re: PFG NORTHCENTER: "To
7855 responding to my rumors at this site. Once again you take a defensive
position and you do not dispute my reporting.If Bill Bolton is the hero you make
him out to be than why do all we hear are excuses for not making goal for the
past many years? Why do we hear a different idea or approach to a problem every
time we have a meeting? Why are account managers treated differently? So instead
of responding as you do just please respond to the facts. We have sent
other e-mails to this site as to how we feel morale can change and savings can
also be made. I am glad that someone reads these rumors now just please respond
to the facts so that we can once again feel pride in our leadership."

It's just about unanimous. How does he get away with it?

re: USF SAN DIEGO/7856 - "In case you haven't figured it out,
Corporate DOES NOT care. Neither do KKR or CD&R. La Mirada is in a shambles. The
new post-lawsuit commission program has cost most TMs 20% or more in lost
commission. Instead of getting 2.5% or more of the gross, most of us are at 1.5%
to 2%. "But, you're getting mileage and EB now," we're told. All I know is that
I've had some of the lowest commission payouts since I was a rookie many years
ago. Management makes a lot of noise about reviewing the commission program, but
I'm sure nothing will come of it. I can't wait for Monday 8/30, when we go out
and try to use EDGE.

voices for they were always full of crap and BS. Only a person blind and deaf

re: PFG NORTHCENTER: "This is an open letter to Greg Piper
at Northcenter Foods.
Greg we all know that within the
near future you will need to cut expenses as a result of your branch once again
failing to make top line sales so here are some ideas to cut expenses that the
sales force for the most part will gladly accept. Let's start from the top and
work down.
Tell Larry Davis it is time to retire as no one
has confidence in him to keep things held in confidence. Give the job to Joyce
and if need be Lorie can pick up the slack since she has so much time available
based on all the time she spends with Amy.Second get rid of Bill Bolton as once
again he has lost most of the account managers confidence. Give the job to Fred
and eliminate his position. Make the
District Managers work in the field with the account managers at least 4 days
per week and hold them responsible for the success or failure in their district
rather than waiting until the end of the month to read reports and make excuses.
Eliminate or replace the current trainer Mark Michaud as he has all the new
account managers confused with all his various lies and finger pointing. The man
can not take responsibility for his failures.
Lastly tell
Pete Parker it is time to retire as he is the last of the specialists and the
least effective. He can do a great job only to have the account manager lose the
business if the compitetion drops their price by a nickle or so a pound. The
other specialists could show substained growth and they were all let go. If an
account manager needs help let one of the buyers make a sales call to assist.
These moves should save in excess of $300,000.00 and also turn the morale around
within the company.
Mark my words that the account
managers will rebel in small ways to show their disgust with the current line up
of losers. When was the last time Northcenter made their annual sales goal?"

re: PFG NORTHCENTER: "It does not matter if Bill Bolton is
pushing 300 pounds or if he were 175 pounds, the fact is that he is a terrible
VP of Sales and Greg Piper for some reason is keeping him in that position. The
man has lost the sales team and just watch in the coming months all the
salesmans requests to take vacation time the week that a sales meeting is
planned or call in sick.Dennis Paper, Sysco and US are eating our lunch. As a
group we talk and we find the current leadership is very weak. A trainer like
Mark Michaud who does not know the truth if it bit him the ass has got the new
salesman so confused as he tells each one something different when they are
alone. Mark we talk and your lies are very clear, but as long as Bolton listens
to what he wants to hear your lies will continue.
Greg do
you want us to write about Larry Davis and the fact that you can not tell him
anything in confidence? Where are we to turn with our concerns? Until changes
are made Northcenter salesman will use this public forum to air our problems!!!"

re: USF SAN DIEGO: "USF is lucky the economy stinks
otherwise everyone here would be gone! What a depressing place to work.
Morale is at the lowest point in division history. There is no cooperation
between departments. It’s all about self-preservation; blame someone else before
they blame you. A once great division has now been destroyed.
Everything started to unravel with the change in boundaries and has continued
unabated since. Now the latest conversion has done us in; late trucks, shorts,
outs and mispicks. All the buyers are new, the vp of operations gave up and left
and sales is in disarray. For those of us who worked here in better times it’s a
sad thing to see. Unfortunately there’s more to running a division than a
clean office and a checklist. We all wonder how the region and corporate
can sit ideally by and watch the division die.
Hello Corporate is anyone
minding the store???"

A.M./DSM OF THE YEAR: "I thinks its funny that most of the posts
about US Foods come from Ex Sysco/Ex Us Foods people who are now back to being
Sysco People. Alan M you should maybe leave your house occasionally to ride
with your sales people and spend less time bitching at the world. You are one
very sad angry little man, now I understand why your kid don’t speak to you any
more. It must be tough facing the nick name of “The Snake” from everyone you

upset them that we were all hired by a PERSONNEL department.

re: USF ALBANY: "Speed
has been to Albany what Obama has been to the country so far. A a liar, an
absolute failure, and train wreck. Just worry about how it looks and never
mind how it really is. Tell them what we think they want to hear, maybe
their whining will go away for a while, and then maybe we can get away with more
lies and push our idiotic ideology, listen to more whining, and then it'll go
away again. What the heck, if it hasn't worked yet, maybe we just haven't
done enough of it-let's do some more. Totally insane.

re: WLFSA: "To borrow from cinema for the WLFSA update: You
can’t handle the truth! Ohhhhh the humanity of it! Who are these people? The
Head Imbecile continues to stumble, bumble, and fumble. Until the guy is removed
there simply cannot be success any longer. Despite the physical footprint
growth, you have to actually run a business correctly for it to profit and
succeed. Measuring by footprint size does not equate to success! You have to
have an accountable business plan, with accountable personnel, actually
accountably managing it. The fat woman continues to sing the Imbecile’s praises.
“Oh Danny you are the greatest!” And doing huge disservice to the company in the
process. Making her most valuable, but at the same time the least accountable!
How about those 1100 emails in the old in box? Are you seriously managing
anything? Frosty continues to talk a good game to individual high rollers within
the WLFSA, but in the end should be running for the Senate as he is capable of
talking out of both sides of his mouth simultaneously, and not really saying
anything of substance. And as time goes on, any trust built up, has been washed
away. Keep defaulting to the Head Imbecile’s point of view Frosty! What actual
accountability is there for you? Joey boy continues to personify all things ever
written about the Peter Principle, and more. But he’s the Imbecile’s favorite
too. And now to the core group of dissenters? The ones who really have the
weight to make a difference spend most of their time now arguing about when and
how, and slipping further and further away from the goal of the end-game. In
fact, truth be told, several of them are now running for the hills fearful that
the Head Imbecile himself will finally become aware who is who, and who isn’t.
Once the target date slipped past you guys, it could never be the same. Now
watch the bunker building begin. Yet two or perhaps three hold out hope that
testicular fortitude will in the end, rule the day. Can they get everyone back
together? Or do they suffer from too much WLFSA money, and no nads? Meanwhile on
the west coast, they are asking, “potatoes anyone?” What? You didn’t consider
it? On the east coast they’re asking, “Fish! I don’t need no steenking fish. Do
you?” Separately, is anyone keeping score of markets whacked, and markets on
probation, by the number of Principals, and the sheer volume of articulated
Principal displeasure and threatened flight? It reads like a baseball
statisticians dream! How many will it take for the WLFSA to, in the words of the
Head Imbecile, “get it?” By the way, anyone noticed how little that term is
suddenly NOT being used anymore? How many wrongly positioned people in
management (even those acknowledged by the inner sanctum as weak and incapable)
who continue driving results downward will it take before those people, who
really just aren’t any good, finally get the heave? Oh well. The dog days of
summer are passing, and the opportunities are passing by too. So Frosty, keep up
the incessant blather, and watch what you say to the wrong people, because it
may come back to bite you. And in our frustration, I will add Danny, you should
be counting the days, because even if the shareholders can’t re-capture the
balls, the board will. Even the ones you think are bought and paid
for……..Meanwhile the Principal community will pass another quarter in wonder of
it all, asking that boring old, decades old, question about the performance plan
for their business. It’s getting harder to hide."

re: USF SAN DIEGO: "What’s going on at this division?
Last week they “eliminated” the position of a 30 year employee. You can’t
tell me eliminating a clerical position is going to save the division or that
they couldn’t find another position for her. Everyone but the division
president and vp of HR are in disbelief and can’t believe they did this. This
was a person who did everything asked of her and more. And they did it
right before she went on vacation…how cold could they be. 30 years and
they kick you out the door. No chance to say good bye, no “retirement”, no
respect. Is there an HR department at the division? Is there an HR
department at the company? Everyone at the division is speachless.
No one can believe they could treat someone this poorly. This is the
equivalent of “eating your young”. These people are sick and have no
self-respect. How can these people look themselves in the mirror? We
can only hope, pray and do what we can to see they get what they deserve.
The leason to be learned at this division is NO ONE matters and all the
"associate"talk is nothing but BS. This is why UNIONS exist! Maybe
it's time for the clerical staff to join the Teamsters? They need
protection from these @!! holes."

re: USF SAN DIEGO: "There are events and moments which
define a person and an organization; times when you get a glimpse into their
soul. Well today was that day and there was NO soul. Today they
“eliminate” the position of a 30 year employee. Not just any employee, but
the poster child of hard work, dedication and company spirit. The woman
possessed a depression era work ethic; never missed a day of work.
Everything she did was in the best interest of the company; she treated the
company’s money like it was hers. She was the division cheerleader;
organizing, setting up and cleaning up every company potluck. And they
simply walked her out the door…OMG. No effort to find another position.
No effort to allow her to retire with dignity, just kick her to the curb.
It all just business…right? This division has no soul! The people
who did this should be tarred and feathered and run out of town, they should be
put in shackles and have rotten fruit thrown at them, they should have their
heads shaved and paraded through the streets like a Nazi whore. This

finally show his big mouth and bad attitude to one of the suits from upstairs

This comes as no surprise to most of us who work with him because we have been
putting up with this type of behavior for years while his boss Dumbmanic, and
the HR department does little or nothing while trying to look the other way
about this explosive and dangerous employee.
One day he is
going to flip out and who knows what's going to happen, but the one things that
you can bet on is that Sysco Ventura and the do nothing people in HR are going
to be named in a lawsuit for failing to provide a safe work place.

blind in HR have been breaking the law for failing to deal with this problem
correctly, while continuing to put other employees in harms way for failing to
do the job of protecting the other employees at our plant.
The
problems with Riddlin Ronnie have been well documented in the past and yet he
still is allowed to work, and play his evil games here in Ventura.
I guess the model at Sysco Ventura is, if you play ball ( Or Golf in this case )
then you can get away with anything.
It's time to put Riddlin
Ronnie out to pasture.

re: 7827/7834/LINC
ALBANY - "LINC is the grown-up version of elementary school busy work. How
many DSMs, RBMs and Sales VPs have figured out that 70% (at a minimum) of what's
posted on LINC is pure BS. Expecting TMs to log in after each call during the
day to write "Showed sample and talked to the chef about giving me an order"
is ridiculous. We barely have enough time during the day to see all our
customers. Will Calls, credit issues, late trucks all take time away from
selling. LINC steals even more time from what we're supposed to be doing. I
think we should ask Oracle for a refund.

re: SYSCO BOSTON: "hey carlson,
do you think lord fraser will pat you on the back when you get hurt?
He will pat you on the #ss as the door hits you in the behind. Keep up the
good work you suck pump P.S. there have been
better pickers than you and they are not there anymore. May
the back force be with you.

re: 7827/LINC ALBANY: "It's not just Albany. Most of
the senior staff and corporate suits spend more time on theory and oiling each
other's butts than on doing the things that raelly grow business. Their
mentality is, "Let's not be concerned with how things really are. Let's
just worry about how they look." US Foods is a losing organization.
In plain English, it sucks."

re: 7825/ALBANY: "It's a play with words. Taggart, Mirarci,
Speed, and the rest of the senior management get it. It has to do with a
very special relationship held by Taggart with Speed's approval with a
subordinate TM where he placed the company in a BIG liabilty situation and they
all knew and didn't give a crap. Just sweep it under rug and it'll go away
just like everything else in this place.
Hey Taggart, how
about a comment you piece of s...!"

re: SYSCO BOSTON: "sysco of boston Hey
pinnocio, STOP Lying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You got rid of the four ten hour schedule in the warehouse, but now the trend is
to bring guys in three hours early to try and get the trucks out on time.
All warehouse guys should stop doing management a favor. Stop coming in
early or on vacations, make them eat it. Hire enough guys to
get the job done. The trucks are not getting out at four am as you
stated in a meeting in December"

re: SYSCO BOSTON: "I would like to applaud sysco for getting
denied a big tax break with the new building. The major reason being
recent layoffs. That is what they get for trying to save pennies by laying
off people. In the long haul it cost them millions. I love it.
Stop messing with the people."

WORLDS LARGEST FOODSERVICE SALES AGENCY: "Summertime blues at the
WLFSA! Head Imbecile now convinced by others within the organization that the
guy he thought was responsible for calling a spade a spade, is not actually the
guy responsible. Cause for serious libations at night. Now convinced that
someone out there who he thought “doesn’t get it” might actually get it after
all! The realization was draining! The guy he thought was a bad guy, will always
be a shithead, and an arrogant prick, but he is just a little bit above, really
just a little tiny bit, above this kind of stuff. Remember that the Head
Imbecile, in lieu of logically considering alternatives, defaults to “he doesn’t
get it!” as the argument against thinking about things he may not like or agree
with. Now he wonders how many more plan to sue. Can it be a consortium of very
important dissatisfied stockholders of significant impact (no pun intended), who
are ready to strike within 60 days, or is it something more sinister? A handful
of influential, and very key, middle management folks from the east coast
actively seeking exodus. Meanwhile over on the business side of things, certain
large principal personalities, several of whom were never big supporters of the
big footprint idea, are beating the drum constantly for change within their own
organizations, and to others both within and without the WLFSA organization.
That can’t help! When the big guns see each other at shows and conferences, and
share notes, then go and tell 20 people about the note sharing, how good can
that be? Particularly since the ever-illusive accountability issue is still
somewhat fluid within the management of WLFSA. Keep losing those small ones
guys, and pretending that it isn’t an epidemic! All those principals who still
don’t get it, but keep whacking markets, and threatening probation in others,
when they come to the conclusion that nobody is really accountable at WLFSA,
aren’t too happy either folks. So the wheels continue to spin, and lots of
insiders recognize that the wheels may be coming off. The after 6PM phone calls
amongst certain of the management double monthly. Callused ears from too much
phone time. Several have taken to using non-business cell phones to eliminate or
reduce any potential questions, or the possibility of discovery. That can’t be
good! Meanwhile down in Texas, which is being managed differently than things
out east (why is that?), despite the company losing a half mil + in the previous
quarter, things are becoming clearer, and the head scratching has begun. Wait
‘til the west coast dudes get going. Lookout! At what point will the new
corporate motto be force-changed to, “OK, OK! We get it!” Keep your eyes wide,
and your ears open people. Things are just starting to get interesting!"
