sooooo…. another 3 days of excessive drinking , adultery, and telling leo how great of a guy he is . what a crock .
THIS THREAD
I WISH THERE WAS SOME REAL INFO HERE.
WB Rumors
WBM food for thought. Leo bullies the Greene’s into taking less than their true value for their piece of the company. (Steve’s already gone and John is next) and then sells the company for many times more than what the Greenes received. Then Leo can... — read more
Essendant closing both Woburn and Baltimore distribution facilities
Essendant posted today that they are closing their Woburn distribution location in mid March and will be shipping products from their Albany NY distribution location starting in mid March. WOW. Baltimore soon after. I guess WB Mason can see the tail... — read more
WRONG DIRECTION !
The direction has changed. It started changing years ago, but it's going to turn even more in the next few years. Amazon is ramping up the Business division. Their trucks are great. The deliveries are on time. Prices are right. Vendors are able... — read more
where is the Best sales company to work for?
Anyone go to a company that you can say is great?
Laughable
As someone who was promoted to customer during covid and actually went to the trade show today……it’s laughable. I can’t believe they are still in business. Do they even have any customers left??? Hahahahhahaha. It’s amazing — read more
another court loss!!
love it when mason loses summary judgement cases!! this one looks like it was for age discrimination. google it!! let’s do a summary: seems like a reallllll good place to work. hoping they lose their shirts!!
It’s coming……
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.
trade show again??
i read somewhere that the stadium trade shows are returning. this might have worked when reps actually spent time with customers but in today’s masonville , this show has high possibilities of epic fail . make sure you call your 1000 customers and... — read more
How many sales rep will be left in 2 years?
Anyone have an idea?
One of the Greene Brothers has sold his piece?
I think it was quiet one.
HOW MUCH DO BRANCH MANAGERS MAKE?
What are they getting paid? Anyone know? Im sure it varies depending how they're liked.
$270K
Still a rep, on pace to do the same this year. Thoughts?
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
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
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.
CAN THEY STOP THE BLEEDING
Redsox Nation Biz is down double digits. Trucks are going out half full Other deliveries aren't going out at all Reps. What reps. No more outside sales reps are being hired. Amazon winning. Manufacturers that WB use to abuse will partner with... — read more
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.
Class action
Do you think they teach about the class action lawsuit at The Leo J. Meehan School of Business at Stonehill College? He is the CEO of a company that stole from his employees, admitted or not. Who settles for $5 million when you didn’t do anything... — read more
What's the Latest & Greatest at the WHO BUT!?
I know the 100 sales reps that are left read this thread. What's going on there? Any good news? Expansion? hiring? Management Training? New Trucks?
Year End Coin Change Binus
What’s this $50,$75 year end bonus? Is this a joke or what? What’s that suppose to be really? Does anyone receive bonus at this place?
BEST COMPANY
BEST COMPANY EVAAA !!! Fricking Ever
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
another lawsuit!!!!’
Seems the young lady that the mason driver ran over last year had a bit more than a few scrapes . broken femur multiple ankle fractures multiple pelvic fractures severe blood loss etc according to witnesses : “ the mason truck stopped... — read more
Will Amazon Eat WB?
Who is more recognized? Who has a better website? Who has better delivery? Who has more Trucks? Who has better employees? Who has better management?
Coming back
I’m in the NY area and was furloughed like every other rep. No communication from corporate, no “how’s it going” from the people still at the branch, not even a “you su-k you’re never coming back”. I hear they have been putting feelers out to see... — read more
Managers are Becoming Sales Reps

WB owners
Don’t have a reputation you scream and yell at your employees. After all you have employed so many people, including myself, providing us with the financial stability we all need. You have a great company, great people. Don’t scream or curse at your... — read more
WB
I was furloughed. I moved on. Have a great job now with a company that actually cares or at least gives the impression they care. I urge you to look around. Seek better, cause there's nothing good about that company. Have friends that are still... — read more
Changes you'd like to see here?
Unfortunately, those changes that I believe are necessary for the company to move forward, I do not believe will happen……. In any case, I'm interested what changes you would like to see here?
WB - It's Ovvvvvaaahhhhhhhh
where is ownership?
AI to take WB Mason Jobs
WB investing in AI to replace sales positions.
$270K Fraud
Saw your post - still making the $270K - Still not a fraud just moving along and playing the game… Better than you did obviously. :( Happy all you studs got a reality check and furloughed. I sleep well at night. Thanks for all the accounts if you... — read more
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
WB ....... Can they be here in 5 years?
Who buuuutttt
