Does anyone else find it upsetting that FTD is still posting new jobs and fictitious information about how great it is to work for them although their bankruptcy has costs so many jobs?

Can't find any info about this guy

Shari’s has been bought out by 1800-flowers. They’ve laid off their entire team. (What’s left of them)

It looks like the same buyer is buying FTD but the price has raised from 95 mil to 118. Anyone able to confirm it? Source: https://www.wsj.com/articles/gateway-mercury-to-buy-flower-delivery-firm-ftd-out-of-bankruptcy-11564623909

Hope everyone from the 2018 layoffs is doing well and has moved on to bigger and better things!

July 15 passed and nothing on omnimgmt web site regarding any new bidders? Anyone have any insight?

Nexus, Do you really know what your buying? I'm sure your reviewing this site. Maybe give a call to a handful of employees from various departments and get their opinion, off the record. It will be a lot different then the picture your getting from... —  read more 

FTD just sold off most of their assets! If the current management is still in place it will slowly bleed until it bleeds out. Nobody will buy them, 800 flowers and teleflora will eat them for lunch. The wire service is a thing of the past and nobody... —  read more

It's too bad that FTD leadership is focused on obscuring the truth rather than addressing their resolvable issues. How about having one of remaining Managers stop by Sam's or Costco on the way to the SD office to pick up some TP.

I have been a sales guy to about every player in this vertical for about twenty years and being a sales guy who pours a heavy drink or two, I made many friends at Provide, FTD and even Teleflora, 1800Flowers and the Newer startups. Here’s my take:... —  read more 

FTD's stock was as low as 13 cents a share today mid trading session. I can't figure out who in their right mind would even pay 10 cents a share for a company that is actively liquidating every profitably part of their business. The building is... —  read more

Think this is a question that many of us want to know the answer. So, does anyone know how long will this go on? Any rumors or info on that subject that some of the folks on this board could share ?

What kind of severance payment is offered? Also, is it possible to negotiate the severance?

In public filings, it shows big retention and transaction bonuses to be paid to the clowns Jay & Scott and other ELT. That better not happen, since they are the ones that drove the company in the ground. —  read more

There's plenty of better jobs out there, with a company that will not lie, cheat and steal from their customers. You'll all do well and I wish you all the luck.

It was awesome working with you all.

Only a matter of time before nothing can save them! What a shame. Management is who needs to go

PF restructuring. 200 ppl laid off.
