Miss Creehan, The first domino will fall soon and key positions will find their new employer. But who? Who will go?? A couple big customers dropping you will follow shortly after. It’s coming.

Nothing ever changes or improves

I can't be the only one who feels this way. Things su-k and they've been like that for a long while. We have a distinct lack of good leadership, a toxic culture that is destroying employees' mental health, rampant cronyism, and rude managers who love... — read more 

Exit interview

Now, that, every penny owed to me has been paid out, it is time to post my thoughts on WB Mason, and especially the “leadership“ team, running it. I note the word leadership in quotation marks, as it must be used extremely loosely when referring to... — read more 

I LOVE WB

Best company ever to work for. For so many reasons.

SALES REPS BEWARE!!!

So.... doesnt look like they are going to hire any more reps. Good for them. They're expensive and dont work. If I was a sales rep I would start looking for another job. It's only a matter of time. Or you can become that other position.

The Office Supply Industry

I would confidently say that this industry WILL NOT BE GETTING better. It can only go down. Hence the reason that they're trying to sell ANYTHING. Boxes is the latest.

Thankful

Like many others on this sub. Today I’m thankful that management/ownership thought I wasn’t essential enough to the business during covid and furloughed me. Without that, I’d probably still be there, miserable, getting lied too, getting commissions... — read more

Changes you'd like to see here?

They don't care that we don't have enough people

We are lacking people and the ones we do have are overworked and exhausted. Of course, eventually they decide to leave, which further complicates the problem. However, our superiors don't care about that. Isn't that a clear sign that they don't... — read more

Do not make haste decisions

Nothing we've seen from headquarters leads us to believe we're in a good spot right now. There's no need to lie about this online. Just because the company is in a bad spot doesn't mean it's a knock on us. OP @fjvl+1lpgAczj Always keep this... — read more
