Thread regarding Follett layoffs

Wrong bluebook sent out after eliminating previous director of this area?

Whats up with the bluebook that was sent out with incorrect prices and editions and then had to be recalled? Was that a new leadership move (after getting rid of the old leadership and criticizing the bluebook in public?). Smooth move.

to: Anonymous11195 I wrote that I'm a "former Buyer" but I didn't mean for follett. I meant I used to indep buy and use Follett as one of my buyers so I have I ZERO inside knowledge on this. But, since I'm an asshole, I like to give my opinions AND speculate. So, my guess is that it is ONE BIG FUP like they don't even know it's BOOKS they're fin buying and I think things will get back to normal soon once they figger out WTF they're doing since they fin DON'T HAVE any of the intel they used to have.

GT? No, no, not him. Maybe there is more than one now. Maybe it’s a requirement for the new MLS management team. Fear and intimidation! We never fail! It’s your fault we don’t know what the heck we’re doing! We geniuses! You own our stupid ideas based on our wishful thinking!

If you work in the HO consider yourself very, very lucky you don’t know! Any competent psychiatrist would judge him non compos mentis. A bully who uses his position to intimidate his subordinates and who never takes responsibility for his actions. He is truly a legend in his own mind! The older family members (who cared about the family’s reputation) would lose their minds if they knew how he treats associates.

Where did the wholesale prices go? It's hard to buy used books with no wholesale prices.

Mary Lee’ed all the people that understood the Blue Book process and the Kfart’s are confused about what an economic hit Follett will take on this cluster f*. Senior management is looking for someone to blame (point the finger at yourself Mr. you own it!) and MLS is still focused on the value of Follett stock. Are you happy now Follett family?

Is this Jerry Lynch or Mike Tolley's area? Well, now Joe Miller is gone so I'm sure they will blame him.

Wonder how the book buybacks went? If they mess up the bluebook at peak buyback, ouch!

So who owns it now? Gutless senior management will never take responsibility for their stupid decisions. Crash and burn.97
