When will the new route postings be complete? Like to know if I should start l@@king now!!

Must be nice to beable to stop at home, while on companies time, early in the morning, on a Tuesday, first day back after the weekend, and this is a route they took away a major chain account, because the driver was having time problems with deliveries. While, there are other routes busting their butts,trying to make their time stops, while this routeman is cruising. Time to retire, but why should you.

i need help----i need a loan .

The same day we got our 60 day closing W.A.R.N. act notice IBC hired guards who are here 24 hours a day 7 days a week. The guards have been seen walking our infamous Krusty Chest to and from her car. I WONDER if the guards are protecting us from her. Did the other bakeries that closed hire guards?

Where the f&*k is Elmsford,ny. I can go there or get laid off. what a joke

Bob, wow....I know that must have been hard with the amount of seniority you had....They did give you any severence pay of anything correct? It would seem that an 18,000 route would be almost impossible to run...that is really a big route...I am assuming that is with the COMBO type route with the Dolly products aboard as well. Sorry man...I know it must be tough...but hopefully better things await your future...I am not sure really at this point where this company is going...not up anytime soon....management just seems to have made too many mistakes. Good Luck!!

i.b.c. is history. if people continue to quit at the present rate, there will be no one left by the end of the first quarter. only the suckups like nightshade.

Hilco is going to have a year end fire sale,IBC real estate is history!

NEW BEDFORD, what state is that in? Also...are you saying that they gave 18,000 routes to (2) Route Drivers...how was that determined with you being Union? Was it determined by Seniority alone? Was any notice given to you before you were layed off?? Just curious how they are doing things....

To Razz: Roberta Flack would be impressed.

I heard he sang a good song I heard he had a style And so I came to see him To listen for a while And there he was this corporate philanthropist A stranger to our eyes Strumming my bread with his fingers Singing my life with his words Killing me softly with his cuts Killing me softly with his cuts Telling my whole life with his words Killing me softly with his song

Some day Smith and those at the Gerneral Office will get what they truely deserve. We all know they are dancing with the Devil. How else do explain that sawed off little runt running our PC and pissing everyone off in the plants. I had to laugh when someone called for open (hunting) season on Smiths - Just need to expand it a little to include a few more bad breeds located in Kansas City - General Office.

Damm Straight - just look at the employee roster - Morgan's Kid works here at the general office. Anyone remember Frank Coffey (Ex CFO) - well his Son works here as well. Kafoure's son-in-law was the Retail Sales Manager in Emporia and left suddenly before he was to be investigated for STEALING. The list is very long on who is related to who in this stupid Company.

mr kansas. KISS MY ASS

Well Said Springfield - At least someone else has seen the real Charlie Smith. He was a crook when he worked here along with Larry Worley. Now these two crooks are running PC's. Someone at GO is protecting these idiots or they have something very bad on someone at GO that has to protect them (maybe Bob Morgan) who is a snake in the grass as well. But we all know nothing will happen because the good old boy network runs this company.

When are you all going to learn that no one at the General Office cares about the field. They will do what ever it takes to make their bonuses and unfortunately yes these checks are normally higher than most of our salaries - just look at the inventive plan documents (even though it was to be stop after the bankruptcy) - Tony just changed who got what and cut alot of us out that are located in the field. Am I mad about it YES, but can I control it - NO. Alot of these people are working excessive hours - not all and some are just skating by and getting the big fat check. For one is Smith - glad to see his check is held up - but will he get it - yes, because he will screw the people in the field once again. Less route sales, less production crews, less maintenance, satination. Means more money for to pay for Smith's check. What really pisses me off about this bonus thing is that Smith actually still gets one - since he has done nothing to generate any postives within this PC - he has only decreased the attitudes of everyone who works within this PC. That is why the majority of the people have left this PC. We have lost good employees, supervisors, management personnel because of his lack of intelligence and his constent child like attitude (yelling and screaming until he gets his way). Hell I use to spank my kids when they acted like that, but hell he is the VP of the PC and people just accept it or ignore it and work around him. Charlie Smith is one major dumb screw up. He is a crook and will steal anything he can (order it through the Company, have the Company pay for it and then take it home - i.e. Computer Equipment, Clothes, Tools). Charlie Smith has always operated under the motto "Lie Cheat Steal to get what you want". Tony A - if you truely read this (or your boys) - then investigate Mr. Charles Smith, VP of the SC PC, and you will see alot of money being wasted and taken out of the Company's bottom line - ultimately the Stock Holders (which I am one) are losing out. If the Courts every see the money/property he has taken they could file Fraud Charges Against him and put his ass in Jail.

You all better watch out Tracy is really pissed off about this Janel thing. Her she is busting her butt getting these stores closed for Lee and now she hears that he playing again on the side. More stores to close in this market as well. If it is up to Charlie Smith we will not have any stores around - he hates RETAIL and has told Mel Ghering to shut them down asap.

You forgot a zero you ass and you better up the amount. My bonus for the year is equal to your salary for the next several years. Damm it is good to be at the Corp Office and not have to deal with scum like yourself.

Wow!!! a $3000. bonus, you must be a good suck ass. Jobs for competent people, that rules out a lot of the My Bread crew.

I recieved my severence within four weeks, of course management had to wait almost four months

By the way with this bonus check, which is approximately 15% of my annual salary - we will be having a nice vacation in the islands. Warm beaches, cold brews and tanned women everywhere, what else could a man ask for.

We just never stated when you would actually receive the check - plus don't forget Uncle Sam takes a huge chunck out for taxes. Now just shut the hell up and clean up the damm bakery so that we can sell it to Budweiser. Damm we are glad we are pulling out that PNW Area, what a waste of time and money.

Whats that smell?

To Kansas City: The only way were not get our severance pay is if the company goes chapter 7. In that case your out of a job to you moron!

Lakewood, WA I would not hold your breath for the severance checks. We never said you would actually get one, sucker.

Transport Tom: Goes to show you CLEARLY that when a Company is ran with INTEGRITY, taking the time to put EMPLOYEES First, training, benefit, and payscale wise, geographical location, attention to detail, GOOD QUALITY UPPER MANAGEMENT....EQUALS a VERY SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS. There is a way to run a business..there alwasy has been...if you run a company on "secular" principles...it is built on a "faulty" foundation and will fall...FLOWERS was built on a SOLID FOUNDATION with principles that have been in force for literally thousands of years...it wouldn't be hard to find out where FLOWERS got it's principles....look in the BIBLE....for those of you whom this offends, I am sorry...but BIBLICAL PRINCIPLES ALWAYS WORK....need I say more.

The last one to retire from engineering in Glendale work two hours and was told he could leave for the rest of the day and get paid for it was not pair even for the two houres he worked.

Hey transport Tom, that story sounds like the Lakewood bakery and look at us now.

Would some of you who worked at the closed bakeries please tell us how long after the closure you received your severance checks. Thank you.

Attn. IBC big shots here is how to run a bakery, a little lengthy but worth reading. Maybe you could learn something although I would not bet on it.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In September 2003, George E. Deese, president and c.e.o., Flowers Foods, Inc., Thomasville, GA, pledged to open a new baking plant every 18 months for the next three to five years, saying at the time that the added capacity will facilitate expansion of Flowers? direct-store-delivery territory. He estimated that during the next three to five years, the company would reach an additional 35 to 45 million consumers through geographic expansion. The opening of the well-designed and technically advanced Denton, TX, plant more than demonstrates the company?s promise and is the latest step in Flowers Foods? long-term Texas strategy. "This plant takes all the technology garnered at other Flowers? facilities, and leap frogs to the next generation of automation while still maintaining a level of art that is inherent to baking quality products," said Keith Wheeler, president of Flowers Baking Co. of Denton, LLC. "It was also a true demonstration of excellence by the whole Flowers team to convert this existing structure that housed a satellite dish manufacturer into a producing bakery in only 30 weeks." The cavernous building just ached to be a bakery, according to Mr. Wheeler. "You could almost smell the bread baking when you walked into the empty building," he said. "It offered an ideal layout with three long production bays. It was big and open with high ceilings, heavy infrastructure and widely spaced columns." The plant is also situated in great geographic proximity to the Dallas/Ft. Worth market as well as southern Oklahoma, Mr. Wheeler said. "We needed Denton due to a combination of capacity needs plus distribution expansion into North Texas and Oklahoma." COMPLETE ARTICLE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Texas has three large population pockets, according to Mr. Wheeler, "Houston, San Antonio, DFW, and you can add in El Paso as well. DFW has 5 million people in the metro area. We had access to products, mainly through our Tyler, TX, facility, but not a ?fresh? presence. Here, we are 30 miles from DFW versus 80 miles for the Tyler plant. The company is committed to putting pans where the people are, and this plant gives us much needed added capacity in the state of Texas." Flowers products originally came to the Dallas area thanks to a retail customer, according to Mr. Wheeler. "We put on merchandisers to supply the customer and in 1996 added bread routes to serve other customers. We?ve grown rapidly ever since." The city of Denton was helpful in expediting the purchase. "They helped speed start-up time," Mr. Wheeler cited. "The timing of the plant acquisition was also unique. Gary Davis, our regional vice-president, had feelers out seeking a North Texas location. We got an excited call on a Friday about a ?must see? building. Executives from Thomasville viewed it the very next Monday and made a bid within days." Flowers worked closely with the city and county, according to Robert Benton, corporate vice-president, manufacturing. "The state, through the Texas Workforce Commission, provided us with the funds to train technicians and supervisors on the operations of a high-tech bakery, covering electronic, mechanical, food safety and other areas." The purchase included the building situated on 90 acres, of which Flowers has sold off 30 since acquiring the site. "It is almost a campus-like setting with very attractive surroundings and building facade," Mr. Wheeler added, "which is great for visitors as well as employees. We also have plenty of room both inside and outside for expansion when needed." The plant currently uses only two of the three bays for production. In an interview last month, Michael Beaty, senior vice-president, supply chain, Flowers Foods, noted, "The Denton facility was a perfect find for the company. It was well-designed for a bakery. To accommodate our specific needs, we not only renovated the existing structure but added on significant square footage. Although Mr. Beaty and Mr. Benton planned on joining Baking & Snack during its visit at Denton, priorities of business and hurricane aftermath required both gentlemen to be in Houston where they were busy helping reopen a shuttered bakery Flowers purchased from Sara Lee several years ago. That plant will run a single bread line temporarily to help make up lost production capability of its New Orleans facility. PEOPLE AND PROGRESS. The plant?s management team is headed by Mr. Wheeler, along with Rick Williams, director of operations and Lee Boyer, manufacturing manager. Management?s philosophy toward leadership runs parallel to the company?s corporate culture ? uncover the potential in people and then do everything possible to help them achieve that potential. Mr. Wheeler was pre

The only thing worse than pay cuts is bonuses in your face ,you lowly scum workers how much is enough,How they can pay these supervisors 15 weeks sick pay when they all abuse this and use it like a vacation.Now you want us to work for less better have them trailers,trucks ,D.O.T. ready that meens everything working.Got that Rogas !This joint needs a house cleaning starting at the top .

Bonus checks will be in the mail for General Office Management by December 16th, just in time for that Holdiay Travel. Payroll is generating the checks now. For the PC Management - your checks are being held to see if you meet the deadlines on cutting routes and support staff. If you succeed, then the checks will be sent out on December 30th. Happy New Year to those who have survived the last round of cuts by Alvarez & Marsal you have worked hard this year to make the stated goal. We will bust the damm union's yet. Teamsters have already rolled over. BC&TGM is about to roll over and play dead as well, they are afraid of the courts.

If you fire Janiel Summers , then who will Lee Handley play with when he is checking those remaining stores. I have to give ole Lee credit - Janiel is one fine piece of ass. Hell I would do her as well. You go Lee. Just have your fun and leave our stores alone.

Well the time is almost here, I've pretty muched mopped the floor with each and everyone of you. Vactions have been eliminated for a year, most of you have taken pay cuts or about to. Don't look for next years negotiations to start either. Management there's no need to look for next year's insurance options. I know this Christmas will be a happy one for me, another company down the drain, but I got mine! Happy Holidays All!

To All: Guess what? Ibc shoved the wooden one to there supervisors once again. In Philadelphia the supervisors are getting raped once again...There vacations have been stolen! It's a good thing that we have a lawyers,Because corperate has felons working for them.They treat there first line supervisors like shit! Bill Hagen and Stanley Think that supervisors are not to enjoy there outside life.When Bill was asked about the supervisors vacations being taken away he responded to a supervisor with a non-leadership attitude and said " just swallow it up."He really made the supervisor feel like crap.He talks to his supervisors like shit, and does not give them any authority what so ever..He does not give lower management support he hides everything...Doesn't corperate see that he cooks the books ? Come on,There that dumb!

niteshade, i agree with you. all it takes is one stupid remark. that guy should get out of the bread buisness all together.

I know there's something going on I know it won't be long Won't be long before we're gone There's something going on There's something going on I know a good thing Must come to an end But it's hard to take Loosing a friend I know what you think And what's in your mind So, why pretend I know there's something going on I know there's something going on I know it won't be long Won't be long before we're gone There's something going on There's something going on P.S. What that something is , we have no idea.

To Anon in Schiller Park: When I read that post the term "Terroristic Threats" came to mind. I don't know how you meet the criteria, but if someone says "I'm gonna kill you" or "I'm gonna poison you", that would be a criminal offense. We don't have any customers to spare. We can't have some guy......or "guys" as he claims, scaring them into taking it seriously and staying away from IBC products forever. I enjoy making fun of some of the posters on this board and the IBC management, but this kind of stuff is just pathetic. I don't believe for a moment that this guy is capable of anything but maybe someone else does. And maybe that person puts in a few phone calls to try and ID him. Why bring that crap down on yourself when there's plenty of other crap to go around. Here it is bedtime and now I'm all wound up!

So what is the stock price today for IBC??

in order for the tylenol scare guy to have commited a felony, there had to be intent. a statement of that sort without intent is just a statement. a stupid one, though.

KANSAS CITY ? Three of professional racing?s leading women race car drivers ? Danica Patrick, Leilani Munter and Melanie Troxel ? have signed on to become Hostess "Race Divas" under a new sponsorship agreement with Interstate Bakeries Corp. The racing sponsorship program will involve Hostess Twinkies, Cup Cakes and Donettes and feature a range of promotional activities, including special limited edition packaging and displays, which will debut next year, with photos of the three drivers. "Interest in women in professional racing continues to grow, with Danica, Leilani and Melanie serving as excellent ambassadors for the sport," said Kevin Kaul, Hostess marketing manager. "We are pleased to sponsor these outstanding drivers as they pursue their dreams and inspire an even more diverse fan base, and, at the same time, leverage the opportunity to connect the iconic Hostess brand with the enthusiasm surrounding racing and women?s increasing prominence in the sport." COMPLETE ARTICLE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ms. Patrick said she was "thrilled" to have Hostess as a sponsor and to be part of the Hostess Race Divas program. "It?s an exciting opportunity to bring together America?s favorite brand of snack cakes with the country?s favorite spectator sport," Ms. Patrick said. As the 2005 I.R.L. (Indy Racing League) Indy Car Series Rookie of the Year, Ms. Patrick has emerged as an international superstar of racing, further increasing the popularity of the sport. In addition to her fourth place finish at this year?s Indianapolis 500, Ms. Patrick had five other top 10 race finishes in 2005, including a sixth place finish in the Peak Antifreeze Indy 300. She also won the pole starting position at three races during the 2005 season, tying a record for most poles won in a single season. Ms. Munter, who has signed to race for Konica Minolta in the NASCAR Elite Division for the 2006 season, qualified fourth and finished seventh at the Texas Motor Speedway in her first super late model race in 2004. She made her debut in 2003 at the South Boston Speedway, where she placed ninth. In addition to racing in the NASCAR Elite Division, she is a race instructor at Fast Track High Performance Driving School and a special correspondent for NASCAR.com. Ms. Troxel is a two-time National Hot Rod Association (N.H.R.A.) champion and a record holder in the Alcohol Dragster class, in which she placed second for the championship. Most recently, she was the runner up in the 2005 N.H.R.A. Finals in Pamona, Calif. She also has earned the distinction as the fastest female racer in N.H.R.A. history at over 330 miles per hour.

Can anyone tell me what the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission was doing today at the IBC Lakewood offices?

keep 'em guessing.

as a matter of fact, we think this will be our last oficial post. the b.h.b.b.c. is retiring. everyone will post on their own from now on. the b.h.b.b.c. has left the building...

The same guy who wanted employees to piss on the product now threatens a Tylenol-type scare against the company. I'm not a lawyer but I think you've just committed a felony. Will someone who knows who this asshole is tell him to get a grip on himself. easy, nightshade. i don't think that was one of the real b.h.b.b.c. there are a few impostors out there. from the real b.h.b.b.c., that wasn't any one of us...what tylenol scare?

Stock Watcher--- What is the stock price today?

?proceeding to a Chapter 7? Read last weeks press release from IBC and you will find those words on the last page.

T o " William", Yes,bonus this year again for all salary employee's.Not as much as last year I heard about 1/2 percent cut due to the exisiting problems.But still in the 5 to 6 thousand range.So go ahead and book that cruise,have fun and Merry Christmas. Dave

Don't forget Jim Brock's Assistant Janiel Summers , she covers the Dolly stores too. Why have two managers if all the stores are to be gone. Extra 40,000 a year what a waste!

Thank You IBC!! Thank You for closing my Bakery and laying me off. Since leaving IBC I was hired immediatly at a salary much higher than the one I was getting. I have way less responsibilities and regular hours with weekends off. This past Thanksgiving weekend I had Thurs, Fri, Sat, and Sun off. Never would have happened at IBC. After 3 Months I was given a $3,000 raise and now I'm being told to expect a large year end bonus. Why is anyone still working for this bullshit company? Get out now!! There are tons of good jobs out there for competent people. (Philly and Jamaica people, you will have to learn to read a clock BEFORE your next job hunt).

Got a message in the fax machine from our infamous Krusty Chest (HR Dept. Lakewood) regarding our new fucking communistic Wa.St. smoking law. In three weeks, all us laid off drivers will have something SHE CAN PUFF ON!!!!!!

Attention all Dolly Thrift Stores - we are closing only one to remain is the bakery location. North Oak Store, KCMO Closed overnight. Employees reported to work to find the locks changed and the product & shelves removed. Told last check is in the mail - No notice - no severance - no job. Thanks, to those responsible, Lee Handley, Tracy Frogley, Jim Brock, Charlie Smith.

The same guy who wanted employees to piss on the product now threatens a Tylenol-type scare against the company. I'm not a lawyer but I think you've just committed a felony. Will someone who knows who this asshole is tell him to get a grip on himself.

Hey Razz why don't you shut the f up A. You talk out of your ass.

Have a nice Monday.

Yeah, we gotta have a few. In fact we should do it on our lunch break. What are they gonna do, fire us?! :-)

One last drink together sounds like a good idea. Management is not invited. No one likes seeing your fat as* at work. What makes you think we want to party with you.

Was it my imagination, or did Thanksgiving feel more like the Last Supper? Just a thought...

What's the latest on the Fishlowitz case? We heard there was no money available.

To Sherman Route Man...RE: Messages from Bill Eilers....DON'T BELIEVE ANYTHING HE SAYS.

I am a disabled vet. I just returned home from Iraq. During my time in Iraq , I lost my right arm and both legs. I contracted HIV from bad blood, and my wife ran off with my best friend. I still feel sorry for you people..IBC SUCKS!!!!!

Name: Sherman Dolly Route Man Location: Comment: To Bill Eilers: Yes, I have been told that there would not be a position for me after the 19th of December .....sounds like this guy has had you in THE POSITION for a long time now. Come on my show.

To Bill Eilers: Yes, I have been told that there would not be a position for me after the 19th of December...I have no reason to believe otherwise unless someone tells me. I have had not been told that any of the route drivers between Gainesville, or Sherman would be promoted to any sales manager and or depot manager...The math to me was 4 men....3 routes....and like I have stated previously...no one has told me or informed me personally otherwise.

To the Sherman Dolly Routeman: No layoffs are forecasted!! Of course, It seems "scary" and the drama sometimes overcomes us when a company goes through changes. But has anyone actually told you that you are going to be laid off after the 19th? There are 5 people in the Sherman / Gainesville region. One is transferring north, and another is becoming the area manager. That leaves 3 routes - 3 routemen - 1 area manager. Do the math!! You are SAFE!!

To Bill Eilers: I have been told many things..that I do not know what to believe. I knew Gainesville Routes had been cut...and the Sherman/Gainesville Depots' were combined...however there were only 5 ROUTE men for 3 Routes...One route man going South and is pleased about it....So since I was LOW MAN on the route....it didn't take me long to figure out what was going to happen. If I am not going to lose my job....then it would be a good idea for my SALES MANAGER B. D. to let me know what the opportunities, if any, will be...this is the first i have heard about it...therefore still consider myself out of a job when the deadline rolls around in December...like I stated...aboslutely no one has informed me of any more opportunities for employement at the SHERMAN DEPOT area...therefore..I guess, I will believe it...when I see it.

Roto AP: IBC is pleased to annonce the purchase of 2000 new dump trucks for our bread and cake reps. These trucks are a must, since the company insists on breeding new products suck as WONKA cakes. These new company vehicles will be used only when the display product that you get plussed, goes out of date. Since you will need the dump trucks to haul all that stale back.

as a matter of fact, we are going to start a campaign against i.b.c. management that will make the early 80's tylenol scare look like a church carnival. watch...

one of us will be leaving this pile of shit we call a company soon. if all goes well, real soon. there may be a pay cut involved, but what is peace of mind worth? getting your life back? we urge all who are tired of this bullshit company to bolt. and we mean NOW!!! it ain't gonna get no better, not with these garbage bags that are running things now...

iF there are any STATERS MEN out there i would think twice about re-newing anything with WONDER??

GO BIMBO

hell, BIMBO is better than wonder...

I hate fu@@ing walmart but walmart loves fu@@ing me!!!

dsd.....................dont forget 3 strikes and you are out of a job.........even if it walmarts fault.........cause you know that the gutless ibc management will not defend you......

To Elmer Fudd : Yours Truly. Did you miss me?

I.B.C. song of the day: Wasting away again in Ibcyaville. Some people say that it's all Tony to blame , but I know , it's I.B.C.'s own damn fault. Wasting away again in Ibcyaville. Searching for that lost pension fund. Some people say it's all Tony to blame, but I know , its I.B.C.'s own damn fault. Wasting away again in Ibcyaville. Searching for that , lost workman's compensation fund.Some people say it's all Tony to blame, but I know , it's I.B.C.'s own damn fault. Wasting away again in Ibcyaville. Waiting for that quarterly report. Some people say it' all Tony to blame. And you know , they might just be right...............

Wal-Mart DSD Rules: (varies by store - depends on the clerk) One vendor at a time. Wait outside (rain or shine) until your name is called. Be on time for your appointment. You will be refused if you are late, even if we are not ready for you. Have your invoices ready, and your product ready to scan - if our telezon is wireless, we still make you bring your product to US - we will not walk to where YOU are standing. NEVER touch or go within 15 feet of the door. The door will remain locked until we get ready to open it.....even if we decide to go to break while you are waiting for us to unlock it. DO NOT RING THE BELL!! We know when you are outside. You must "Walk around" because you are crap. You are scum. You are our VENDOR.

Cause we sell rolls that are universal....you can use them as rolls or hamburger buns.....

Bill Eilers: This can't be a post from the real Bill Eilers. His pockets are to high to talk to anyone below him in the pecking order much less stoop so low as to post on this site. He suffers from cranial rectal inversion.

To DT : Cinnammon Schnapps with a beer chaser . ( Any kind of beer after the fourth one).

To the Dolly man in Sherman - Your route is not the only one being cut in the Sherman / Gainesville region. They are closing the Gainesville branch and moving the routes to Sherman. With it, one additional route will be eliminated. Sherman will be taking the Wal-Mart private label as well as Wonder bread in Durant, they need a Sales Manager, a vacation relief driver, and a merchandiser. The Sherman branch will be booming again like it did years ago. Stay where you are - you will not be out of a job. Just hang in there!

everyone did so great with Willy, now you get Charlie Brown and then King KOng, hope to haul as much of these as i did of Willie

to ex relief guy.....you want to talk about stale you should come to birmingham not just wonka cakes but thanksgiving rolls that every route was added beceause our drunk and order from the office management said we didnt have enough ordered...besides the rolls we use here look like hamburger buns instead of rolls

To peoria, Ya, they kept blowing off the when question until about a week before it happened when asked they said "Oh, ya, don't bring your trucks next week". I don't know about Bloomington. They are so good to us. You guys losing routes?

Name: Anonymous Location:Glendale, CA Rumor has it SFFB has been sold to the same family that had it before and they are making one hell of deal by getting it for millions less than what they sold it to IBC. ____________________________ Not to great of a deal when there's only about 2% left of of what they sold to IBC. No quality left, no bakeries left, no depots left, no any etc. left.

All drivers in our depot brought back at least 75% returns of Wonka cakes yesterday. All from plus-ups from the prior weeks. Why is the bakery doing this to us??? Why did the company make this choice to ' tie this in' with the DVD release??? Didn't they learn their lesson from last summer's returns from the movie release??? They will continue to make bad choices and decisions that will drive what is left of this company into the ground. WHAT IS NEXT??????

Boy I wish I had a job at IBC. Seems that everyone is so happy and loving toward each other. This has got to be the greatest website I've ever seen. Power to the Twinkie.

Tony passed out Butterball turkeys to everyone in G.O. they were really good,he had a lot left over ,rumor is they were given to Second Harvest.

Yea,....what Peoria said.....STOP STILLIN !

Better yet, lets have some Tequila! Jose Cuervo baby.

Hey Razz, that sounds great! Only if you have a few with me and it's domestic beer! Tired of these fancy foo-foo beers.

to the guy who posted about the sex offenders, are you trying to piss someone off? they don't care...

From the hills, We like stills, We all get drunk on stills.

I said Springfield was SOE I did not say how long ago. You confirmed this Thanks.

Ya, stop stillin.

If I was to still over $500.00 From IBC I would be proscuted,and in prison. The judge should put the gentlemen nine in prison for stilling from us.

Is there going to be any type of get together before the bakery closes so we can all get sh*t faced together?

The King has left the building.

King Geeeee! Where are you? Talk to me baby!

Oh say can you see......... anyone in management that can show any balls. they bitch about how sales are down. they keep screwing with the receipes. Flavor means everything. you wash out the chocolate instead of enhancing it. Add cinnamon. why don't you all taste your product when you are working over the receipes? hmmmm you know blue bunny has tasters. They aren't afraid to say yuck....but here? Speak up. I don't want my kids to eat something that is just fiber with no flavor. I want to taste vanilla in my sponge cake. I want chocalate to burst out from the icing. Raspberry icing that has a tang to it. Get with it people. Quality Control quit just weighing the cakes, really look at the product. Oh yeah, I hear you whining about cost. What does it cost to have a product that TASTE GOOD? Quit sitting on yesterdays laurels and look around you. Cinnamon rolls should taste like cinnamon not just have the look. Add a few more ounces of tast into you product. Then bitch about sales when they go up.

we heard that dan angst is a registered sex offender. so is larry klasen. so is randy vauk...

we quit for tonight. we gotta go to work in the moning...

hey tony, what are you anyway? we know, you're a thief...

okay, alvarez is a hispanic last name. so, just where is tony a. from?

there was a man from nantucket, whose...and tony alvarez was involved...

hey Razz, what is the right price for hog feed? who cares, the company dosen't lose a dime off stale...

Brother Randy - I am going to miss you after 12/16. Never thought we would see the last loaf out of Lakewood. ENJOY RETIREMENT!!!! Good luck to all Lakewood employees in your future endeavors.

I think on Dec.20th , we can all compare our notes on what is really going on.

Hey Niteshade: Sounds like they are a little confused in Peoria. Let's break out the boxing gloves.

post post post post post post post.

Springfield Hostess SOE? We haven't been SOE for about five years genius. The way I said it's gonna be here is the way they ( the company and the union) have told us it's gonna be (cuz they would never lie to us) . Get your shit straight before you acuse me of talking out my ass.

To Nitesahade: I hit five posts in a row. I know that I am bored tonight.

To Anon Peoria: That sounds more like the situation. That other guy seemed to not be "In the know".

Peoria, Before you talk out you ass ,You need to know what your talking about.Bloomington and Springfield were SOE Routes. Peoria Routes are union routes.And Time in the union does count! So does depot time. Take it from a Routeman that is in the know.

News Flash: I.B.C. employees start asking quetions. Management at a loss for words....

Was that a 38 dollar a week wage cut , or increase ? Increase Right ??

I.B.C. song of the day: I'm young , I'm wild and I'm about to be freed. So catch the magic power of the music in me. I've got the music , I've got the music in me!!!

I am more confused as ever on how I.B.C. operates. Let me guess . Oh , the tangled web we weave. When first we practice to deceive. I think every thing should be put on hold until the labor lawyers sort this mess out.I.B.C. purposely confuses everyone until they throw up the white flag.

Here in our neck of the woods seniority is based on time with the company. Wether you are Wonder, butternut, dolly, or hostess. Hostess is non-union, dolly and both breads are union. All new routes, doesn't matter who you were with, wonder and butternut pick their routes based on their time, and hostess and dolly pick their routes by time with the company, union status has no factor. Hostess is however, being forced to join the union. What happens when they run out of routes before they run out route guys? Hmmmm.

Has anyone ever made four straight posts before? I think not!

To bhbbc: Someone will buy them at the right price.

pHIL, ARE YOU HIGH???

I would add to the reply to Jean that the practice of freezing any fresh product is strictly the decision of upper management. It is not done on a regular basis and should actually never be done. It's better to be out of product and lose a customer one time than to sell them inferior product and lose them forever. That's Business 101, but I'm not sure any people running the company now have a business degree. Sorry about your dinner.

To Jean: Consumer...Your rolls were probably FROZEN...therefore the rolls would probably not cook properly. IBC International Brands Corporation is going through a BANKRUPTCY...they are cutting jobs..attention is NOT being taken to detail...IBC doesn't really care about the product anymore. They probably froze these rolls way ahead to make sure they would have enough for the Thanksgiving season...therefore your date as given for "good until"...was really not realistic...if they are frozen and then sent out...the quality is compromised..as you found out. QUALITY is not at the top of IBC's list right now...ONLY PROFITS...so sorry you as a consumer got caught in the middle of it....as IBC seems to forget that without good QUALITY products by GOOD QUALITY people...will eventually put them "OUT OF BUSINESS"...and that is exactly where they are headed.

Anybody have news on the bonus we will get this year,not route drivers or bakers but up here in the Corporate Office.Hope we get enought for another cruise this year. keep me posted on the latest. thank you, Willy

back on monday to pull hundreds of dominik's brown-n-serves off the shelves and out of the back rooms. get hammered with stale. ah, what the hell, rebag 'em (barehanded of course) and sell them as centrella. someone will buy them...

Call corporate and ask. What have you got to lose. Make sure that they explain it in full. They WILL answer your question, not human resources. You have already stated that you are about to lose your job. Personally, I think some people in management are not sure about what the proper procedures are.Do not go down without a fight. Management already thinks you will just file for unemployment. Another option would be getting a labor lawyer. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!

We dont make your orders if stuff missing cant help you.As far as time if were leaving late or routed in some insane destination ,we aint speeding safety first with this junk tractors and trailers that are falling apart.Now with this loony combo this leaves no room to pick up empty racks in other words no planning ,no ideas ,poor decisions,no product,just another day at I.B.C.

To Razz:....Yes....you are exactly right...however I was told that I COULD NOT JOIN THE UNION...that DOLLY TEXAS ROUTE DRIVERS could not join the Union. At any rate...it all comes down to this...If you are DOLLY....and if you have no SENIORITY....then your chances of keeping your job with IBC is impossible. When I worked for this company before....having a CAKE ROUTE was the best job you could have....well..not so...having a DOLLY CAKE ROUTE was the worst thing you could have this go around, and that is what they handed me....well...now I will be filing for unemployment soon....along with many other IBC workers.

To Beaumont and the rest of Texas: NEWS FLASH Union chooses first , then Hostess Non-Union, then Dolly seniority first. Although, if HostessUnion or Non Union pick a route outside of depot, they currently are located at then it is treated as seniority first . Try to figure that one out. Also, I was told by the union that Dolly drivers with a certain amount of seniority could sign up with Teamsters. It is called being "Grandfathered". Management will not tell you this.I.B.C. bought C.B.C. and an I.B.C. employee has every right to join union , if employed at that time. Also, a Texas location supposedly became a Union shop recently by adding a Hostess route. These are questions that need to be addressed immediately. Speak up now or forever hold your peace.Sometimes , this company makes me Wonder. Remember, employees are on" need to know basis only". What have you got to lose by asking questions? Your Job???? Dec. 19th is right around the corner.GOOD LUCK!!!!!!

To Rocky from LA,I'm not talking about Frito Lay,Sara Lee,I'm talking about IBC.I've been with IBC for 20+years giving them 110% everyday and thanks to the Union (who negotiated this for me) I have a great pension to look forward to. Ask your FritoLay and Sara Lee guys how their pension looks.

To Anon in Beaumont area...Thanks for the name on your Manager...I had heard my District Mananager this far North in Texas had the same area...however that is not the same name as my Sales District Manager. I had worked for Wonder Bread 3 other times...I went back to work for them in July...my Manager told me all about the boost in sales that would occur because of the COMBO routes...I was carrying only DOLLY at that time and considered a DOLLY ROUTE MAN....they gave me an impossible route to run...all door stops before 12...and scattered all over North Dallas which was 55 miles away from my depot. I did it though...and was promised so much when I was hired. Yes..I was LOW MAN...and the other guys in the depot were UNION...and had many years of seniority..the point is...the Manager knew I would be out the door within 6 months and never said a word..I had given up a good pension job to take this one with all the benefits that this Manager said I would be getting...I now know since they didn't even allow me to go to orientation that they had no plans to keep me...but to use me so the depot manager wouldn't have to run my route. The problem is now...it is right here at Christmas...it was hard to tell my family after I had endorsed this job before we decided to take it...only for me to be out the door within 6 months..I have a 10 year old son...wondering where Christmas money will come from...no severence...etc....apparently they are giving severence to some people per news articles...but they are not giving it to the route drivers. Good Luck to you in Beaumont..guess we should look at this all as somewhat of a blessing...as who wants to move forward with a Company that treats it's employees like this...no integrity at all. God Bless.....

Kenny Paul is the Division Manager down here in Beaumont/HOuston TX. There is no union at our branch but it did not matter. Seniority means more than anything. Kenny promised me that I would have a job- turns out it was a lie. I posted some serious increases on my route. The first year on my route I had a sales increase of $45,000.00 and a 2.2 % stale average for the year. All of that meant nothing. I was also well liked by my branch manager. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE THE LOW MAN WHEN IT COMES TO SENIORITY YOU BETTER START LOOKING FOR EMPLOYMENT ELSEWHERE NOW. YOUR NUMBERS WILL NOT SAVE YOU. THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS IS HOW LONG YOU HAVE BEEN WITH THE COMPANY. WE ARE NON-UNION IN BEAUMONT BUT SENIORITY IS ALL THAT MATTERS.

all Indy makes is Mini=Muffins. I know the world couldn't get by w/o those. Ha-Ha-Ha

And some more: Posted on Tue, Nov. 22, 2005 Interstate Bakeries to cut 450 more jobs GARANCE BURKE Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Interstate Bakeries Corp. said Tuesday it is laying off 450 workers as it consolidates operations in three regions across the country. The bankrupt baker of Wonder Bread and Hostess Twinkies said the closure will eliminate the positions of store clerks, salespeople and delivery people in nine states by the end of the year. The news marks the latest cost-cutting measure by Kansas City, Mo.-based Interstate Bakeries, which has shut seven bakeries and eliminated more than 4,000 jobs since it filed for bankruptcy in September 2004. Given falling demand for bread products, Interstate Bakeries' new management turnaround firm has sought to reduce low-performing operations by consolidating the company's bakeries and distribution hubs across the country. The company is making simultaneous efforts to rejuvenate flagship brand Hostess Twinkies and to woo customers to a line of new products. Last month, the company - the nation's largest wholesale bread and cake distributor - reported monthly sales in September were the second-lowest since it filed for Chapter 11 protection. Interstate spokeswoman Maya Pogoda said the company will complete consolidations in the next four months, after analyzing operations in the upper Midwest. The company said laying off the 450 workers would result in $3 million in charges, including $1 million in severance pay. Interstate Bakeries will spend an additional $3 million to implement the consolidation. The U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Kansas City must still approve the changes and will hear the motion in mid-December.

Another closure: http://www.wlbz2.com/home/article.asp?id=28931

To COMBO ROUTE out of Beaumont/Houston....I am from Sherman, TX....I was told a week ago that December the 19th would be the last day for me....they just came in...read a letter and told me no severence and it would be right before Christmas...and SENIORITY did rule and if you were NON Union and Dolly...you were just out of luck......Who was your District Manager? I was lied too for MONTHS...I was promised everything...I now know as you know..they just kept lying to keep me on the route......So sorry....I know how you feel...

For all you union lovers. You ask: "where would we be without the union"? Well.....lets ask the Frito Lay drivers. or how about the Sara lee drivers, or better yet lets ask the Corrs drivers. They are fine. and making money. WWW.VOTE-ROCKY-GARCIA-OUT-OF-THE-UNION.COM

RSM's have no control who is and is not layed off. It is a senority period. It doesn't matter how good you do your job. Even the company has no say so in that . It's a union senority. At least that's how it was here.

Wednesday, Nov. 23, I was informed that my job would be eliminated December 19. For those of you who are in the same situation, I must tell you that you will NOT get severance pay. Also- do not expect to keep your job because you perform your job at a high level. The cuts are being done based on seniority only. I have been with the company for almost 2 years. When I started, my route was one of the worst performing pulling out of Beaumont. Now it is the top one down there. I really don't understand why they would choose to let me go!! One last thing... DO NOT TRUST WHAT ANYONE TELLS YOU. MY SALES MANAGER OUT OF HOUSTON ASSURED ME THAT I WOULD HAVE A JOB NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENED.. IT TURNED OUT TO BE A LIE!!! LOOK OUT FOR YOURSELF-- NO ONE ELSE WILL.

News Flash: The Danika Danish coming to a store near you..........

To Sammy in Indy: Happy Thankdsgiving! I bet you are Indy Proud, like I am Emporia Proud. We were one of the last of the cuts. Dec. 19th looms heavily on everyones minds. Hostess has had the upper hand almost everywhere. I do not know why it would be any different in Indy. Wait, this is I.B.C. we are talking about . Good Luck!!!!!!!

Yea, We were told we were in the black and making money and look what the hell happened to us. FUCKING LIARS!!!!!

thanks for the info sammy have a great holiday. i realize these are tough times for us all. god bless

Yes We Do Have Perhaps The Most Profitable Pc/Plant In The Company Which Is Why We Are Being Consolidated Last. I Am Referring To The Routes Being Consolidated Not The Plant.

sammy what did you hear and from and from who did you hear it we have a good plant we shouldnt have to worry about it i want to know what you heard is it the plant or the routes i cant believe its the plant

SAMMY FROM INDY, WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY,INDY HAS ONE OF THE BEST ,MOST PROFITABLE LOCATIONS IN OUR COMPANY FROM WHAT I HAVE HEARD. ARE YOU IN MANAGEMENT,ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE PLANT OR THE ROUTES

The teamsters union is worthless.When was the last time they came around the workplace and talked to the rank and file?All they want is you to pay union dues and keep your mouth shut and everything will be fine.Any one that thinks the teamsters cares about them is only fooling themselves.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL LAKEWOOD EMPLOYEES!! By the way, only 16 more wakeups and it's the unemployment line, BABY!! Look at it this way. Stay at home and collect your $500 a week.( Not much less than our current take home now considering our routes aren't doing shit now anyways.)And good luck Hostess Drivers with your 'new' routes. I don't see a chance in hell you guys being able to serve all your stops.

Hey all you union haters out there.Where do you think we would be at if we were non-union?First of all we would not me at the pay scale that we are at if not for the union.Ask the non-union workers about their medical,pension,etc. benefits.If I have to give 5-10% back in pay for a little security,so be it.I'm still ahead of the game,thanks to the union.To anyone who has had to spend time in the hospital,had surgery,or had kids,you know what I mean.Are the Teamsters perfect? Hell no,but I don't want to think where we would be at without the union.I'm proud to be union and anyone who thinks different must be at the bottom of the seniority list.

To Razz, b.h.b.b.c. And My Other Colleagues, Happy Thanksgiving. We Are Getting Consolidated In Late January. Hostess Getting Shafted BIG TIME. I Dont Believe It Has Been That Way In The Other Parts Of The Country But We Have A Bully In Management Who Was With Dolly For Years So He Favors Them. So Everyone Try Not To Eat Too Much Food So As Not To Get Weighed Down So We Can Go Back To Work This Weekend And Be Productive And Make This The Biggest Post-Thanksgiving Weekend I.B.C. Has Ever Had........

Happy Thanksgiving to all the IBC employees I like. Both of you.

Hostess "Race Divas" 3 Cupcakes wearing nothing but their 7 lil squiggles, now I'm geting excited.

TO ALL IBC ROUTE DRIVERS,PRODUCTION, DISTRIBUTION, HAPPY THANKSGIVING, ROUTE DRIVERS: THANKS FOR ALL YOUR EXTRA LONG HOURS THAT UPPER MANAGEMENT HAS PUT ON YOU. THE NEVER-ENDING CHANGES YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH. HATS OFF TO THE ROUTE SALES THAT ARE STILL HANGING IN THERE. PRODUCTION, DISTRIBUTION: The never ending changing hours for you, the games played, jokers not working 4 hours a day and getting away with it ,the crap they are forced to send out. WHAT IS THE MEANING OF QUALITY TO IBC.... IT IS QUANTITY. OFFICE: Some people really do work in the offices, others no. Who is really caring about wasting hours away on the phone , excessive laziness ,and what time you have to leave to get your nails done? UPPER MANAGEMENT : Again I state,they are killing the company, needs housecleaning. I am so ready to go postal and rid this company of the crooks and idiots that sit in their office and make decisions that make the actual heart of IBC, the common worker, miserable. EVERY PERSON THAT MAKES OVER 50,000 A YEAR SHOULD RIDE A ROUTE FOR 2 WEEKS, OR WORK IN DISTRIBUTION OR PRODUCTION. Your fancy computer and spreadsheets are killing us, along with the power trip you are really making another deadly mistake.. you've been making for years. HELLO WHO GOT US IN THIS MESS UPPER MANAGEMENT ? I don't believe it was routemen, or the others listed. HOW DO THEY KEEP THEIR JOBS? I BELIEVE THE GOOD OLD BOYS ARE STILL IN CONTROL. CLEAN THEM OUT CLEAN THEM OUT. Maybe this is just one person's opinion, but I have backup with the same opinion. Get Rid of Some more Upper Management! Idioits that do major changes around the holidays. Thanksgiving Week, The worst Holiday yet. No product, late trucks, ordering screwed up, need I go on? Just knowing about routes being cut by DEC 19th makes me sick! WHEN IS THE DEADLINE DATE FOR CUTS UPSTAIRS AND HOW ABOUT THE BONUS RUMOR FOR CUTTING ROUTES BY A CERTAIN DATE.? I HOPE YOU CHOKE ON THE CHECK . THAT'S ALL FOR NOW

To George L.A. I was Wondering when someone was going to mention this . I thought that advertising dollars were being cut along with our wages ? Although, I would be willing to take a fifty dollar a week paycut, instead of 38 dollars, if we could have more racey advertising like this . I would like to thank the Hostess rsr's . Without their generosity this would not be possible. Look what your paycuts are paying for.............. I think Dolly Parton is next on the list.

I.B.C. Turkey humor: Who is a Turkey , that is stuffed full of it ? Answer: Touchdown Tony

we can't forget that mini muffin from the schiller park bakery...

Happy Thanksgiving to ALL IBC EMPLOYEES...I know what IBC is doing...and or going to do, has been very tough on everyone...But don't forget that even though it looks as though a lot of us do not, and will not have jobs soon...in spite of it all..we must take the time to be THANKFUL for the "good" things we do have... like family, and friends, our healthy children, etc.....In giving thanks even in what seems like the "worst" time of our lives...will bring only good things to come...so have "faith" that the best is yet to come!! God Bless!!

KANSAS CITY ? Three of professional racing?s leading women race car drivers ? Danica Patrick, Leilani Munter and Melanie Troxel ? have signed on to become Hostess "Race Divas" under a new sponsorship agreement with Interstate Bakeries Corp. THIS WILL GET EM OUT OF BANKRUPCY..OMG!

I.B.C. song of the day: Help, I need somebody Help! Not just anybody Help! You know I need somebody Help........ Look at all the people , standing in the Welfare line...........

We wish you a Merry Christmas. We wish you a Merry Christmas. We wish you a Merry Christmas , and good luck finding another job next year. Ho, Ho , Ho, Tony and the Gang...........

happy thanksgiving to all from the barehanded brown-n-serve bagging crew. why don't we stuff tony alvarez with jerry "the fairy" kemp, tony "da wop" izzo, stan "itsy bitsy" snyder, don "dumb as a" dorr, randy "bad mustache" vauk and dan "what the fuck is his last name" angst. we're sure they'll all fit up his ass. isn't that where they all came from, someone's asshole?

EX-EMPLOYEE.. could you please post the name of the attorney you used ?

YES....I agree with HODKINS, IL.....These people will reap what they sow...unfortunately...some people in this world have a way of deleted their "conscience"...and caring about nothing but themselves, power...and money. They will have to answer one day for their actions..and at that time will be held accountable.

It would seem that the upper people in charge are motivated by greed, money, and power. For now these evil people will live the high life at the expense of others. The end comes to us all one day. We all have to answer to the allmighty in the end on how we lived our life and treated our fellow man. Some believe otherwise.

er... late

Dear peoria bakery, Our transport was lat today (shocker) and didn't pick up any empty racks. You guys were obviously not ready for the thanksgiving rush of bread. Just to give you a heads up, on December 25th this year, people will be celebrating Christmas. We will need a lot of bread the week before. Mabey this time you can be ready. Thanks in advance.

To Mike Kafoure Never easy my tail end. I have listened to your confrence calls and we all know you sit in your plush office or Board Room with a catered lunch and tell the PC's to eliminate Jobs - you do not care about the employees. And we know that the PC VP and the rest of the fools in PC Management are just like you they sit in the Confrence Room with a catered lunch and free snacks/ sodas taken from the retail store or employee lunch room. Yeah Charlie Smith were are talking about you - the only difference is most of your Directors/Managers have QUIT the Company because of YOUR Stupidity and LACK OF MANAGEMENT SKILLS - (so kiss Tony and Mike's A$$ again). Back to Kafoure: You act as the jobs do not affect real people - You are wrong you dumbsh** these are people that you are affecting with real families. Not everyone has it so nice alot of these people live paycheck to paycheck, (no fault of their own), and depended on IBC to help them provide the basic necessaties of life. Not everyone has a Company Car (you dont even pay for the damm gas), and other Company Paid Benefits. A monthly income that is more than some people make in a full year. It must be nice to be able to screw up peoples futures during the hours of 9-5 with a 1 or 2 hr lunch break, then go home and kick up your feet and sit back and watch your money grow. Well alot of us are working 12-14 hours days and we are just watching our money decrease with the higher utilities, fuel, food, clothes and other basic needs. All comes down to higher cost of living and NO increase in income (NO DAMM PAYRAISE FOR YEAR AND HALF). And you say you as management care about those affected by the actions caused by the BK. Stop feeding us the crap Mike (& Tony) we all know better - ACTIONS ARE LOUDER THAN WORDS. GO F**K YOURSELF YOU MISERABLE PIECE OF SH**.

Letter from Mike Kafoure to all Employees - He is so ful of Sh** it is not funny. November 22, 2005 Dear IBC Employee: I wanted to share with you updated information regarding the Company?s ongoing reorganization and consolidation efforts. We have now completed a review of nine of ten PCs. We have previously closed six bakeries and have announced the closing of the Lakewood, WA bakery as well as consolidating some retail, sales and routes in these areas. While it is never easy to close a bakery or eliminate jobs, I want to assure you that management has worked hard to limit the number of layoffs, and have even reduced them in some cases. Negotiations with the IBT and BCT locals continue, and with the ratification of modifications and extensions by several locals (and more expected), we have been able to effect cost savings and efficiencies without implementing as many layoffs as had been originally anticipated. Nonetheless, consolidations will be implemented in the North Central, South Central and Southeast Profit Centers and completed in the Northern California, Southern California and Northwest Profit Centers over the next six weeks or so. We also expect to complete the last of our PC consolidations, affecting the Upper Midwest PC in the first quarter of calendar 2006. While it is impossible to predict precisely what locations and routes will be impacted at this time, we expect approximately 1,250 jobs to be impacted across the six PCs noted above. We intend to notify those employees affected by these consolidations as soon as possible and to do all that we can to make a smooth transition. Thank you for your patience. We will provide you with more information as it develops. Your continued cooperation and loyalty are appreciated. Sincerely, Michael D. Kafoure President and Chief Operating Officer

Anyone know what the stock ended up at today? Is it back under $7.00...or did it go even further down??

ANY BODY GOT A TOWEL? TONY NEEDS IT FOR HIS BACK. HMMM, WHAT DO THEY CALL THAT?

King Geeeeee! Where are you baby?! Tell us more about hyour new website. www.kickmya$$.com

For all who decided to call in sick today, and thought you were gonna screw the companny, guss what..... TOO LATE...........YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING EARLIER! ALL YOU ARE DOING IS TAKING THE OVERTIME MONEY OUT OF YOUR POCKET.MANAGEMENT DOES NOT CARE ANYMORE. WE SHOULD HAVE STOOD UP A LONG TIME AGO.........TOO LATE....THE PARTYS OVER!

TONY...CAN YOU PLEASE GET RID OF THIS GUY SWEENEY BEFORE HE RUINS WHAT LITTLE BUSINESS WE HAVE LEFT HERE N NEW JERSEY!!!!!!...

What ever happened to the SEC Investigation that named Charles Sullivan, Mike Kafoure, Frank Coffey, Bob Morgan, Paul Yarick, Brian Stephenson for stock fraud. I still see at least two of these crooks are still employed. Additionnally the $40 million that Sullivan/Yarick hide that related to the Workers Compensation Reserves - that has not been brought up for a while in the press either. I really am hopeing that the SEC/Gov does something to these Crooks - It killed my investment in this Company and they walk away rich and untiouched while the employees are devisated.

KC Star this afternoon-IBC is consolidating the North Central / South Central and Southeast Profit Centers-more jobs gone.

Anyone want to bet on how low the stock goes now with the latest news out of KC - more routes off the street. This stock has an anchor tied to it and it is headed for the ocean floor - thanks to that dumb Foreigner - Tony "dumbshit" Alvarez. Turn Around Specialist my Ass - Flush down the toilet specialist is more like it. And how much are they paying this CROOK.

Add these to your email list: Smith_Charlie@interstatebrands.com Angst_Dan@interstatebrands.com cooper_steve@interstatebrands.com Willson_dick@interstatebrands.com These three are the PC VP's Smith - SCPC Angst - NCPC Cooper - SEPC. Willson - EVP WBU They are the ones to blame for the loss of routes along with that A** Alvarez. They are killing IBC and they do not care, they are still getting their fat paychecks and bonus checks while we all suffer and lose our jobs. Got to He** Management

THIS INFORMATION FROM A GOOD SOURCE: Routes will be up for SALE after the first of the year. This is a practice that many of the larger companies such as SARA LEE, MRS. BAIRDS/BIMBO, and other have implemented to save on fuel costs. So with that...we have to say that anything can happen...be aware of it...and if you don't have the money to buy a route...it would be a good time to "bail out"....make the best of it...and move forward with your life.

I agree with Pete.....If they product can not seem to make the "limelight" on it's own..it is going to have to have advertising through another "media" ......lots of people watch the races. However, my thoughts are this company has LONG ago done itself in integrity wise...it will take a miracle for it to ever be what it once was in the "old" days...too many people have had their hands on what GOOD PEOPLE took many years to build up...and for the sake of "money" and "profit"..and extremely "poor management"...it has really underminded the people who with the American Dream in mind...established excellent products...excellent service...that really does not seem to exists anymore. Again...one reaps, what it sows.

AS FAR AS I CAN TELL OUR VENDORS ARE GETTING PAID IN ABOUT 31-34 DAYS. WE NEED SOMETHING LIKE THE RACING DIVAS TO ENHANCE OUR PLACE IN THE MARKETPLACE THUS IT MAY SOUND CRAZY BUT AT LEAST SOMEONE IS THINKING.

mark and andy will soon be asked to leave.two back stabbers.the good guy came in first this time.

Here you go prozac---> To email an IBC manager use this format: lastname_firstname@interstatebrands.com Michael Jones would be this way: jones_mike@interstatebrands.com Larry Smith would be: smith_larry@interstatebrands.com Got it ? :-) Have a nice day.

Here's a good one for ya! IBC can't/wont pay their bills, route reps are giving back $38 a week, , nationwide route cuts and plant closings, equipment is falling apart and yet the bankruptcy judge allows IBC management to sponser the "Hostess Divas" race car drivers?

I wasn't talking about Texas weather. I was talking about the (probably the best weather in the country) Ventura/ Oxnard/ Malibu area weather.

Well, I may be going too. I've been here for 17 years. I'm tired of this. We have always had combo routes here. They were going to give us some relief with some cake routes, and all we would have is the bread. But as usual they took that idea off the table. The thing that sucks, is if I resign. that means no severance pay.

I feel for ya my florida brother. Looks like I wont have a route to trade.

Sir...I beg you pardon...I live in North Texas...the humidity is 100% most day...no air...and 100 plus degree temperatures in the Summer....I was no complaining...I was merely trying to sympathize with you...have a heart.

14 hours a day! Get real, you have it easy. Were working a minimum of 14 hours a day. Most days are closer to 16. Plus the fact, we don't have that perfect Ventura county weather. ( I use to live there) Try doing it in 95 plus degree heat with 100% humidity. You have it easy man. Want to see if we can trade routes?

Yes...I heard the routes were going to get really bad...I got the leftovers that no one wanted before the BIG LAY OFF News hit and the new COMBO routes to include DOLLY Cakes after they eliminated all the DOLLY routes, I was hired as a DOLLY ROUTE MAN ONLY...I had no idea what was going on....so the Guy that hired me now says he didn't know about the lay offs to come either....One really wonders now.. I left at 3:30 in the morning...and it was and hour and half just to get to my first stop...I had all door stops in which all of them had to be made by noon...some didn't open until 7 a.m....and then you had to hope that the back door person would let you in early so that you wouldn't have to and hour just to get in to service your SLOWLY DWINDLING DOWN SHELF SPACE as "news" was already being leaked that Dolly was going. This was the CITY I serviced....upper North Dallas in the middle of rush hour trying to get all these door stops...it was almost impossible...but screams and yells were coming constantly from my superiors..it was absolutely impossible some days to make them....I still work a 14 hour day....but with all the stale...as no one seems to want Dolly Madison anymore....makes for a much smaller commission check. Promises, Promises they made me when I was hired...what a complete nighmare this has been for me and my family....My truck has broken down about 4 times in the last 2 months....I guess they don't really much care anymore as my truck is 23 years old with no heat and nearly 400,000 miles on it. I am sure the routes will get longer and longer...IBC thinks they will realy save money that way...but quality will fall I am sure because the men will be tired from so many hours and less pay. Due to seniority, and being of Non Union status...I will not be around to probably see the worst of what this company has done to it's employees....I wish all my fellow Routes Drivers all the best....

There is in all the world in all the country?s in all the U.S in all the states in all of California in all the cities in all the worthless company?s None . NONE I SAY AS WORTHLESS as the women at the wonder Pomona office. And That about somes it up!

Take a look at the new bread route set up for The S.E. Oxnard down in to Malibu route. Your on drugs if you think anyone is going to be able to take care of this route. You got guy?s like Bobby, Chuck and Tom Out there now and they all can move . Chuck and Tom barley make that Ralph?s now. So you double the bread add a bunch off Chains , Put both Navy base?s on the one route. I say again You are on drugs! Take a look at Chuck?s truck some Saturday then tell me where your going to put the wonder bread? Is your plan to loose the Navy Bases? That?s fine just tell them your done and don?t put them on the routes . Easy NO guarantee paid easy. Lets see Boby has chains the don?t receive until 7.00 Tom And Chuck Have a 8:30 Ralph?s. Tom?s School?s You can will have to serve early But Bobby?s Base will close early. But then the P.X don?t open until later you can come back after you hit Chuck?s Malibu Ralph?s that?s a hour one way in drive time. Then You can hit all the beach stops on the way back to Oxnard to make Kmart and the am pm. And the??????? Better you than me. Give me my severance packet please and I?ll be on my way. I tell you this Fuck heads. I am not working 14 hours a day .

Name: ABSOUTLY MAD. WARNING TO YOU DELIVERY MEN! Employee Comment: WARNING!! You were seen giving a tray of Hostess product to a person in an automoblie. Second time you were seen. REPORTED THIS TIME> Im not paying the price for your product because you want to be Mr. Nice guy to your buddy!!!! You have no idea of the circumstances for what you saw. It is a common thing to see a customer that we no longer serve (because their account isn't big enough) to buy product directly from the route man. So, before you get all pissy, why don't you find out the facts.

Stock report, Stock down today to $7.87. Went down to $6.35 earlier in the day. Just to give you a reference, the stock was just over $12.00 at the beginning of Sept.

Let me play Devil's Advocate about the situation with "Concerned". If he posted on this site with a company computer and on company time, he has no defense. It doesn't matter if he posted phone numbers or family recipes. Free speech does not apply here. Does anyone know if this was the case?

WOW! Rocky was just here and there wasn't even an election.

the sandwich pans were new straight from the supplier,they are spending money hand over fist.wish we knew some hard facts from the company, not just rumor.

If we do not protect the professionals who make an ethical choice in the face of opposition by their employer, then we do not deserve professionals with high ethical standards. ?

It's funny (or sad really) to look at the names on the phone list. Since the bankruptcy announcement nearly 15 months ago, there are no new names on this list - just the same group of people who led us down this path in the first place. That list speaks louder than words. If you take an ugly girl out to a bar for drinks, she doesn't get any prettier in the morning. Same with this company, until most, if not all the names on this list change, nothing will get better and Bimbo, Flowers, and Sara Lee will grab what they can at bargain basement prices realy soon.

The ACLU is our nation's guardian of liberty. We work daily in courts, legislatures and communities to defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties guaranteed to every person in this country by the Constitution and laws of the United States. Our job is to conserve America's original civic values - the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. The American system of government is founded on two counterbalancing principles: that the majority of the people governs, through democratically elected representatives; and that the power even of a democratic majority must be limited, to ensure individual rights. Majority power is limited by the Constitution's Bill of Rights, which consists of the original ten amendments ratified in 1791, plus the three post-Civil War amendments (the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth) and the Nineteenth Amendment (women's suffrage), adopted in 1920. The mission of the ACLU is to preserve all of these protections and guarantees: ? Your First Amendment rights-freedom of speech, association and assembly. Freedom of the press, and freedom of religion supported by the strict separation of church and state.

Hey Billy Ray, What was that new safety plan? Let me guess. Sit in the breakroom playing pokemon cards for 8 hours that way non of the little babies will be able to hurt themselves. HEY!!! Look at that ceiling over there!! What if someone had a sudden 12' growth spurt and hit there head on it!!! We'll have get the Safety Committee to sit in the conference room for a few hours to discuss this potential hazard.

The Poster known as "Concerned" in Kansas City, was fired this morning for posting the top management's phone numbers on this website. They stated that he violated some Company policy by giving out these phone numbers and the 800 numbers. Sounds like they are running scared. Told him if he ever posts again they will sue him for breech. If you really want to help this guy call those people on his list and really start to fill their voicemails - they wont answer there calls now. Maybe changing phone numbers to protect them from angry employees. What a bunch of pansies, they all got their panties in a wad. Sorry to see you go - Concerned - you try to do the right thing and they fire your tail.

Bull! Freedom of speech.

Now we have people acting like they are the webmaster, stating that they do not sell or trace anuthing. That sounds like Management trying to convice you that they are your friend. My advice you all better watch out, someone is watching. Overheard Legal talking about going after someone who was caught posting on this site. They lose their job later today and may face possible lawsuit. All I know it sounds all fishy to me.

Dear Scott, No thank you about kissing your ass, Robert does that enough, obviously............ No one said that you weren't doing your job. You all just left it open for everyone to be absent a day a week and get away with it!!!!!!! Thank you for doing your job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NO!! San Diego DID NOT get the Kirkland back.

I agree with you, Prozac. This message board is meant for us to speak up, because we know that there are others out there going through the same BS and understand us! No matter who is at fault for the trouble this company is in it's nice to have a place to blow off some steam. I I do believe that it is not the employees' fault what is going on with this place. It's the people that we rely on to sign our hopefully non-bouncing paychecks! We have been here busting our arses doing what we're supposed to do and more, and the thanks we get is, "We are closing shop. "Merry Freaking Christmas." If anyone is offended by the content they see here or feels they are above all of it then don't bother to read or post. That's just my opinion.

Anonymous I?m sorry that you feel that I am making a personal attack against Krusty, but I, like others at Lakewood, feel that she has made personal attack on us. I?m also sorry that management has made a whole line of bad decisions. That is not my fault, nor is that the fault of MOST of the employees at Lakewood. The personal attacks that you are talking about are earned - they are not just popping out of thin air. It is NO WONDER that Lakewood is closing. We sat idle, saying nothing, allowing our company to be run into the ground. The personal attack you are talking about comes from where? Well, I say it comes from upstairs and our regional office. They gave no contract, no raise and now, no job. You have a lot of nerve to blame this mess on me. By the way, what the hell is Krusty?s husband doing posting on this web site? I guess that is the benefit of the site. We have a forum to vent and voice our opinions. I am glad that you voiced yours, and I am sure you are glad that I did the same. LOVE PROZAC

did san diego get the kirkland brand back at costco?

Does it really make you low feel good to cut other people down. With employee's like you (prozac) here in lakewood, no wonder were closing. I agree that management has made terrible decisions, but that does not give us the right to attack somebody. Have a little respect for yourself and other's.

Go Prozac! Tell it like it is. Have you heard Krusty speak? Like freakin' nails running down the chalkboard. Eeeekk!

the sale of i.b.c. would be a huge news item. i don't think we would need to look here to hear about it. it would be all over the news as soon as it became available. to all the ones who post relevant to an i.b.c. sale, save it. to all who wonder, watch the news, if it is going to happen, you'll know...

HEY YOU LAST TWO SELF PROCLAIMED NO IT ALLS,I STILL HAVENT HEARD ANY PROOF OF ANY OF YOUR RUMORS IF THAT IS THE EFFORT YOU PUT INTO YOUR JOB ITS NO WONDER YOUR SO UPSET . ALL OF US ARE A BIT AFRAID AT THIS TIME BUT 95 PERCENT CHOOSE TO WORK THROUH IT AND CONTINUE TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR FAMILIES.ITS NOT EASY FOR ANY OF US BUT WE DONT ALL CHOOSE TO USE SCARE TACTICS TO WHIP PEOPLE INTO A SCARED FRENZY. GET ANOTHER JOB IF YOU ARE SO BITTER

Krustys lover could be manager Mike J. I think he likes them big cows, he could be her son or him her dad?

rumor has worcester ma closing this week. anybody know anything.

This Union Stinks. The company still in the dinasour era. Store hates you, but needs you and Management hates you, but needs you and the union hates you but needs your dues. So keep your chin up and stay in arms way. Have to acted like Biwater in melrose park, il. Don't give a s h i t an anything. He is a producer, but he doesn't care about anything.

Wow We finally found a krusty fan. I can only come to three conclusions of why you would defend the fat bitch. 1) You have the hots for her. You must like the way her ankles flow over the top of her shoes and the way her ass wiggles like two pigs under a blanket. 2) Your in upper management, all the department mangers in the place can?t stand her she does not support them either. She seems to have her own agenda maybe Tony can tell us what the hell it is. God knows that she has the personality of a dung beetle. 3) You are the fat bitch herself, in the case go to hell. Yes I am a little nuts but the doctor said that I was not a danger the public and I have the paperwork to prove it do you? Last but not least of all, yes I have a face that only a mother could love, I take that back no one could love. LOVE PROZAC

IBC will reap what it sows......anyone who knows anything about those principles that were put into place thousands of years ago...will know exactly what I am talking about...unfortunately people who choose "themselves"...over the fairness of others will end up hitting bottom....therefore.....this company will unfortunately reap the worst....I am sure all will be able to see in the very near future....Good Luck to ALL employees and thieir families who have truly been wronged by the IBC.

How do you feel about the teamsters union ?

NO RUMORS..... Just an observation. If this Company has this many disgruntle employees in it's mist, something is definately wrong and if change doesn't occur, the ship will sink to bottom of the ocean, with no rescue required. Believe me, IBC has Titantic written all over it. I did 20+ yrs. at IBC and believe me, there is life afterwards. Take care of yourselves and don't worry about the future. Take the future in your own hands. Life has never been better.

Jack Lewis can have this place but i think wewill still be here if not ,just roll down the road to the next one.

MORE RUMORS AND NO PROOF,NO ONE WITH THE NERVE OR MANHOOD TO GIVE THEIR NAME. JUST GIVE YOUR NAME AND WHO GAVE YOU THE INFO IF THE END IS NEAR IT WONT MATTER ANYWAY I STICK TO MY ORIGINAL COMMENT THAT YOU PEOPLE ARE LOW BUDGET TERRORIST GET WITH IT,PUT UP OR SHUT UP

Prozac tells it just like it is. I also am aware of the illegal actions of our Lakewood IBC management. Prozac is not a liar. Just ask the Lakewood police, FBI or the state of Washington.

My post got deleted, so here is an edited version: Ms Piggy went to the doctor for her annual physical. Doctor: Well Ms Piggy we are just about done here. Do you have any health concerns? Ms Piggy: Yes doctor, is it OK that my husband likes to have a**l sex with me? Doctor: doesn?t that hurt? Ms Piggy: No and I kind of like it. Doctor: Well, it?s OK only if he uses a condom. Ms Piggy: If it?s only a**l why must he use a condom? Doctor: Were do you think IBC managers come from. Ms Piggy: Maybe I should just do oral. Doctor: Oral is OK but never swallow. Ms Piggy: Why not? Doctor: After the s*men goes through your system and passed into the toilet within your stool there is a 27.6% chance a baby Alvarez or Marsal will come slithering out of that toilet nine months later.

Get your shit staright, I doubt Christy ever lied to get you fired, your lazy ass did that buy yourself. Look in the mirror you crazy ass, if you do your job you don't get fired. I would also like to comend you on your name, IT FITS. By the way did the mirror break?

As I read all of your comments.....it is clear that there are a lot of people who will not have a job by the end of this year..due to poor IBC management, and apparent lack of integrity to it's employees. My thoughts...and my prayers go out to all of you and your families who are going through this....It is definetly not a good time of the year for a company to be doing this to it's loyal employees. I pray all of you get through this. I have found that there are always reasons to be thankful...look around you...losing your job is not the worst things that happen...so I make it a habit to count my blessings daily....God Bless you all!!!
