Mr. Terry Adams (Shimadzu Regional Manager) prepared a scathing report which described endless problems in the Shimadzu organization. Mr. Adams doggedly attacked the sales, tech support, training and service departments in addition to launching a pre-emptive assault on upper-level management decision-making at Shimadzu Scientific. It's amazing that someone of Mr. Adams' rank could and would blatantly backstab so many within the Shimadzu family, but go figure.... he did! Mr. Adams' timeless and incredible observations are available for the world to see in several forums, including but not limited to:

We have included several ways of obtaining this explosive interoffice memorandum. The reason for doing this is Shimadzu has been out and about censuring any and all references to Mr. Adams' damaging report. Once you peruse Mr. Adams amazing remarks, you'll understand the embarrassment running wild in the Shimadzu organization since one of their very own employees has "spilled his guts!"

If you are unable to obtain a copy of this memo using any of the above forums, please email us at: shimadzu-sux@bigfoot.com and we will direct you to an alternate source(s) of this incredible eye-opening information. Good reading!
