Thread regarding W.B. Mason layoffs

Laughable

As someone who was promoted to customer during covid and actually went to the trade show today……it’s laughable. I can’t believe they are still in business.

Do they even have any customers left??? Hahahahhahaha. It’s amazing

Honestly, their biggest issue was that they NEVER focused on the real problems. It was so simple yet they couldn’t even do it. All they did was sweep problems under the rug and micromanaged everyone on stupid issues that don’t even matter. Rather than fix the problems, they just took shortcuts, stole form their employees, and selling counterfeit products. They get what they deserve and I don’t feel sorry for them

2-4 years.
That's a long time.
If they continue to get their butts kicked without investing in talent it's all going to go away.

i think i saw the same video snippet.

  1. not sure what time stamp was on it, but there was not a large gathering. i recall those early stadium shows would be mobbed, especially in the morning .
  1. looked more like trick or treat from the old folks home, grabbing samples by the handful and shoving them into a bag .

fairly soon, mason will put out the financials . i’ll bet a horse they still have not hit that 2 B mark . i was there at foxwoods back in 2018(?), when leo was red as a cherry , because mason failed to hit it then .

so let’s be realistic: mason has a decent customer base, but has lost significant business to amazon etc. .

How you can continue to spin the facts is beyond belief—- your company settled 5.6 million for not paying its own people .. Jeez man, wake up!!

Oh wow, NJ Nick saw a video clip (following a company he hates on social media like a jealous ex). We all know that attendance is split into two parts of the day though right? The goal of event management is to spread attendance across the time of event right. My lord you all are sad.

Amazon has taken a LOT of your customer base.

And before you go to your tired tropes, no I don’t work there any more. No I didn’t go to Stonehill. Yes, I still have friends that work there. Yes, I laugh with them when they send me these snippets of you all acting like a middle aged, pi---d off Karen neighborhood Facebook group.

If that’s what’s you have to tell yourself to feel good, things that are objectively not true, ai feel even worse for you. Honestly, I feel bad for you to be this upset and unable to move on and live a happy life, that you are obsessing over a customer show and making up falsehoods about it. 2019 was the highest attendance number at that show ever and this came in as the 2nd highest. Move on, live a happy life, you deserve it. The best revenge is living well, get some help, live well and just leave them in the rear view. Damn this is just so sad.

there’s noooooo way 1000 customers showed up. even in the heydays of old, attendance was waning.

oh, perhaps you went to the “ harvard of the brockton area” for college , maybe even that business college, named after someone who stole from his own employees.

i live near a branch. the amount of trucks i see on the road is half of what it was a few years ago. take an objective look. your company STOLE money from employees. google
“ better business bureau and wb mason”. it’s complaint after complaint, about overcharging, not issuing credits — yeah, the same old stuff

This is the saddest sh-t I’ve ever seen. WB living rent free in your heads that you’re just lying about a thousand plus people being somewhere. You have to know how thirsty and pathetic this looks right?

It used to be packed. They would say 2,000 people came and it was probably more like 1600.

There was probably 300 people that showed up total. Mason isn’t what it once was. It’s funny to watch
