Spud, You just proved what a dumbass you are. You better be in the union, how else would such a dumb shit make a living. I know we lost a couple of high rise buildings but we haven't had an eartquake, mudslide,or grassfire in along time. Last time I checked you corner the market on faggots too.When you pull over to milk some over time, do you take a big one in the backdoor. Maybe that great union health care will help you when you get HIV. You just keep telling yourself "you can't be replaced" YOU DUMB #$CK

  Comment: This week IBC posted a net loss of $14.48 millon dollars for the four weeks ended Dec. 11 (a period of just one month!) in addition to spending $8.84 millon dollars in reorgainization expenses for it's announced bankruptcy! How is that for stinking to high heaven? Their stock today has a current overall rating of D negative. Appreciation potential (50) is neutral; Power Rating (0) is very low. It's current appeal is likely to be limited to only Capital Gain-oriented investors. IBCIQ is of very low investment quality. Do you agree with me now that it is time to bury IBC and to move on? It's time to put up or shut up!

IBC has been dead and stinking too long. Why is it not buried? God know it stinks, I know it stinks and so do you. Let's bury it and move on. Please God, can you help us here?

  Comment: To Anonymous from Hodgkins, IL.: You made a good point in your post. The reason why these so called RSR's want the Thrift Stores to close is, they do not make any commission from the sales in these stores. I can bet if they were to make a commission from the sales, they would not be bitching about closing all Thrift Stores.

To the so called "employee" with the comments about the thrift stores. Maybe you are the uneducated one. I personally would not like the thrift stores to close. As a dedicated employee for 15 years, I would like to keep my job. Befor you bad mouth the thrift stores maybe you should take a visit to other stores. I pride myself on having one of the best stores around. We are never rude or are any of my crew uneducated. If you are an employee why wouldnt you want to see everyone keep their jobs? By the way if you knew anything at all you would know that right now the so called "thrift stores" are the only part of the company making money Get your information straight before you start blabbing.

we can all blame mgmt, supv. , and tony alvarez, but when it comes down to it WE have to put out the cake properly, WE have to service the stores (all of them), and WE have to look at what WE order. do the job right and you will get results. also stop the bullshit O.T. all of sudden it takes 1 hr. & 45 minutes to settle up.ok. for teamsters we became the biggest crybabies and bullshit artists. we want more but wont do more. now thats corporate america.

If the company wants to be profitable again it's true that we should close the thrift stores or at least make the THRIFT stores again. Why would a consumer go to Dominicks or Jewel and spend 3.00 on a loaf of fresh bread when they can go to the thrift store and by fresh bread for 1.00. When I got into the bakery business the thrift stores were for stale and overbakes NOT fresh product. So MR. A - listen - get rid of the thrift stores you'll make money and save money from paying all these ignorant thrift store employees, they are rude, uneducated and Kay Mulready is a jerk. She doesn't know how to talk to people and her people use her as an example on how to talk to customers.

Go ahead and sell the Henderson Bakery to Bimbo. It hasn't been profitable since it opened. We were better off when Pomona, Glendale and L.A. were taking care of us. Management in Henderson is clueless...... highest employee turn over percentage of any bakery, lost almost all of the Casino business, etc.

I'm still confused? Was it the $40 million workers comp. adjustment or the krispy kreme donuts or was it the adkins diet trend or was it the new accounting (SAP) system that caused IBC to go BK? As I recall it seemed like it was a different story each week. I hope the truth comes out in this formal SEC hearing. Maybe the judge will then prosecute those who misled stock holders and give them some jail time with some hefty fines. Show us some justice because these corporate big shots are getting away with too much bullshit. If it was the little guy on the bottom that did this he would not see the light of day.

hey hostess in cali the one coming up with all the ideas. brilliant. it is a shame alvarez could not stoop to our level and ask us for advice. we in the field, the ones selling the product, winning over the customers, outdoing our competition on a daily basis. we are the backbone of this company. no matter what anyone else says. all of you posting with with your silly comments, whining and bitching, it does nothing but cast an even darker light upon us. we are ath the bottom of the totem pole in the eyes of so many. but there are enough people out there who want us to come back from the depths. give them reason to believe in our future, and not our demise.cut the crap people. is someone out ther who constantly rants about "big deb" really think he/she is helping out our current situation? grow up people!let's all come up with some legit suggestions, not bullshit, that might help. otherwise we will all might be looking for a new job one day.

I'm back with another idea! In the 20+ years that I've worked for this Co. I've never seen a route or been on a route that needs 5 day service.All cake routes should work four 10 hour days.M-TU-TH-FR. You will not lose any volumne and the savings on OT and 20% less gas and wear and tear on the trucks should make this idea more than worthwhile.REACTION??

Those of you posting for IBC to wake up make some moves etc., prepare yourself for Alvarez economics. Now we can save IBC by ridding ourselves of restaurant contracts, private products, etc.. With the ability to increase sales being nonexisistent for years, maybe this is a move toward auctioning the plants & depots off quicker. More needless corporate positions opening soon in used equipment sales. Or the after SOAR dept.

I can see from the post below asking for Alvarez to wake-up and take up their challenge now, not later when it will be too late for anything but the corporate funeral arrangements! Every notable book ever published on human relationships of all kinds, including your local workplace, contain gospel-like words on this same subject. IBC has to trim down. They are heavy not at the base (feet) but at the top (head). The feet support the inbetween part (the body). Get busy or get ready to leave town! Proctor & Gamble corporate gunslingers are coming soon!

Hey Alvarez,quit screwing around and let's get serious about turning this Co. around.We have 34,000 people working for IBC so cut 15% of the workforce.That comes out to be 5,100 people for you Einsteins.You need people to sell and deliver the products we make,so let's not cut anyone there.Well, okay we can cut 10% of all route sales related jobs.(rsr's,supervisors).That's 510 jobs cut,but only in the areas that are not producing or not profitable.Next, cut 25% of all district mgrs. and zone mgrs.That would be 25% less Co. cars and gas used. Next would be production and transportation, stop making the high stale items and stick with the best sellers. Here we can cut another 10-15% and still be able to handle things.The rest of the personnel at IBC should take a cut of of about 20%.Now it's up to you Mr. Alvarez,do something now before it's too late. REACTION????

  Comment: Gillette has a CEO today telling us (consumer-employees) to expect even more mega-mergers and acquisitions among consumer-product company-employers like Proctor & Gamble in the wake of $52.4 billion purchase of his razor-battery company. The sick part in all this is his blantant attempt to sell his bullshit story to you and I who make up almost the entire group of consumer-employees living in America. Mr. Jim Kilts, as he is called, would have you believe something as devestating to you and I as the bubonic plague will be good for us. He says, and I quote, "strength plus strength equals success." Many years ago, our railroads were trying to sell us this same line of bull. Ask them what happened next. Our federal government stepped in and told them railroad monopolies and trusts were illegal. And what happens to employees in America when there are less employers in America? American jobs leave Amercia, that's what. Now we have a bunch of bankrupt former consumer-employee's, like you and I, standing on street corners in America, selling apples! Get lost, Mr. Kilts and take your company and your bag of bullshit over to a third-world country and see how much you get for your razors and batteries there. What an asshole! How can you be an Amercan and work for someone like him? The truth to this question is that you can't! It would be like a Jew working for Hitler!

We don't blame you but look around at the ones you have asked for guidance and trust, they are the ones that sat in silence as our company sank to the level it is now at. Can it be shaken back to life? maybe. But only if you get rid of those that we feel took us down. Then and only then will you get the cooperation from anyone in management or supervision to make IBC a vibriant company. I've seen it happen too many times and if you don't have our cooperation you will fail and not succeed. The chioce is yours to make, what will it be?

  Comment: Maybe IBC should give Proctor and Gamble a call. Before they do that however we need to dress them up real good. Someone who is spending 57 billion for a company named Gillette is certainly someone IBC needs to see. Proctor and Gamble buys IBC! Now we are talking. Think about it...forget the Federal Trade Commission. Corporate Steroids take over the world trade centers! Think about all the name brands under one roof. Now in addition to a one world government, we only need one of everything. One bank, one employer, one brand of gasoline and so on. Do you think Japan or China is going to join us in this one big happy world of ours? I don't think soooooo. Get the nukes ready!

To the people IBC has screwed with please file as many unfair labor charges as we can. Lets show this country how iIBC treats its employees and how their busniness ethic has got them in trouble that they are in. They don't treat the employees very good and they sure don't care about the consumer. This is a Fact! File it File it File it!

Re: Who will hire these people that don't speak english? LOOK who hired them in the first place (IBC). This is all our HR department will hire. These people shake their head yes when asked if they understand what to do, you turn your back and they are doing the opposite of what you asked them to do. Add this to another reason IBC is going down the tubes. What ever happen to EEOC? All HR departments need to get the ethnic make up more equal quit stacking the bakeries with only BROWN and I don't mean UPS.

Most of the hourly employees will have a hard time finding another job that pays $17.00 an hour for sweeping the floor or working on the production lines or wrappers as they have very little education. Many can not speak english well also. Who will hire people like these? Very sad indeed if plant closure is to occure.

  Comment: The IBC stock clock today is busy ticking away what little is left of a once major U.S. Corporation. The baked goods they served up at one point in time, is now fodder for their critics whom now shout stockfraud, race discrimination and unlawful sexual harassment charges! Several successful lawsuits by these plaintiffs have succeeded in draining away the life this company once enjoyed. Those that know about the pain and sorrow this company brought about are delighted to see it suffer and to soon disappear forever. Dust to dust and ashes to ashes. In Amercia, we all hope the order of the day is ...You will always continue to reap what you do indeed sow in your life!

Let me tell you. I came across this site by accident and I can tell you I have never seen such a bigger group of unprofessional people in my life. I know the situation with IBC must be stressfull but does that mean someone like DP should have this kind of mean spirited messages with an employee. An to the employees you should count your blessings even at time like this. I bet if you went to IBP or any other meatpacking plant you would find plenty of people to trade places with you. Do you think that being mean spirited to people like Randy, Jeff and others you named in your posting will help you. Just remember you probably wern't thinking it when they offered you the job. DP you should stop communicating on this site it is very unprofessional and you others should be thankful you have a job even as tenuis as yours may be. Maybe if you put your energy into your job instead of belly aching about it, IBC may not be in the position it is in now.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., Jan. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Interstate Bakeries Corporation (OTC: IBCIQ) today announced that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has issued a formal order of private investigation into issues that were the subject of a previously announced informal inquiry by the SEC. The formal investigation appears to concern matters related to a previously announced investigation by the Company's audit committee into the Company's manner for setting its workers' compensation reserves and other reserves. The Company is cooperating fully with the SEC and will continue to do so. The Company does not expect to comment further on developments related to this matter and disclaims any intention or obligation to update any of the information contained in this release, except as may be required by law.

Lets do the math. The Judge has given Mr. Alvarez & Marsals until July 19 to come up with a plan for reorganization. Alvarez & Marsals has already made $8.84 million for the time up to December. Now give them another 7 months to fill their pockets with over $17 million in more cash. We need to shoot this horse and put it out of its misery.

Venters on Jan. 19 gave IBC (an additional six month extention!) until July 19th to file its exclusivity reoranization plan. Talk about overcooking bread!

  Comment: Earlier today, IBC disclosed a change in status of what had been only an unofficial inquiry action of the SEC! It's now official folks! The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued a formal order of private investigation into issues that were the subject of a previously announced investigation into how IBC set its workers compensation reserves as well as how it set other reserves containing large amounts of corporate cash. COMMENTS! This "formal order" is a good indicator. IBC may have been hiding something from their employees, stockholders, general public and the SEC. Cooking the Corporate Books could be one of them! This is the first disclosure of IBC having set aside "other types of reserves" as well. Now, we will have to wait and observe! Check the passenger lists on all forms of public and private transporation systems leaving Kansas City against IBC Corporate Officer lists now! Tell Martha she may expect to receive several unexpected guests real soon.

DP-Your poo does stink. It must be nice to recieve all fo the money you get paid for when you don't even work 8 hours a day, lets see you come to work after 8 take a long lunch, and then leave before 4:30. Sometimes you are gone before 4:00. Can we all have your job? Thats right we don't have that there education that you bragged about. Although, if we all took brownnose 101 we could probably do the same. I hope you don't cry....or go smoke in the smoke room bragging.......You should just tuck your tail between your legs and wipe the poo off your nose, it's getting darker each day. what is it 5 inches thick now?

It is nice that we are able to post again. If Mgmt. took 5% of what is posted on this website, it would go to the greater good. You can always take a positive from a negative, if you look hard enough.I.B.C. should do what other companies have done for years and listen to employees complaints/ suggestions.It can only pay dividends for the company.You would think the company would be looking to go back to the basics. Except start with a new attitude from mgmt. Upper and middle mgt. need to have a vision for the future and need to convey this message in a positive manner. I have seen firsthand, the way managers have conducted themselves.For example, I had a mgr. ask me if I was going to have stock at the end of the day. I told him, I was not sure, but I would try to sell the product. His response was ; I guess you are going to do it your way. Now, a more positive response would have been; "Employee", we need to make sure that we make every effort possible to sell the product. All it would take is positive enforcement of policies, with simple explanations from mgt. to their empoyees. It sounds like Business Mgt. 101. Most employees want to do a good job, but supervisors need to guide them with a positive attitude. Just a sugesstion I.B.C., have your managers think in a more positive manner and they will reap the benefits. Sales will go up , and so will employee morale. We are in the sales business and positive attitudes are what drives sales.Retraining of managers is a must for this company to survive. Good Luck I.B.C.

IS THERE A REASONABLE EXPLANATON FOR THIS? THE PACKAGE SAYS: "IF YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS ABOUT OUR PRODUCTS, PLEASE WRITE US.....INCLUDE THE ORIGINAL PACKAGE". I HAVE THE PACKAGE, YET IT IS CERTAINLY NOT WORTH MY 37 CENTS TO MAIL IT TO YOU ( ALTHOUGH IT WOULD ONLY BE 33 CENTS IF IT WERE 1999!)I CANT IMAGINE WHERE THAT RINGDING HAS BEEN THROUGHOUT THE PAST SIX YEARS...I FEEL SICK HAVING HAD A BITE OF IT.

To:Long Time Employee...you must be delusional....I must have missed the whole point, because I have no idea what you are talking about. If you have a problem with something I've done, you better get up to my office and talk to me about it. You're up here most of the time anyway. You of all people speaking of ethics...I'm not the one that flys off the handle at people, whether they are in your department or not. Remember Friday......I could have easily filed a complaint with Steve B on you...you put the company at a risk for a lawsuit. Talk about intergrity and being on this website...a few of us were checking it out yesterday and saw the comment about Charlie, so I decided to answer it. I never said one thing about anyone here in Davenport....you did..you started this. It was your unprofessionalism. Write whatever you want back, but be assured I will not read it. I will not log onto this site again. This is moranic....if you have a problem, you better come see me....because guess what...you've caused a big problem. Just a common employee who deals with me frequently...funny how this got answered via company email when you got back from lunch! Maybe you should take advantage of the company's EAP, you definately need it.

hahaha..deb you missed the whole point, it doesn't matter if your employees like you or not what matters if you talk abou tthem. most managers don't talk about thier co-workers to thier other co-workers, ya know give out confidential information. to make sure you understand it is unethical to talk about employee b to bemployee c when you are boss a. you could be putting your complany at risk, you know how you creat e a hotil invironment. the only reason why you are staying here is because you know no t to many other employers would tolerate your unprofessional, unethical behavior..... what you go to school for? diid not know they had a degree for unprofessionalism and 2 faced ness. bye deb...also, most managers with any integrity wouldn't bother posting comments on this site much less use thier initials.....and i am not a manager, just a common employee who deals with you frequently

To: A Long Time Employee - I didn't know that I had that kind of power to jeopardize your job....but that's still not the reason you won't put your name....the word that comes to my mind starts with a p and ends with a y. Since I have now figured out who this is, your wrong about why I am where I am. I am where I am because I chose to go to college and make something of myself....that way, if this job does end, I can easily find another job....unlike you who will be SOL! Your employees are the ones who can't stand you...and by the way, I must be doing my job correctly if all of mine do not like me. Have you ever really known me to care if they did or didn't, I'm not here to make any friends...I have plenty of them. P.S You still need some language, capitalization and spelling skills!!!!

To Linda from the Thrift Store asking the location of other union jobs. Check out the web sites for Flowers and Saralee. You can locate their different locations and see which jobs are available. You do not mention your general area. Illinios/Ohio/ Penn or where ever. So I cannot give you good advise. Over the last year I've seen the axe coming. My next job looks to be secured and not with IBC. I've located a BCT union bakery other than with IBC. They do exist. Keep in mind bakeries are not the only union jobs available. What state are you in...

To DP-- i don't have balls, i am not capable. and maybe i won't put my initials on here because i don't want you to jeopardize my job. and you are the biggest backstabber. all you do is walk around and talk about your employees to other employees. the only reason why you are where you are with mr. smith is because you have a brown nose, and chain of command....there isn't any? how would you know have you ever tried it? charlie is gone, gone, gone, leave him alone and worry about your bakery.................checked i still didn't grow my balls, can't because i am incapable of it.

To a long time employee...first of all you need to go back to school and learn some grammer and spelling! Second...if you want to write nasty things about me, at least have enough balls to put your name or initials...what a loser. Anyone can make comments if they do not use their name...at least I put my initials on my comments. Maybe you need to go, because as far as I can tell, you are the back -stabber. You're the one talking about me and not telling me who you are! And lastly...if I get let go, so be it. SInce you think you know me so well..you should know that I work because I want to, not because I have to!!!!

To Lenexa..I do not call Charlie ALL the time..only when there is a problem with his area that can't seem to get fixed....and I know he will fix it. You say I should go to my department heads....well let me tell you what..they are the ones who come to me and have me call him as a matter of fact, they talk to him as much and maybe more than I do. . What chain of command is there anymore. No one wants to make a decision, nothing gets done . The reason the company will go down is because of people like you who do not want to get along and work together. At least I am willing to put my initials on this email so that you DO know who I am. Anonymous...what a cop out!

Cuts Cuts Cuts That's all you hear... How can we the employees take pride in our jobs, How can we take pride in in the product when we don't know from day to day if we are going to have a job? Moral is Down, Tempers are getting HOT. But yet managment says they don't know what going to happen next. Managment needs to lean how to comunicate with their empolyees. Rumours and hear say just doesent cut it anymore......... This has been a problem for years. Comunication with your people is the key to a good business. That is why people don't give a shit! WILL WE SURVIVE IN 05? We sure as hell didn't soar on 04

Mr Alvarez, Seems to be a common problem that the people that who took these newly created jobs just before BK don't have the slightest idea what they are doing. These people now just sit around knowing that they will be cut sooner or later. Do these people a favor and cut these bottom feeders loose.

to lenexa-- you are right the DP from Davenport is the woman who bugs the man. She has no respect from anyone because she can't quit going to him, she needs to break the yolk, ya know break the bulb, doher job and work with her team, maybe that is why this bakery is in so much trouble because everyone works against eachother and not with eachother. Backstabbing, 2 faced managers who talk about thier employees instead of two thier employees. she is the worst and none of us can stand. it'd be nice to see her go.....

To Charlie Lover: ARe you the employee in the office that cals Mr. Smith all the time, going to him for your bakery problems and not your own department heads? That would explain, lady get a grip he is not there anymore use the chain of command and maybe your management team will have a little respect for you. He is not ther anymore so why do you always call him? dun;t say it is because noone knows nuttin, because how would you know wen you bug the man every day about problems he has no control over? lady he won't be able to save your job when we go down... and we are going down, slowly but surely.

To the Charlie Lover in Davenport--Accountable for our Job--lets see... he want's to do it all, he has no faith in his employees he thinks he is god and should be running the whole company. Maybe he wouldn't have so many gray hairs if he would just do his job and only his job. He won't even give anybody a chance to do thier job, all he wants to do is yell, yell, yell, from the sounds of it we would take Mike Connell and at least he knows nothing and lets him employees earn the wages that he's supposed to. Take Charlie, we would love it

Hey Lenexa, we at Davenport would take Charlie back in a heart beat. You have no idea how lucky you are to have him. Everything has really gone down hill here since he has left. What did he do to make you mad.....make you actually be accountable for your job? You should be greatful that he cares!

Comment: everyone needs to take a step back and realize that this job is not the only part of your life. take a moment to enjoy family ,friends, fun!! you could be fighting a war right now be grateful that you have a job and a pay check every week some people don't !!! maybe if you got a personal life ( had a drink made, some lovin') work wouldn't be so miserable. IT'S VERY APARENT THAT THIS PERSON DOES NOT WORK FOR IBC. THE WAY THIS COMPANY TREATS IT'S EMPLOYEES WHO HAS TIME TO ENJOY HAVING FRIENDS, FAMILY OR FUN!! I'M ONE OF THE LUCKY ONES WHO JUST GOT LAID OFF. AT LEAST I'M NOT WAITING AROUND FOR THE SHOE TO FALL ANYMORE. I'VE GOT UNEMPLOYMENT NOW HOT DAMN.TAKE A STEP BACK AND RELAX...NOT POSSIBLE WITH THIS COMPANY. I WORKED 4 YEARS WITH IBC FOR ALL FOUR YEARS I WAS OUT OF TOWN ON MY B'DAY, MY HUSBANDS B'DAY, OUR ANIVERSERY AND MY DAUTHERS 18TH B'DAY. YOU CAN'T ENJOY FAMILY AND FRIENDS WORKING FOR THIS COMPANY. IBC THINKS IT IS YOUR LIFE AND IT FORCES YOU TO GIVE UP ANYTHING ELSE. I HAVE NOTHING BUT SYMPATHY FOR ANYONE ELSE WORKING FOR IBC. ALOT OF YOU ALL ARE GOOD PEOPLE WHO DESERVE BETTER. DON'T GET TO COMFORTABLE...ALOT MORE CUTS TO COME. PLANS HAVE ALREADY BEEN WORKED OUT TO CUT ROUTES. AND WHEN I SAY PLANS I MEAN PLANS ! IBC WILL BE GOING TO ALL THE UNIONS ASKING FOR CONSSIONS AND THOWING DOWN THE PLANS SAYING IF YOU DON'T GIVE US THIS AND THAT THIS IS WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO. I KNOW THIS FOR A FACT. IT'S BEEN WORKED OUT ALREADY AND IN WRITING. I'M IN A POSTION ...OR SHOULD I SAY I WAS IN A POSTION TO KNOW. THRIFT STORE EMPLOYEES BEWARE...ALL STORES TO BE CLOSED BY JUNE. TAKE THAT ONE TO THE BANK. AGAIN SORRY LADIES...SOME OF YOU DESERVE BETTER...OTHERS...SCREW YOU. GOOD LUCK IBC EMPLOYEES.

  Comment: How much longer is it going to take IBC before they start to begin the change in the way they have done business in the past? Based upon how much upper management is now being paid (a lot more than pre-BK!), I would say, never! IBC has now become a giant game of shills. They now move the pieces around to suit their specific needs! It is now costing them far more money to produce product and to get it to market than their competitors pay. How long they have left to play this hoax depends on how much money they have to spend without having to account for it! It will either emerge weighing a whole lot less or be piece-mealed out. My bet is on the latter! Too many losers in their hand this time and consumer demands run against them.

The only way to obtain reform is to contact the news media and expose any corruption you as employees are aware of. Only then will the people responsible be judged and ousted from the system and only then will the company improve and hopefully survive.

  Comment: "Name: Ms. Transports Location:Jamaica, NY Comment: Spudly, driving transport in Jamaica is worse than LA- drivers with all the survival instincts of a lemming, low bridges, graffitied over traffic signs, etc. Jamaica was supposed to be replaced by East Brunswick three decades ago- East Brunswick is a half century newer and has lots of space, etc.. and it's in a decent neighborhood. But IBC wanted to liquidate assets to make the company look profitable so they closed East Brunswick instead..." The "Charter Oak" Depot (Wonder/Hostess) in Glendora California looks like two smaller versions of the old Lanendorf Depot across the street from the Hostess bakery in South Central. Since they booted the routes out of Pomona and who knows where else it is over crowded, there's a bunch of route trucks outside and many more shoe-horned inside, the thing is that it sits on a giant parcel of land which the depot and store only occupy about 1/4 of. It is on a main street, and has easy access to two freeways. (good for both the transports and the routes) Instead of rebuilding on what would accomodate a good number of routes, the comany apparently sold this property and is now leasing it and looking for another location to accomodate all the routes that come out of there. What Ms. Transports posted pretty much explains why.

Also - drop off those returns at mom-n-pop bodegas (for cash) before you get back to the barn! Who'll know? ;-) It's all about the dough....

I can not believe quality control overlooked that before packaging. I doubt I will ever be able to purchase another. Just wanted you to know. I have been a faithful purchaser of those pies everyday for almost 4 years. They have served as my breakfast along with your hostess cupcakes.

  Comment: I was wondering if you were the company that is in charge of the Hostess Thrift Store located in Freeport Illinois. If so, I have a complaint to file about 2 of the employees working there. Today I was in the store this morning and my son started screaming while I was on my way to the register. There were a few other customers in front of me so I was trying to calm him...to no avail. The two ladies behind the counter were making snide remarks about my son and talking in raised voices to him. I removed him from the store. My sister was behind me and made my purchases for me. While she was in line, the comments continued about my son. How embarrassing enough was that for me , but to have these ladies continue on about my son and myself. What kind of customer service is that? I called the store when I returned home and tried to talk to them about the situation. Not one of them offered to help in anyway, but just continued with their comments. I cannot believe the disrespectful way I was treated. I will never return to this store again. I asked to speak with a manager and the lady on the phone said she was a manager. This behavior is not tolerable. I am able to stand up for myself, but I feel sorry for anyone else who has to go through this kind of treatment. I do hope that you can help with this situation.

To Ding Dong of Henderson, You said in your last post that you like Latinas? Have you ever seen a good looking older latina? All good looking young latinas get to be real fat, ugly and short older latinas. If you ever get to see Mike Eller's little latina wifey you'll know what I mean! UUUUhhggly! Right down to the bone! It may explain why Eller always seems to be very unhappy. You're better sticking to your blow-up doll.

to the dog laying cake on its side may have been your way junior, but my route was done the right way. i sold cake. As for you laughing, it is probably because you sucked and eat bullshit. And to the guy who knows bella bella he was nuts, but when the computers came he cried and faked stress bullshit to get out of the bronx.. He may be the twinkie king but how many did he really sell for the company.Ask the guys who left when the computers came. Hey dog you will never know who this is because the guys i knew were born salesman. Since your the "dog" stick to licking your " balls" cause you couldnt sell cake.

Get out and talk to the people actually doing the work. I think you will be surprised. We have some real losers that were put in positions just before BK. Take a look at all those positions that were created prior to BK. If you cannot see whats happened then we are doomed.

  Comment: How does something like IBC and the Teamsters turn rotten so fast? It's all about power and money, Dudes! They want you and I to be everyday law abiding citizens leaving them to rob us blind in broad daylight. Their plan is quite simple. They become employers and labor unions and use their positions to extort and to control the working classes in America and elsewhere.They create collective trust accounts of retirement funds from employees like you and I, which they control between them as officers and pay themselves hugh fees for their management of these and other funds in order to enrich themselves several times over. Nothing like getting paid hundreds of thousands of dollars without having a notable level of formal education! Then together, they use our laws against us should we try to rebel and protest. Having this web site available prevents Consumers and Employees from having to swallow the bullshit IBC and the Teamsters are trying to shove down our throats. Knowing the truth, is the beginning step in setting ourselves free and starts the long journey which will take us all to the promised land!

I do not work for IBC, but if 25% of this message board is correct your place of work is unreal? suggestion for those who need help: discrimination or any other unfair labor practices go too your local e.e.o.c. office, for plant and vehicle practices that are in your opinion risky or unsafe in the workplace notify o.s.h.a. and finally if you know of any insider trading talks or upper management tampering with the books notify securities and exchance commission. they all can be brought up on the web site "go to google" or they are listed in the phone directory. if you as employees don't rid yourself of the scums you will never come out of chapter 11. believe me your company has hundreds of claims and lawsuits either filed or being investagated as you read this.

Listen people. The company is offering you the chance to talk this out. IBC will pay for three free visits to see if your head is screwed on correctly or is this just a dream? Call 1-800-367-7579 to use this free service. This program is free to you but will cost IBC plenty, counseling does not come cheap.

Has anyone seen a company newsletter or any memos from Mr Alverez lately? It seems that each division is doing what ever they want to do. Am I wrong, is it possible that good routesalesmen are being punished because they are under one label and thier bosses are under another label. The division I am in is encountering more load errors than before, new stops are being created and we are runing out of room in the trucks to operate safely. To make matters worse now the transports do not have to pick up all the empties and can just drop off the racks and block the trucks in or prevent them from pulling in the depot if they deliver while we are out on our routes. Yes I think some changes needed to made at the top and in the plants but maybe now they (Alverez) should be looking at Division and route structures. IF THIS IS GOING TO BE DONE RIGHT NEAUTRAL UNBIASED PEOPLE MUST BE BROUGHT IN. Do not have local people inspect themselves and do not tell them someone is coming to talk to thier drivers. If IBC creates a solid base of good drivers with mangement that has integrity and respect then it will move up and grow. If they continue to concentrate only on the top then the tree will die because of no roots at its base

He said that he does not want to lose his job over the IBC mess. He said that if I blow him one more time he will get me a job at the docks hauling sea containers. it was not that bad, I kinda liked it. Meet me in the mens room in Tuesdays and I can tell you more. I will give you Hectors private line so you too can blow him.

  Comment: -Notice-To all IBC route and transport drivers! With respect to your employers need for you to drive faster in order to whatever you need to know that Domino's Pizza had a corporate policy where they guaranteed your order would be delivered to your address in no more that 30 minutes from time of order or it was free! This had the affect of driving up their bottom line until one day an innocent person was killed by a Domino's Deliver Driver. A lawsuit soon followed and the jury returned a multi-million dollar verdict against Domino's. If you drive for a living, then protect your job by protecting your drivers license. IBC currently has a policy whereby if your drivers license ceases to exist at IBC, then so do you.

Ok, SO,CAL I warned you before and you didn?t listen because you had enough time in where it wouldn?t effect you. Well you old time shitheads this time it will. Combination routes combined with route cuts. There plan is to give you 12 TO 14 hrs worth of work everyday and to ride your ass to get you to do it in less time. Do you old timers feel up to it? Ok here is the deal. After they screw all this up fifty times and you get settled in with your new routes here?s what you do. After 8 hrs plus your lunch you drop what your doing and you come in . This they can do nothing about and will soon give you manageable routes. Stop letting it be more work for the route man is the answer for every thing. Show some fucking balls for a change. Contact the labor board or your union rep if you have further questions. If you are in local 63 remember Hector is on the payroll of I.B.C. So contact a out side local for info. Don?t believe a word out of his mouth. Do you see now why they paid Hector to rush the extintion by you idiots. It effects you all . Act like it for a change.

The only way out is to expose the evil greedy people that got us into this mess. Contact the news media and tell them anything you may know about corruption and illegal activities within the system. The news media likes storys like this and will expose them to our government leaders for what they are. In turn they will be ousted from their seats of power. Call the news media. Report to the government agencys any corruption you may know of. Help save out jobs.

I would like to say that merita does not care about there employee's. I have worked there for 5 years and never once have anyone expressed any thanks for the hard work I put in every day. We work on a average of about 12 hours daily if we are lucky to finish that early. People like Adam don't give a rats ass about no one exept his self. personally I think the company sould close it's doors. And finally if merita had some real management the company wouldn't be in the position it is in now.

  Comment: To: IBC A great many of your production and transportation employee's want two consecutive days off in each work week. What say you? The above statement and question seems simple enough. It only becomes difficult when one attempts to implement a policy of "two consecutive days off for all employee's" while certain IBC departments are running every day. Throw in holidays, sick leave and vacations to get the full effect and one starts to see just how difficult such a policy would become. And where you would have employees normally working at straight time you would now have more employees working at overtime up to six straight days and double time on the seventh. IBC is a national corporation with operations throughout several states of the United States. Each state and the United States have their own set of books on labor laws, which employers and employees need to comply with. Now throw in the products IBC manufactures and distributes are perishable items with a life span of only several days to really make it interesting.

  Comment: Day by day, step by step, I find myself ever deeper into debt! There are just too many places for me to spend my money and too little left in order for me to save any substantial amount. What little I have managed to save over the last thirty years is not going to be nearly enough to sustain me in my old age and unable to work another day in my life. I had a retirement and a social security account which I or my employer paid into however my employer (IBC) filed for bankruptcy and I could lose my retirement because of this. My government is now telling me that my social security account may collapse as well. They point to the ability of people to live longer today as the cause of it. At this point, I really don't know what is going to happen to me. I wonder what others have done before me when faced with this exact crises. How can my retirement and social security money just sort of disappear overnight, if you will? Where do all these huge collective accounts of monies go? Where are the profit and loss sheets for these programs? Are we forced to take someone's word for them or can we actually view the records ourselves? I think not!

  Comment: Moral. I know for a fact that tractor trailer mechanics in Phila do not get two days off in a row. How can this be possible? How can they plan outings with their kids? How can they have a good life when they can't rest and relax from the stess of a job? Is they whole company run this way? Do the drivers get two days of in a row? How about you big wigs? How would you like to have Tuesday and Sunday off? Would your wife or husband like that? I can see the fur flying now in your home. Why does the bread need to be delivered on Christmas Eve, July 4th, Easter Sunday etc? Talk about causing employees stress. That really sucks. Who set up these rules? It's time to change this rule. I pity the people who work for you. they sure have had to put up with alot of garbage. It's time make changes for the better.

  Comment: Come on Corporate. Take note of what your employees are saying. You have a major morale problem here. Your company is in bankruptcy for many reasons. A postive step up the ladder out of bankruptcy for the new company should be employee morale. It doesn't have to cost anything. How about a tasteful joke of the day to start off their mornings. It's a step, a baby step. It could only help. CORPRATE, take note of what employees are saying and do something about it everyday.

Lee Shue is an asshole! For all those who are not aware. A good manager would have asked questions first before trash talking an employee down. To find if is wife or girlfriend had a liginament and good reason for interupting work production. WELL, WATER PIPES HAD FROZEN AT HOME, she was calling the only person who could answer her qusteions and give her direction. Wouldn't you want your daughter who had a newborn at home to call you at work to let you know? Management training is recommended for Lee Shue. A great company starts from the bottom up. Good moral gets more done than downing workers.

Funny how Idiot comes out of this. Why not go and find the brown noser that hangs around with management all the time, that worked well too for them seems that no matter how much of a buddy you are to them they promise stuff and then slap you in the face. Your not telling them what needs to happen to make everything right, your whinning and complaining about your vacations, seniority, running to the Union the first sign of they did this and they did that to me, like a giant soap opera and your the one that is still there doing the same thing crying a river to people who really don't care as long as you punch in on time. There is nothing deaf ear about it, they use you until there is nothing left of you. But then how can you complain about this when there are people working there and are watching movies, playing Xbox,playing with each other, and getting paid, I would say if you are one of the persons left over from the last cut, you got it made.

I am ready to put my 2 cents in on this. Now read it carefully. This was bound to happen with IBC, they are hurting and falling fast. They have plans that sometimes just don't include the people who helped get them there, but then at the same time hmmm if they are bankrupt and lay offs are going on then perhaps there is something to be said for the people working there. Think it is time for you people to start making your way to another company, or go back to school. Your quick to make comments about several people IE. Deb. Something to ask yourselves have you done anything to better things? Your fast at the tongue whipping and judging people, yet you sit back and do nothing but complain, nothing you say or do on here will make a difference. You have to be the ones to go off and make a difference, and sadly IBC isn't what you need if your on here complaining. I know a few people from IBC, and frankly the ones I do know are acting like Giant babies, and a fool for thinking you would get your foot in the door faster then anyone else in the plant. You work, and work with promises and then it falls through and you beat up on everyone else except yourself.

  Comment: What say you and I take a hike from IBC over to our next place of employment? Are we in so deep in job seniority, rate-of-pay, health and retirement, sick leave, holiday pay and the like, that we dare not leave until we are thrown out? Is IBC really the last employer on the face of this earth or is IBC only one of many employers today facing bankruptcy and honestly struggling to keep their doors open? I believe, while you and I were busy working, IBC corporate was not! While you and I were busy doing our jobs, IBC corporate was fiddling around in places they should not have been. Now, you and I are being called upon to make a difficult decision in our lives with almost no facts to guide us.

To the team of employees that all were punished because of a few. This is the thinking of the company management. First of all they could care less about your personal problems. There is no company loyality to the workers in their system of stupid discriminating work rules and practices. I have seen this happen time after time with any problem that may arise. With having a union, management claims that everyone must be treated equally so everyone gets punished except if you are a friend of the boss or a relative then you get special privilages and that is the system of things. I have seen so many people that are related to management get hired in and get special treatment that it is sickening. Good luck but i am sure you will not prevail.

They changed all the starting times in the office, because of a couple of people screwing around when there were no supervisors there. They (supervisors) didn't care that we have kids and commitments that we can't change. They punished everyone instead of the ones doing it. Now we just lost a good worker because of this. It this the way to run the company punish the masses because there are a couple of people screwing around. My question to you Mr Bowerman is why weren't these people written up or fired, why do i have to be punished? Answer please

  Comment: When you need to know about something important in your life, you ask questions. When your questions fall on deaf ears, you are left to gather information and form opinions on your own. I started forming my opinions last September. What I put together was this: IBC needs to formulate and to file with the judge, a reorganization plan. IBC admits they do not have a plan in mind at this time. They may not even have one come next September. How can this be? How can a judge sit there and allow IBC to continue with this apparent charade to drag it out for the next two or more years? IBC filed for bankruptcy because their cash was running out faster than they were making it. Now they have reached the speed of light on mounting debts with all these additional expenses for lawyers, outstanding lawsuits, corporate puppets and the like.

It's funny how an employee is to give two weeks notice to quit, but yet they tell their employees...you may be laid off next week. Randy, Jeff - get your head out of your ass and appreciate your workers. It's about time somebody does something - this company is dying a slow painful death.

  Comment: I am a consumer of the Beefsteak Light Soft Rye bread for a while now. I tell my friends and family how delicious and healthy it is. I have a problem that I encountered on my last purchase of a loaf. The UPC code is 4500011570 and the amount I paid was $2.59. After the first 3 slices there seems to have been a malfunction with the slicing part of the assembly line, if that's indeed how it's produced. Anyway, there is a large slit in all of the remaining slices which makes it virtually impossible to make a complete sandwich or toast cheese without it melting through the bread.

  Comment: I recently purchase some crumb donettes from my local grocery store and I was very shocked to find some moldy donettes in the box. I am very fond of your donettes but even though there were only a couple of donettes affected I am not able to eat the box and was forced to through it away. I would hope that there is something that can be done on your end so that this does not happen to anyone else.

  Comment: I used to purchase IBC products every holiday until I discovered they were baking and freezing them months in advance as a way to increase their sales figures. The way I discovered it was the moisture I noticed on the packages was on the inside! It's a physical process called condensation! The product also tasted hard and broke apart easily. It's real difficult to eat a hot dog or hamburger with everything on it except a bun. Try it sometime! IBC took one too many shortcuts and lost most of their loyal customers including myself.

I'm in the process of unplugging my toilet right now because the last bunch of IBC I purchased won't go down. Maybe I misread the directions. I thought they said to put this bunch of shitty stock in the toilet and flush twice to clean it real good before attempting to resell it under a new stock listing.

Talk about stockholders and employees having to die a slow, painful death! By the time this crafty bunch of thieves gets done with bleeding IBC, it will look like bare-bones-leftovers from Thanksgiving dinner. Even an eager and hungry flight of buzzards would do a fly by and keep on going. Extremely lean pickings here.

Yikes! The blood is in the water and the sharks are swarming! U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Venters approved the appointment of both a legal team and an investment firm for the "shareholders" committee. The investment firm will be receiving $100K a MONTH with a possibility of a 1% transaction fee (with $300 mil. in equity that comes out to a $3 mil. bonus) upon completion of re-organization or other undefined certain circumstances. The law firm says they are settling for 75% of their usual fees (not given) until March at which time they are going to ask the court for review. The judge also granted IBC a delay from Jan 22nd to July 19th to file their plan of re-organization. An attorney for Interstate says they will most likely ask for an extension until September. These fees are to be paid by IBC!!! That's you and me brothers and sisters! Between the bankruptcy firm and the stockholders' investment firm we're pissing away over $300K a month! For the next 6 months that comes out to $1.8 mil. not counting their "bonuses" and salaries for their appointed officers or what our legal team and the shareholders legal firm will receive. Plus those products! Somebody has got to make THEIR money for them! And they wonder why we grunts are bitter and have low morale?

How have you survived life being that STUPID? Why is it possible to purchase a package of Hostess Cup Cakes (Chocolate) from a vending machine on Jan 18, 2005 that has a "Last Sale Date" of 12 Feb 2001!

  Comment:
A Rich Aroma from the Twinkies Shop *******In June 19, 2000******* Following Unilever's agreement to buy Bestfoods for $24.3 billion, the rush is on to pick the next acquisition target in foods. That has attracted heavy buying in Interstate Bakeries (IBC), trading at 15 a share. ''It is one of the cheapest stocks in foods--based on its brand products and potential as a takeover target,'' says one New York money manager, who has been accumulating shares. Interstate, once one of the darlings of Wall Street, is the largest wholesale baker in the U.S., supplying baked goods to supermarkets and convenience stores. Its brands include Wonder bread, as well as Hostess and Dolly Madison cakes. Recent buzz that big food companies, including Unilever, are eyeballing Interstate prompted Interstate to adopt a poison pill. Interstate insists it doesn't aim to block a takeover--but wants any suitor to negotiate with the board first. Value investor Mark Boyar, who describes Interstate as an attractive target, says the stock is worth 33 in a buyout. ''It is selling at a substantial discount to its peer group and the food industry as a whole,'' says Boyar. He argues that even without a buyout, the market will ultimately reward IBC with a higher price-earnings ratio. In two years, says Boyar, who has accumulated shares, the stock will climb to 35.

to Deena from Hodgkins Get your information straight before you open your dirty, uneducated mouth. Matt was not fired, he went to ComEd. As far as the sexual harrassment case against Franisco, it was your word against his. No one saw anything. The way I heard it was you were after him and when he turned you down. Well, you know the saying, a woman scorned. And as far as your car accident, well if you were in one and got fired get a lawyer, but you always were calling off that's why you got fired.

When I started it, there was a brake light out, so I had to wait for a tow truck to come out and fix the light, Safety is important! but what is most important is that UNION WAGE!!!

Many just walk around and talk to the girls on the lines or sit in the lunch rooms smoking and talking for great lengths of time. Some sit at their computers trying to look busy. It is a shame.

  Comment: This was the closest website I could find to email someone about my disatisfaction with the la cocina de tortilla's I purchased last week. One of my families favorite meals is fajitas which I make at least 1-2 times per month. I was very unhappy with using your low fat soft flour tortillas which would NOT come apart and therefore had many thin spots and many holes which will not hold the filling inside the tortilla. Because of how difficult it made for eating the meal I had prepared I was determined to let you know and tell you I will not purchase your product again and will go to another brand.

I just want to say Hello to all of my old fellow workers at Hodgkins. I hear that Matt was fired. Thank god!!!! He was so dumb. I tried to get my job back, but Matt never returned my calls either. The Union isn't much to speak for either. Even though there is alot of bull shit at the plant, the people at Hodgkins are cool as hell. I miss you all and maybe someday I can work with my crew again. I really enjoyed my job, but due to a car accident somehow on FMLA I was fired? EXPLAIN that one. Thank you MR MATTHEW for fucking me out of my job and the sexual harrassment case on Fransisco. I see he is still employed at Inerstate. Face it Matt, you lost all that money on the arbetration between me and Francisco, so you found away to get rid of me. An employee who busted her ass for your company. Your loss..not mine. I regret working a 24 hour day for your sorry ass. What goes around comes around. Now you are jobless. Well..enough said. Take care Hodgkins Plant. I hope you guys get a H.R. with more brains. Good luck and talk to y'all later.

To Whom it May Concern: I have a question about your Home Pride Country 100% Whole Wheat bread. I have noticed that the bread is often damp, and we have to toast it before eating, and it is too soggy to make sandwiches out of. I might understand this if it were summer weather (hot and humid), but it's hard to see why it is this way in the middle of January. Do you have any ideas as to why this is happening?

  Comment: The post below on HR functions has to be authored by Walt Disney and his cast of made-up characters. It fails to come close to the truth when it mentions HR departments and functions they are created to serve. In today's world of the unemployed, you only need to make one phone call to your local EDD offices in order to file for your out-of-work benefits. Years earlier, you actually had to go down there and stand in line for hours to do the same thing. The EDD in California had a habit of addressing and treating the unemployed as cattle. You would line-up at each of several windows in order to transact whatever business you had to do. The place was filled with EDD workers doing their jobs. Their main job was to see that you did not get your money! The only thing you received from the EDD was a bad time. Years later, Employers incorporated the likes of EDD into their business plan. They called this new department, Human Resources. And yes, they are still there to see that you do not get your money or anything else you may need in the process. They are hired guns bought and paid for by your employer to outdraw and if necessary to legally shoot you dead when necessary!

  Comment: In case you missed it Krispy Kreme is back in the news. Their head guy (Mr. Livengood) was forced to step down. Apparently, he had been living too good for the rest of the KK bunch. And like IBC, KK now has hired and installed as corporate officers, a turnaround and consulting firm to assist them in a coverup and corporate funeral plan. It just never seems to end, does it?

HR Department- Is a buffer between employer and employees. HR department is responsible to make company run smooth with good communication between employer and employees. This means that the HR department is a impartial department. This does not mean another way for employers to minipulate the system to where they destroy the attitude and competent work force. HR department is not for harassing the employees to ware there is nobody cares about their work. Thats what makes employees there for paycheck but care little about their performance.

My dear fellow employees, Can't we all just get along? Please, stop bashing our PC managers. They are there for a reason, they earned the positions they are in. They are very knowlegeable and hard working and given the opportunity, I am sure they will get us out of the mess we are currently in. Any coments?
