Work at the sharpsville plant is a complete disaster.
With the changes in the plant...stores rarely get what they order and when they do its up to a day late sometimes...the new ordeting system is a failure...customers are leaving in droves. Management is clueless to solve any problems.
Theres no way this compny survives under current management
Sounds just like what’s happening in Franklin, MA. One disaster after another.
Update: since the closing of Meadow Brook...Sharpsville has been a complete disaster. Losing customers on a daily basis. Loads sitting in the yard not being delivered, shortages on a grand scale...Giant Eagle our largest customer put us on notice to get it right or they will look elsewhere...they all ready have a secondary dairy in their stores for our mistakes...Wal mart Ohio sent us packing in September and the Sams in Pennsylvania just left...big wigs from all over showing up and still no changes...being an employee for over 20 years ...i have never seen failure on such a grand scale...without a buyout i don't see us surviving for long...i expect more radical changes first of the year
The end is coming from Dean Foods. The board of trustees should realize the CEO Ralph is over his head did not even think of the consequences of closing the Lynn plant what it would do to all his customers all he cared about was saving millions of dollars while laying off over 300 employees. Just Wayton Boston Globe’s part two comes out about possible salmonella poisoning, delivering mail in non-refrigerated trucks on 95° days in August, wait till Stop & Shop realizes that the delivery from Truck drivers do not have medical cards and received cases of milk delivered in non-refrigerated trucks along with Cumberland Farms in August and September 95* days 😳 #fireRalph
Same situation in the Franklin, MA plant. A complete disaster.
You are exactly correct! They don’t care about us at all. The writing is on the wall. Stock just keeps going down down down.
Last month I got out of a toxic frustration factory filled with hypocrisy, double standards, back-stabbers and ego-maniacs. Everyone should think about their health and sanity, my husband said he’s starting to see the woman he married, I found another position and it is work, but no drama like last year. There is life after Dean Foods.
You are absolutely right. Look for major restructuring and divestitures. Perhaps an outright sale. No doubt about it. If something big was not coming, leadership would have at least attempted to calm the fears in the workplace. Of course no one is calm and we know something is coming. I can’t get even the most simple tasks completed when it calls for others to do their part. I think it’s because everyone sees the writing on the wall and are doing as little as possible. Can’t say I blame them. Time to start thinking about #1 because you know Dean is not worried about any of us. They’d fire everyone of us if they thought they could give more to the shareholders and still get the job done.
