Gossip, Boy Do We Hear Gossip

Yeah, we hear it all. We have no confirmation of the items listed below. They are simply direct quotes of current and ex-employees. Don't shoot us, we're just the messenger.

  • They hand pick those to be promoted, create positions, and promote people not worthy of promotion because they are favorites without posting the job for others to have a chance. 

  • The hiring practices of one upper manager got them sued for sexual harassment.

  • They hired outside sales reps knowing full well they were under non-compete clauses with previous employers and ended up getting sued.

  • Promoting to supervisory positions people who are yes-men when what the management needs is people willing to say what needs to be said rather than what management wants to hear.

  • Bought a small but profitable company in Houston and in less than 2 years closed down the company because of lack of planning.

  • Sad when the manager of an area is hired only because she is the daughter of a significant other of a VP...who promptly runs off one of the best supervisors in production.

  • A retail manager was run off by the sexual advances of an interning relative of a company principal.
