I’ve spent way more time than necessary reading all these posts about the new misery that is Altera. Post after post of complaints. If you dont like it. Leave. Many stay in unhealthy relationships because they feel no self worth. too lazy to look for something else. “It works for me”. Blah blah If you are not actively looking for another opportunity then you deserve the misery that is Altera. You like the torture. When you all leave then things will change. Don’t worry about clients and “ projects in flight”. They and patients will be just fine. Trust me when I tell you that clients already have an Altera exit strategy and it doesn’t include you so stop making them the reason you stay. Those are just excuses . Excuses are just that. Excuses. People are hiring! Stop being lazy. Stop complaining. Look for the next opportunity rather than continuously whining about this one. Peace Out

I left over a year ago before the sale to Harris. Maybe there are those that want a front seat to the circus and that’s their choice. I personally decided this was not a constructive environment for the future of me or my family. I took the leap and haven’t looked back except for today. I am happy and have received more training in one year than I had at Allscripts in 16. I wish everyone the best no matter their decision.
Is it though?
Well it's lining up ZERO/0 would be acceptable at this point.
Well what would be an appropriate profitability level? Thats probably the question right.
PE ratios for either of the "twins" is 50 & 46. Both suck. Anything over 25/30 is bad/horrible investment how long does Harris need to hangin there until they make a profit?
That's fair feedback on the stock price. You could look at growth or earnings, and you'd probably see similar success, though.
To the commenter quoting stock performance. Stock price is dictated by hype and mirrors. Using stock performance to gauge how structurally sound a company is, is no different then betting on a team who's mascot or emblem can devour it's opponent. Just another tarred feather on this bird.
What have these strategic geniuses done to make things better? We've all heard about crushing new methodologies and blaming the workers, but that's been the desperation play since Eclipsys. Tell me something new that is actually working.
And Good Will and The Salvation grow but selling garbage…
Nice company to keep.
How much extra is MP paying to to troll this board ?
At yet they consistatly grow, and make money? That's called a strategy. It's how math works.
" A Strategic Acquirer" -
Are you on crack ?
They are the equivalent of someone going to the GoodWill or Salvation Army stores and buying cr-p that no one else wants.
Everyone company they own is like whales__t at the bottom of the ocean.
Old garbage that no one buys anymore.
It is obvious that MP has his trolls out here trying to defend them.
"we screwed up by being lazy in our due diligence" ???
Do you really believe that a strategic acquirer whose stock price has appreciated 11,700% since 2006 with a CAGR of more than 30% over the past 16 years tends to be lazy in due diligence?
Or perhaps might you be part of the plan?
These folks brought the vitriol on themselves. Would be a different vibe if MP said "we screwed up by being lazy in our due diligence. That is on us. We will work tirelessly to understand and appreciate what we have and work together to move forward."
Instead he used the rank-and-file as a urinal. He deserves what he's getting. As did those that destroyed Allscripts.
The Truth will set you free!
Whining is tolerable. Wish the hate and personal attacks would go elsewhere. This sub is as toxic as twitter.
@kth+1kSe1fn4 - You are dead-on correct.
You get paid to watch a constantly changing orchestra constantly re-arranging the deck chairs on this Titanic, directed by Groucho Marx.
While there's a certain amount of psychic distress often caused by the cognitive dissonance of using logical thought to comprehend the latest personnel moves and grand strategies, there are plenty of darkly comedic and amusingly incompetent moments throughout the week to not only provide endless chuckles but epic storytelling for years to come. Get your work done and then sit back and wait for the inevitable red tape, changes to literally everything, slowdowns, bickering, spending time and money trying to squeeze additional pennies out of anything anyone can think of. No need to stress hard, but no need to ki-l yourself either - take it one day at a time. :)
Hey Get Off the Pot -
If you hate reading all the posts, then why come to the website and read them ?
Either you are MP of one of his flunkies that he had told to look at all the Altera bashing and misery.
Is that you MP?
Ha Touché!
You miss the point: People stay because it beats working. It's strangely satisfying to watch the repeated pratfalls, and that is why we comment.
