It's not "billions" content marketing boy. It's 1 billion.

Best "clic through rate" in the industry is the type of BS chatter we expect from a Meehan company.

Dunder Mifflin Mason learned about online ads over a decade too late and now think they're smarter than Amazon!

They've always been behind.

It's a sh*t company. End of debate. If you're still there it's because you enjoy mental abuse or don't realize there's better out there.

Ecommerce industry in the U.S. grew over 30 percent since the pandemic. W.B.'s numbers went down during that same span.

So could the Millennial mo--n and his "sitch" talk spare us the lies?

We work for one of the few ecomm companies that couldn't figure this out fast enough, while most every other online distributor saw growth.

One kid gets hit out of the millions of stops we have made is pretty good. At least we didn’t damage the building this time. Our insurance guy Jake from State Farm said accidents a happen we used to use Progressive Flo but she wouldn’t cover it up and UPS who models their routes after Our gold star service hits a person everyday. Who but WB hasn’t accidentally hit a person

so, if i read this right :

Making a delivery was more important than a 19 yr old college kids leg? Is that statement correct?

please qualify what defines “ mumble rap.”. Sounds racist to me . With a less than 8 % non white enrollment, i doubt they were listening to “ mumble rap”, whatever that might be .

And , to clarify : you believe the truck was “ hijacked by a furloughed rep”? Is this statement correct ? Was this former rep arrested? Was he or she charged with an offense? Was he or she dressed as the tooth fairy? Were they wearing a mason hat?

While safety is a concern our number one concern is to provide excellent deliveries of our name brand products. One source onederful. The kid was listening to that mumble rap stuff so they didn’t hear our truck in route to make delivery 65 of the 142 stops that day. We did not want any injuries while driving but we believed our truck was hijacked by a furloughed rep who struck the student on purpose to tarnish our name. Gold star doesn’t hit people we hit the streets with our feet to make calls and deliveries

according to Bates College, and the local news , The college student did not , as you say, “ jump in front of the truck”.

The truck , which does not appear to be the “ green “ version( verifiable in the pictures from the scene of the incident), was reported to be backing up, and several people were observed yelling “ stop” at the driver.

Your driver , in fact , backed up , hit a pedestrian, and caused substantial damage to her leg.

Maintain control of your vehicle at all times.

Look each way before driving .

aren’t all these things listed on huge posters in the mason warehouses?

Your driver appears at fault. He or she failed to maintain control of their vehicle , and caused bodily harm to a female student.

happiness is the truth..

Sometimes when you are at the top people want to take you down with false suits. The industry was being sold fake bills of goods during the pandy. Our strategic partners failed us with properly checking the inventories authenticity. Gen Z kids do not want to work as hard so when our GOLD star service was making an attempt to deliver the lowest prices products in the world to the college campus one made an attempt to jump in front of our beautiful and GREEN truck while we were providing their university with as little carbon footprint as possible. NEXT DAY delivery can sometimes mean next year have you seen the supply chain issues it is an industry standard.

Blinded by the light…..

Mason seemed that they did know about the masks. google the 3M response that was filed . class action lawsuit guidelines are pretty clear, and it does appear mason’s actions warranted a filing. The entire legal brief that was filed is available on line at “ no cost”. Read it.

In respect to privacy, ( won’t drop names), but there are numerous lawsuits filed for harassment, commissions, etc. A 2 minute google search can verify . If you want to spend a bit of money, you can access ALL the documents and responses filed with the courts in multiple jurisdictions. Read them all. There’s too much consistency amongst all the filings, which would tend to back up the plaintiffs claims .

how about your super gold star driver who ran over a college student last year? top talent ??

Gold — guaranteed overnight local delivery?? Haaaaaa. How about those customers that ordered paper towels and hand sanitizer, ( name brand), only to get them delivered almost a year late?

yes, there are some very good people still working there. I wish them nothing but the best . I understand that they need to feed their families , pay bills etc. They need to do what’s right for them and their families, and i will respect that.

To the ones who still believe that there’s nothing wrong, take an objective look ——

We did not know our masks were fake we got ripped off. If a customer was concerned they could have requested a sample prior to ordering. It was a time where we were being scammed along with lots of others. Simple mistake we fixed the sitch. 45 miles to Philly area is no problem for our industry leading, gold star drivers. We would drive hundreds of miles a day to service our end users. If our employees are not able to adapt to the changes we make to have the greatest service and company in the universe then we are okay for them to choose other career paths. We retain the best talent in the industry.

get the facts right:

Google “ atlantic coast creations vs wb”—— according to the documents , mr wonderful sold what he knew were counterfeit 3M masks , but said they were the real deal, and he gouged the prices . Yeah , WB is a saint !

Foxwoods: foxwoods stopped after essendant and other vendors stopped funding it . They all sell direct now and don’t need a distributor such as mason because they use and worked out better deals with Amazon.

they close a branch in delaware, which leaves ONE branch with distribution capability within 45 miles of Philadelphia—- certainly not because biz is booming but because biz is slow.

I personally know over half a dozen managers that walked away in the last year and a half . Excellent job on retaining talent .

Be real, your posts aren’t even spelled correctly and are grammatically incorrect.

I’ve heard rumors of brockton encouraging these types of postings —- can’t get good publicity so better make up something quick .

FWB our numbers are down as most national companies are with remote work still around 50% compared to the 15-20 prior to the vid, but GP is up baby and loads are loaded heavier than before. Inflation busters is what we are to our end users and they understand the value in our service and pricing model. Lawsuits are always going to be a thing when you are as amazing as William Betts. Haters gonna hate but we just keep on rolling with the punches. Foxwoods was played out you can only see married old men creep on the young talent for so long, and baseball is an old sport that does not gel with our new millenial and gen Z account base most did not even want the tickets. Take up car allowance with your local accuntant as you are entitled to claim those per your driven miles for work.

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.

We're just here to work hard for the paycheck until Meehan sells. Distribution center employees will be safe after he sells. Headquarters employees probably won't be. I've seen this dozens of times with every small company Staples, Amazon, or even Meehan buys.

how those class action lawsuits going??
How about the commission lawsuits?

How about the harassment lawsuits?

Completely honest here, i see less and less of the delivery trucks each day. mason, by their own reporting for fiscal 2022, was still down significantly from pre covid . This is easily verified by a google search .

How’s the foxwoods? How about baseball tickets?? How’s those car allowances? If steve greene really posted that last one, he’s a dope because of all the misspellings etc.

How’s the mason 401k plan doing?

Don’t believe the brockton clowns. If you are still there, you know they have issues.

jeeez, how’s the newark branch ??

We only shut down Newark because it was a useless branch. We are thriving more than ever door to door floor to floor all day errry day. You see our goofy looking circus truck all over Masonville. The seven things are entrenched in our brains. Customers cannot leave because we hit them with the seven things. Mason Forever!
