For so long this was the rumor. Meanwhile, nothing.
ball park show
i see there’s another trade show in philly —/ do people actually still go to these ?
SO MUCH FOR THE RUMORS!
So much for all the BS rumors about selling.
Age Discrimination
So they're trying to push out the "older" sales reps. How is this allowed?
Branch Managers are Absolutely Useless!!
I often wonder what a Branch Manager does as part of their daily routine and I’ve finally figured it out. Sit in a chair all day and pretend to work. As an MDS Rep they are absolutely useless to me.
Doing Nothing to make things Better. Why ?
Anyone know why?
Quality
Has the Quality of Employees gone up, down or not changed?
Unions????
With poor middle management from the branch levels and issues not making it to the top people are fed up. Union talks in play. Drivers not able to take time off, routes sitting, customers not getting deliveries and no help. Warehouse runs way too... — read more

I never realized how evil this company was but I just spent all morning reading this board and it all makes sense

Brutal timing but this is a yearly occurrence at this point
The Mole is back
Less than a month from Fox woods and the company is crumbling! Mole says massive layoffs coming or happening. Silver spoon can’t save the company and may be asked to leave. All less than a month from the Mee hans saying how much BETTTTAAAHHHH they... — read more

Amazon Business
Anyone know how Amazon business is effecting WB B2b sales ?
Questions to Ask on Interview
Going in for an interview for Sales. What should I ask?
WB Mason removes all job listings from Careers website
Gee I wonder why. It’s almost like they are cutting costs for the inevitable sale to PE
The Mole comes though, again.
The Mole is reporting a sale is happening. Terms are still being finalized with a PE company, but Leo is selling. Many factors are contributing including personal and business. As with most of these deals, things are being kept extremely quiet but... — read more
new mole update 6pm?

Just got laid off
The people at this company are the absolute worst. Imagine treating Stonehill like it’s Harvard!
Was the trade show the last hurrah?
The vibe was awful and to me and others (employees and customer) it just seemed like it was one last chance for the overly-imbibed stonehillers to party on the company dime and for the -eehans to prove to whatever private equity company is giving... — read more
GET READY FOR RTO
ITS COMING!!!!!!!!
*Taps playing*
Theyll tell you everything is ok and they aren’t laying folks off. Ask yourself this, have you been lied to by your boss before at WB Mason?
Thinking about working At WB
Where do you think the company will be in 5 or 10 years?
Leadership is Key
You want to know how the company is doing? Look at who's leading the company. If that person has a reputation of being a dictator then think about it. If that person is angry... then how will he lead. If that person is insecure.... how will they... — read more
fire??????
stop deleting !!! the news is reporting the fire of $1 million in damage, not us .
Layoffs
There are layoffs coming no question. They just announced last week they’re not even matching 401ks this year.
This Board is as Quietest as it's ever Been
Wonder why? Layoffs are ahead for sure. They recently announced a cut in something that was almost irrelevent. Why ?
unusually quiet
is there really no news? meehan hasn’t yelled at anyone?? no layoffs , at all? seems odd .
any recent updates?
i did see that the evil ones acquired a dealership in the maryland area. was that by choice, or did that dealer finally get tired of the BS in the OP business ?
