Hearing strong chatter about WB buying naps in west haven.

For so long this was the rumor. Meanwhile, nothing.

i see there’s another trade show in philly —/ do people actually still go to these ?

So much for all the BS rumors about selling.

So they're trying to push out the "older" sales reps. How is this allowed?

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.

Anyone know why?

Has the Quality of Employees gone up, down or not changed?

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 

Im considering a job in the business development roll.

Any Bonus?

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

Sales reps, category managers, and at least one branch manager. Private Equity noise getting louder. The Mole

Brutal timing but this is a yearly occurrence at this point

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 

This is crazy. Last thread was deleted. Not sure why. there wasn't anything in it that was bad.

Were the vibes as bad as last year?

if they were good, there would have been posts all over. i’m guessing 1.6

less than 2 billion for the multiple year in a row?? don’t be scared !

Legacy Sales Reps

In a shock announcement, Essendant has said it is pulling out of the independent office products dealer channel.

please.

Anyone know how Amazon business is effecting WB B2b sales ?

Going in for an interview for Sales. What should I ask?

Gee I wonder why. It’s almost like they are cutting costs for the inevitable sale to PE

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 

get your popcorn ready , if this is still happening !

The people at this company are the absolute worst. Imagine treating Stonehill like it’s Harvard!

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 

ITS COMING!!!!!!!!

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?

Where do you think the company will be in 5 or 10 years?

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 

stop deleting !!! the news is reporting the fire of $1 million in damage, not us .

There are layoffs coming no question. They just announced last week they’re not even matching 401ks this year.

Wonder why? Layoffs are ahead for sure. They recently announced a cut in something that was almost irrelevent. Why ?

is there really no news? meehan hasn’t yelled at anyone?? no layoffs , at all? seems odd .

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 ?
