's cheer ouselves up!
Who are the hottest women left at Aperio?
Initials only Please!

The interview is going well. I really think I'm going to like it at Aperio. this

On 10/10/2012, clearance from the US Federal Trade Commission has been received, allowing the acquisition of Aperio by Danaher to proceed.

Do any current or Former Aperions have any more details on the buy-out??

I am an ex employee looking for answers. I am an idiot for buying my options,,,

Any more info on this deal..

price won't be disclosed. execs on both sides eagerly ramping up as this swings many doors wide open.

http://www.heraldonline.com/2012/08/21/4204566/leica-biosystems-to-acqui...

Probably the wrong Aperio.

Amcor - an Australian packaging company, today completed the purchase of Aperio, an Australian flexibles company for A$238M.

Anyone know the price paid?

How announced. On Biofind? ah ha ha.

It's true--announced today.

That rumor resurfaces every 6 months. Don't believe it. Besides, the senior management at Aperio is their downfall.

Aperio has been bought by Leica.

Women are incredibly HOT. Males are incrediably incompetent!!

That is Aperio!!

The interview is going well. I really think I'm going to like it at Aperio. I met a lot of really great people.

If you love Aperio so much, then why don't you marry it?

CEO DS. Apparently he can buy almost anything on this planet.

So, who will be the buyer for Definiens?

Why are you yelling?

What part of
"I haven't found any proof in public records that Aperio has filed for Chapter 11, 12, 13, 14 or whatever... It's not true."

Did you not understand?

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

WHAT WE UNDERSTAND IS THAT YOUR ARE COMPLETELY INCOMPETENT AT RESEARCHING PUBLIC RECORDS.

Is Aperio next?

Redhead

What part of
"I haven't found any proof in public records that Aperio has filed for Chapter 11, 12, 13, 14 or whatever... It's not true."

Did you not understand?

Is Aperio really filing for bankruptcy? Is that true?
How are they managing day-to-day affairs?

Did JW not marry one of the hotties in marketing. Did she leave too?

They got married, had a kid or two and she quit.

Did JW not marry one of the hotties in marketing. Did she leave too?

I haven't found any proof in public records that Aperio has filed for Chapter 11, 12, 13, 14 or whatever... It's not true.

So what's your point? Making more money doesn't mean you're benefitting the company any more or less.

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

REALLY?

Many people in pathology labs are saying that Aperio filed for Chapter 13 bankruptcy protection. Any truth to this rumor?

I meant turning on each other in this thread. There is a lot of anger in some of these posts...on both sides. The loyalists see the critics as traitors and the critics see the loyalists as suck-ups. The objective truth cannot be found at either extreme.

No one is turning on anyone. Great opportunities come your way and you take them. Plain and simple.

Crashed company, a leadership vaccuum, and the crew turning on each other. This thread proves that Aperio has become Lord of the Flies.

"JW has resigned"

JW got an opportunity he could not pass up. I would think he has outgrown his position here anyways.

"Wow, now we're back in 6th grade"

Ya, but he started it!!! :-)

JW has resigned

Wow, now we're back in 6th grade.

"Look in the mirror, douchebag. I make more money for this craphole in a day than you do in a month."

So what's your point? Making more money doesn't mean you're benefitting the company any more or less.

Anyways, I'm getting bored of these back and forths. How about next time I am out there, we just meet in the parking lot and play Thunderdome - two men enter, one man leave...pussy!

How did your interview go?
Did you get the job?

"Hey, I'm not saying its my dream job either...but rather than sitting there taking up space, why don't you do something good for the company which it sounds like you aren't."

Look in the mirror, douchebag. I make more money for this craphole in a day than you do in a month.

Hey, I'm not saying its my dream job either...but rather than sitting there taking up space, why don't you do something good for the company which it sounds like you aren't.

It's a crapshack with a paycheck, until it is flushed completely down the drain.
You need to accept that not every job you may get will be your "dream-job".
This place is as uncreative and vapid is it gets; the average co-worker is dumb as a post and as unmotivated as a government employee.
It's a paycheck for dullards.
What more can you expect in today's economy?

If you need a dream job, go work for Euro-Disney.
