Thread regarding W.B. Mason layoffs

New Year - Any Answers?

Now that we have turned the corner on fiscal 2020, anyone hearing any rumors about the future of the company or what is going on? Thought we might get a heads up or some sort of recap for year end but haven’t heard anything. No thank you from Executive Management for keeping the company going through the pandemic and finishing the year strong?

While Chris and his crew of a–kissers ‘leadership’ has been lacking, the company took a turn for the worse when Leo bought the phone center in Fla and started to push veterans out the door. Customers who were use to seeing reps who would take care of issues now were calling Fla. He turned WB into the Staples that we kicked the sh– out of for the past 10 years

Folks , none of this is relevant . People that had previous 21GPS are not in the early teens. Even if accounts are moved what would it matter? Absolutely no one is making $ anymore .

Firsthand knowledge of several 100k accounts that are leaving /have left WB, due to lack of response from the Mgt . Awfully stupid decisions to lie to customers .

Yup. We aren’t taking reps back. Move on. I’ll be handling your accounts moving forward;)

Company’s days were numbered years ago when Leo made failed salesman, sales manager, branch manager Fredo Meehan COO... if it wasn’t for him hanging onto his brother’s coattails Chris would be at Shaw’s asking ‘paper or plastic’

If you’re furloughed and still waiting for a call back you need to move on. They don’t care about you and will never call you. If for some reason they do, you’re coming back doing 6 people’s jobs at half the salary you were making.

If you still work there read the post below.

If you got a new job already, like the hundreds of employees I have seen over the past month, congrats. You’re finally out!!!

It’s unreal. Not a single peep from upper management. Was Leo furloughed or something? Where has he been? Management heard from him for the first time a couple weeks ago. Great leadership he’s showing. More and more reps are quitting on a daily basis and they could care less. My guess is they want a couple sales reps per branch moving forward, after realizing how much money they’ve saved by furloughing so many reps. Either way, saying something is better than saying nothing. Especially in a pandemic like this.

I assume they are waiting until election time to make any decisions on anything. Huge changes could be coming if Joe gets elected. This will be bad for big business, small business, and everyone who works within any business.

All we got was a form letter from Roger saying “ you’re still furloughed And no idea of when you can come back “

Wonder what chris Meehan got ? Probably a bonus .
