A 32 mil $ loss in november. Talking to workers no one seems to care anymore. They are talking about the management. Looks like no hope at all. Everyone going day to day until the doors close one day soon. So sad.

Yes Razz We Are Humming Along Just Fine. The Company Has Lost 60 Million Dollars In The Last Twelve Weeks Alone, Sales Lower Every Month Then The Preceeding Month Yet Management Says The Company Is Heading Straight Upward Like A Spaceship.

To New Hire: You are the perfect example of a non-skilled, uneducated monkey. That is why you will always be miserable and stuck in a bakery all of your life. Learn how to do something else and get a better job!

You must be one of them know it all, gonna change the operation types thats banging your head off the walls and getting nowplace crybabies that'll be out of a job soon because of cut-backs. Nobody gives a rats ass about what you think anyway.

I.B.C. song of the day: Will they ever stop drivin' me? Have they ever taken time to see That I need some rest if I'm to do my best? Can I please stop workin' so hard? They just tell me gotta close it hard. Got to think of my health. Can I be by myself? Oh, they tell me I'll be home someday. Well I doubt it if I continue this way, `cause this hard life I've led is makin' me dead. P.S. A short song today.

To babbaboey: I am confused. Are you saying this company is on the right track?This company, has not even figured out the 50 million in lost/underfunded workman's comp funds.Also, the underfunded pension funds.(multi-millions). The people that made these mistakes are still here . I guess we are progressing along just fine.

hey read the contract and quit trying to screw laid off employees out of vacation pay just because you can't pay your bills because the court protects you we have no such protection. oh HAPPY NEW YEAR

To mr. used to be, feed back, love it. but how long are those IDIOTS going to be in charge???

test

Interstate Bakeries Corp., Kansas City, Mo., filed a complaint earlier this week against the American Bakers Association Retirement Plan, Washington, to stop the pension plan from transferring $27 million to another retirement plan that covers only retirees of competitor Sara Lee. Interstate Bakeries, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in September 2004, is one of seven sponsors of the American Bakers plan, which had $116.5 million in assets at the end of 2004, according to the plan?s Form 5500 filing. The complaint, filed U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Missouri, asks the court to suspend the transfer of any assets until the PBGC characterizes the ABA plan as either a multiple employer plan or an aggregate of single employer plans. ?A transfer of $27 million in assets would leave the (ABA) plan severely underfunded and prevent Interstate Bakeries? employee-participants ? from receiving benefits to which they are entitled,? the lawsuit said. According to the suit, complaint, Interstate Bakeries seeks to determine whether the ABA plan is ?a multiple employer plan, where the contributions of all employers will help fund retiree benefits ? and which has been the case for over two decades ? or if the plan is a single employer plan, where each employers? contributions are restricted to fund only its employee-participants.? Maya Pogoda, a spokeswoman for Interstate Bakeries, did not comment further on the court filing. ABA spokesman Rob Mackie did not return phone calls by press time.

I can post my comments here, and by the way....the last comment with the name Mike wasn't from me.

Want to save some big money? Get rid of those Departments that we didn't have before we went BK. Quality Department don't know what to look for, Safety Department still trying to figure out what these people do, Sanitation Department , Production Department and Engineering department, what a total waste of money. All these people do is go from one plant to another trying to figure out what to do or who they can screw in their trip reports. These people are the biggest butt sniffer I've ever seen. If they show up at your Plant just let everyone know that the Butt Sniffers are here.

Thank God for the new orders we now get from Pomona, don't know how we ever did without those sticker to stick on the bread racks. Too bad it has not helped our unaccounted for. Time to have another meeting so Cooper can show us that trick of his with those ice cream sticks, you know the one about you can break one ice cream stick but if you hold a handfull together you can't break them. Ray Nichols, Brian How, blind leading the blind. We need Ray Mendoza back to fix this loading dock.

STAN SOCHA - AN IGNORANT ASSHOLE WHO DOES NOT CARE ABOUT PEOPLE!!!!!!!! HES MESSED UP THE PHILADELPHIA SHIPPING DEPARTMENT BEYOUND REPAIR.

Razz Look at the sheets and compare them from the last filing. You will find sales down 500,000 and ingredients up over 3 million and direct labor up almost 4 million however corporate expenses are down a million. they also got rapped with 15 million dollars in income tax expenses which is a 25 million dollar swing from last month. I will email them to you if you wouild like my email is wordup930@aol.com

I miss your graphite covered bald head on those oven crashes......Haveapuff never gets dirty............ Oven head may not get dirty, but at least he performs the appropriate lock-out and confined space entry checks before anyone enters?

P.S. True "Rock-n-Roll"

To babbaboey: Iv'e got a song for you .You cannot keep taking the losses, this company is not strong enough(upper mgt.) wise to pull this off....... P.S. The song is above.

This company was not driven into the ground overnight so to try and right the ship is not going to happen overnight. 32 million is alot but look deeper. The 200 million in DIP money has not been touched. Sales are down 30 million from last year but how much is that Costco Walmart and other P/l. The bottom line is the reduced operating expenses by 2.2 million.. Plus alot of the properties that are for sale are still in contract meaning no money has been aquired for those properties. I dont know if it will turn around but I do know it is going to take years if it does

Taking a vote on new IBC slogan. IBC= Idiots Back in Charge Do I hear any feedback?

32 million dollar loss in november...when will this company learn that getting rid of drivers and keeping the same idiots at the helm is not working...its really the beginning of the end

As the saying goes, TIMING is EVERTHING!!!!!! (Glad I got "shoved out" when I did).

I.B.C. question of the day: Q: What's in your wallet Tony? A: alot of money, and that is more ,than what is in the company coffers.

This place is cursed if your salary and they send you here, you know your days are numbered. Daddio we had a good run while you was here........this place ran like shit but we had fun I miss your graphite covered bald head on those oven crashes......Haveapuff never gets dirty............you cared to much and they fucked you to death........I also miss my chinese soup slurppin buddie we had a team now it sucks just ask my lil Italian friend

Then Walmart can work on bankrupting the next baker

Wal Mart will not allow anyone to make very much on the P.L. We do not need it! Good ridance.

RE:MR USED TO BE You are right on the money.Not many are left that will give 100%. that attitude comes as a direct result of the management esp. at the higher levels . lower level mg. just follow like sheep .Not enough balls to run ther operation like some of them know they should be doing. Its one big cover your ass party.In this PC we have the worst group 0f district sales mgrs. I have ever seen in 24 years. Someone needs to stand up and be a leader.

heard a rumor that weston's brownberry independent distributors will be getting the dominik's private label sometime soon. anyone?

Daddio, glad to hear you are doing well. I wish you and your family a great New Year. I too am enjoying my life away from IBC. Take Care!

Thanks!

Something for Nothing. I'm finally impressed.

I.B.C. song of the day: Waiting for the winds of change To sweep the clouds away Waiting for the rainbow's end To cast its gold your way Countless ways You pass the days Waiting for someone to call And give you that perfect job Looking for an answer to The question you have found Looking for An open door You don't get something for nothing You don't get freedom for free You won't get wise With the sleep still in your eyes No matter what your dreams might be What you own is your own kingdom What you do is your own glory What you love is your own power What you live is your own story In your head is the answer Let it guide you along Let your heart be the anchor And the beat of your own song P.S. Find another job soon!

I will tell you why we are losing money ! STOP plussing products we don't sell. And STOP cutting products we do sell. ALL these managers should be put in jail for fraud, they are doing what they are told by the higher ups !

Interstate Bakeries Reports Largest One-Month Loss Since Bankruptcy AP Kansas City-based Interstate Bakeries says it lost $32.5 million last month, its largest one-month drop since filing for bankruptcy last year. The maker of Hostess Twinkies and Wonder Bread also reduced its retained earnings for the prior fiscal year by $331 million. For the four weeks ending Nov. 12, Interstate said it took in $231 million in revenue, down slightly from the previous month's record low sales mark. By comparison, the company reported sales of $260 million during the same period a year ago and a loss of just under $2 million. Since then the company has streamlined its operations, closing six bakeries since April and consolidating delivery routes.

RAINMAN: well spoken, No more Krusty posts by me.

Boys, Bankruptcy is a 2-4 year process. This Company has not hit bottom yet!! Decisions being made show they want to lose business, trim workforce, lose money!! The next round of BK will start with Employee givebacks, trim product lines, more lay offs and then the push to bring back this company will start. Hopefully with new leadership because the people that brought us down need to be FIRED!!!!!!!

So, is i.b.c. belly-up yet?? How about that pomana plant..

That'll teach me to make my stylized upraised fingers out of HTML tags. The filter ate 'em. Revised: To the corporate brass I offer a heartfelt ,I,, o_0 ,,I,

DT: The broken fridge is still in the building. We rolled it downstairs to prevent someone from using it unaware and ruining their lunch. For the rest of Lakewood - Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I wish you all luck in your future endeavors. And in the spirit of the season - and since none of us are even working there any longer - let's tone down the Christy-hate, maybe. Hey, put down the tar and feathers, bear with me a second! I know folks have had knock-down, drag-outs with her, and some questionable things have happened during her tenure, but I can't help reflecting that the HR manager position here would have been a juicy crap sandwich to hand a veteran, let alone someone new to the top slot. How many of us would handle our first plant-level position with equanimity were it a legal and administrative quagmire created by constant inept conniving by predecessors in H.R., by the company brass, by the unions, and by a small, nasty, litigious subset of floor workers? The job was impossible. By the second week my hands would've been itching for a bottle of Jack or a tire iron. Besides, we're all free now. Let's save the bile, if any, for the unambiguous villains: the Enron-class, criminally-incompetent corporate brass who tanked the outfit with poor decisions and tried to hide it with fancy accounting footwork. ...OK, not so fancy. To those guys I offer a heartfelt <^> 0_o <^> Addendum: GEEE!

IBC is about to have it's worst 3 months of the year. At a loss of 34 million for the 4 weeks ended 11/14, they can expect to be out of cash by the end of February. They will need credit and they will need to borrow cash to continue operating. Chapter 7 by the Ides of March.

Boy....this Krusty gal must be a weal dooozie....lmao!

Hey Anon, Shut up you cock!

hey mike quit crying this isn't the place for your comments about other drivers

IBC reports to the bankrupcy judge today reports sales for this 4 week period as 231 million as compared to 259 million last year in the same period.Reports losses as 32.5 million as compared to a lose of 1.8 million last year in the same period.What does this say for IBC,s future?This also states that they have closed six bakeries and streamlined operations ?

Missing pension funds the teamsters union doesn't care.Are they in bed with Interstate Brands?The teamsters union is worthless

Anyone know what happened to the missing pension funds payments?

IBC released their latest 4 week report to the bankrupcy judge-losses increased from 19 million in the previous 4 wks to 32 million for the latest four weeks.

dan angst is a pussie

Remember When! (70s-80s- and even most of the 90s) I remember when 95% of IBC employees, including myself, looked forward to going to work everyday. Took pride in doing a good job. Increasing space and selling displays to maxamize sales in every account. Today about 5% is in that category. And management wonders why IBC is in the shape they are. Poor management is directly related to poor morale and bad attitudes. They don't have a clue. I guess the best way to look at it is, if IBC doesn't care neither do I. At least their on the right track when they got rid of Hawkins!

Why would I want to come back? I'm having too much fun up here. You should come and visit, I'll show you what life is like outside of IBC. WOOOOO HOOOOO! PS I Really miss you all (lol) Daddio

break out the test tubes...

All the bread the depots throw away daily. IBC could have saved jobs. Happy Holidays

YOUR FIRED!!!!!!!!!!!

To: Life's a beach I Miss you so much, why did you leave us? all I do is sit infront of my parts room office computer reading your old emails. My new boss doesn't love me like you did or appreciate me like you did they actually want me to work now and be responsible for things I F_ck up you ruined my life Beach please see if Eller will let you come back!!!!!!! For Me!!!!!!! I have room on my forearm for you! DADDIO Wooo WHOOO

How do you people that work for interstate brands feel about the teamsters union ? We never hear or see them here in Denver.They don't even return telphone calls.

Life is good! I hear that a Canadian Company that I work for, is looking for a plant that can supply hog food for thier pork producing plant. I told them that Millbrook produced the best and the most hog feed in the country.

I.B.C. song of the day: Money changes everything Money, money changes everything We think we know what we're doin' That don't mean a thing It's all in the past now Money changes everything They shake your hand and they smile And they buy you a drink They say we'll be your friends We'll stick with you till the end Ah but everybody's only Looking out for themselves And you say well who can you trust I'll tell you it's just Nobody else's money Money changes everything Money changes everything We think we know what we're doin' We don't pull the strings It's all in the past now Money changes everything Money changes everything Money changes everything We think we know what we're doing We don't know a thing It's all in the past now Money changes everything Money changes everything Money changes everything P.S.

whats up with this site?

Since we're saying nice things, I want to add F&*#K you to that bitch in the office. You know who you are.

Please have a happy and prosperous 2006 P.S. F@*# Y#u Krusty Ice cream Ich

Hey Nutty Professor.....maybe you should have your medication on an IV drip.

Thanks Professor. I'm amazed how you see right through the unspeakable evil.

Hey St. Louis, Your contract must be different then ours. An extra-man running a vacation route gets paid vacation relief pay only. You only get commission if the regular routeman is gone for any reason other than vacation, and you never get depot average unless you fill in for a supervisor.

I'm calling my Lawyer and suing all of the people on this web site. You are not talking about me as much as other people. This is called "Disparete Treatment" and is against the Law. John Correia

To EB Sarge at Arms: I believe that you are refering to Jorge not George. You are right. He was big and bad when he was harrassing 4' Women in the Bakery. When he harrassed a 4' Man he got punched out. I don't think he mentioned what happened to him to his boyz back on the block. YO!

Thanks Anon from St. Louis for the info on the pay for the "extra man", it is appreciated.

WHY are YOU BITCHING about the lon hours? 20 years ago we worked 15 hours everyday GROW UP, BE A MAN NOT A WIMP!!!!!!!!

If your the extra man you get paidoff the route that you run when the routeman is on vacation.If you do anything else you get paid depot avg.

Richard Rondina was fired from his new job. Bill Cox saw right trough his BS and didn't want to see Maple Leaf go the same road as Glendale. Rondina was last seen begging for another chance here at Glendale. Stay tuned for more hot details!

KC Not much they can do about the hours right now. But when they emerge from BK the Co. will not have the protection of the courts. Thats when we can get our paybacks and push back. Put a dog in a corner and he will bite.

What teamsters union they have been missing from the workplace for years. The chicken shit B.A 's are scared of IBC.

Do any of your route drivers know the answer to this question? If you are a Hostess "extra man" who drives for a route driver who is on vacation, how is it determined what your pay will be?

Comment: Everybody hear about Timmons fair haired boy Steve Montgomery quitting USB. Couldn't cut it. Sorry to dissapoint guys but Steve is very much still here in Spokane. Steve's a great manager and a great guy in general. We are really glad to have him here. IBC's loss. Now that being said, Ware (VP WA and OR, Zimmerman (who knows what he does) and Hayes (plant manager Spokane) will probably run him out of town. Steve doesn't fit into their cutthroat, asshole, style.

I.B.C. song of the day: Have you ever lived down by the bakery? Have you ever felt the cold wind blow? If you don't know what I mean, Won't you stand up and scream? 'Cause there's things goin' on that you don't know. Too many lives they've thrown to the wolves. Too much money been wasted. Well, until they make it right I hope they never sleep at night They better make some changes And do it soon. They're goin ruin the company we work for, Lord have mercy. They're gonna ruin us all, by and by. I'm telling you all beware I don't think they really care I think they just sit up there And play the game of truth or dare.

Where is this so called tough talking teamsters union?Why would they allow their members to be treated this poorly by this company? What do they think about these long work days[12-15 hours} Where are they ?

break out the kneepads...

To mr buns, i dare you to check in that plant. there is no time to do your job right either.

Lets get this party started..............ok sales do your thing this place is running like a swiss watch..........we left santa some twinkies he left us a rock............Happy New year

To Flowers/Sara Lee/John Holmes/ whoever you are, I personally don't give a fuck. I've been bought-out,layed-off,etc. I'm just trying to stick up for the employees who are left. Now get back in your piece of shit truck and sell your non-union shit bread.

12/26/05, no one working in General office or the profit centers and no department heads working either, must be nice!!!!

Whose the bozo that suggested bringing Bob Hatch back?? Everything he is in now is a mess or bankrupt. But he does have asshole friends at Alvarez and Marsal

MANY ROUTE CUTS,LONG HOURS ,LOST SPACE IN MAJOR ACCOUNTS,DISPLAYS IF YOU CAN GET THEM IN THE STORES,AND NO MANAGEMENT CUTS.DOES THAT REALLY SURPRISE YOU?

Raspmerry Christmas to you Razz. Can you drop some funky lyrics on us today? Ha, ha.

You are so right the teamsters union only cares about collecting dues not about the rank and file and their work place issues."PAY YOUR DUES SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP WE WILL TELL YOU WHAT TO DO""YOU ELECTED US WE ARE HERE TO FILL OUR POCKETS TO HELL WITH THE RANK AND FILE" "WE DON'T CARE.

To all I.B.C. employees: Have a "Raspmerry Christmas".D, puddin'head,TTK, Capt.Cupcake,DT,Pete in Cincy,Cowboy,bhbbc,Tony,Little Timmy,Ron Rountree,Lot 56??,Hostess LA, and to all my fans out there.May you be blessed with happiness and hope.

we poto a metrepoli.

I heard that about Steve. Now what the heck is he going to do?

BIRMINGHAM,ALA.- How are the combo routes doing, number of stops, route averages, shelf space or rack postioning, displays for specials, how many routes were eliminated, any management jobs loss, which there should be,seems like we have more of them, than routemen. You've been doing it for two years, what adjustments have you made. Are you more loyal to one product than the other?

Everybody hear about Timmons fair haired boy Steve Montgomery quitting USB. Couldn't cut it.

Saturday, Dec 24, 10:15. Merry Christmas and God Bless all the workers.

How sad it is that Alvarez looks at the posting on this site and say's to himself, what a bunch of disgruntaled employee? Little does he know until after this company files for chapter 7 and finally goes away that he should have listened to a lot of the post on this site. Each PC has its people in charge that are afraid to speak or tell Alvarez what needs to be done or the cuts in people that should take place. Instead they all shake their heads yes to everything. They do not know how to let Alvarez know whats really wrong or let him know that alot of people in our organization need to be dumped. He will realize after he off doing his next saving of a company not to keep those around that put this company in the condition it still is in. Until these changes are made this company is doomed. 2006 will be the end of this once great company. It too bad those that we know brought this company to its knees got rich during this BK, they will be judged later.

Who took the broken fridge? Did that actually belong to one of the people that got laid off? Did the tough sleeping security guard say anything? LOL! Merry Christmas to everyone!

ok here is the new plan, Put a hitch on all the wonder rolling route stock then tow the millbrook route truck behind the wonder route truck use the millbrook driver as a helper on the route save on trips back to the depot and get good help throwing the millbrook product they already know all the numbers saves fuel just looks a little hookie but come on lets think out of the box here guys!!!!!!!!!!

Have A merry xmas, from your friends at Global, Bimbo's and Fruends..........

Why are all of you been BITCHIN AND MOANING about combo routes?We have had them for years down here in this market.Why have 2 trucks service the same account?

Flowers can't you be nice it is Xmas. Life is to short, to all you, IBC Employees, Merry Xmas. Keep your heads held high, may your families have a joyous holiday . From an retired employee.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!!

This is to the person, or persons who think it's funny to make their mark on others. I hope you read this. It was very disrespecful to go into someone elses pay sheet, and draw your stupid little faces. It was also disrespectful to make your mark on the note that was posted on the Union board about the death of another drivers mother. This is the kind of thing that only causes drivers to have no respect for their fellow workers. It has happened too often that some little coward feels the need to make their mark, and then sit back and feel they have really accomplished something, when in all reality all they have done is something stupid, and uncalled for. Grow up!!

I'll go tally the votes.......Once the votes have been read....you will be asked the LEAVE the teamsters..ROCKY GARCIA, HECTOR FERNANDEZ.

to Razz: there is nothing like an original. keep it truthfull, keep it real, but keep it coming....

Friday, Dec 23, 9:32pm

I.B.C. News Flash: The original "Razz",is alive and well. I started off as (Raspberry ima lifer Z). I morphed into "Lifer", then "Z". Finally, I stuck with Razz. Noone else had that moniker, and it sounded different. The parallelism of a raspberry zinger being good for life, was the same as me being an employee for life at I.B.C. .I thought it was a little humorous at the time. I have light-hearted fun at I.B.C.'s expense. I try to keep it clean , and unless provoked , I limit my negativity towards I.B.C.'s mgt. There is only one "Razz". Also, SFB's was posted on this site by me. I was not inferring, that I coined the phrase first. Anyways, I will continue to have fun on this site. BHBBC, WE RULE!!!!!!!!

IBC DID GIVE US OUR PAY AND SEVERANCE TODAY. Thanks to the TEAMSTERS. Did that little gal ever get some chicken and an xmas gift for her little brother??? Please let us know. Rumor is the twin brother of that "Loader Bill" who died last week picked up Bills IBC checks today and gave them to Bills wife. LOL, dumb IBC manager butt fuckers. Krusty---->THANKS for helping me understand the dangers of IBC and icecream.

If we did away with the mom& pop stores years ago the DSM'S and route men would be living in cardboard condos. How do you think they got what they got today!!!

I wonder if OSHA or EPA ( or the owner of the leased property in Florida) would like to know about how the company put over 26 pounds of miracle grow in the remains of an old lift pit in one of their branches to try and cover up the 100 gallons of hydraulic oil that leaked into the ground in under a one year period. They then filled the pit with a 3-4 feet thick cap of cement. The only thing they forgot was to make sure the oil did not seep up through the ground at a low point like in the water drain in the well where the trucks unload every night. Hmm seems like some pictures of this might have been taken ( two management employees from Buffalo ) along with copies of the PO's for all the hydraulic oil purchased also. Oh lets not forget about all the oil and antifreeze and diesel that has gone down the drains also. Merry Christmas Buffalo

The problem is not the Mom & pops, they should have been dumped years ago. The problem is the number of products and the quality of the products. The end began when the smart guys in charge at ralston decide to discontinue advertising. You need to tell the people what they want, and offer a limited amount of products know for their quality. The route man orders one tray of everything, the customer can't figure out what they want. oh well

The state of our company at Christmas: Twas the night before Christmas and all through the plant; Do you want some overtime? All said ?we can?t?. Her stockings were hung over his office chair; As she tried desperately to fix up her hair. The bun line was down, the bread line was shot; As he tried real hard to fold up the cot. The line supervisors, in the breakroom asleep; While the maintainance department did not give a ?bleep?. All the head honchos were saying goodbye; Their cell phones kept ringing, they didn?t know why. The head of the P.C. was home in his bed; While visions of secretaries danced in his head. When all of a sudden who should appear; Tony Baloney and his bankruptcy gear. His pen and his knife to sign off and cut jobs; While giving huge bonuses to the corporate snobs. The phone rang real loud, who can it be? A twenty dollar a week cash stop, a guy named Ali. He wanted more bread, he was afraid he?d run out. And all you could hear was my D.M. shout: Go out and service him do it today; ?cause we can?t afford to give money away. And if you do not, you will be written up; You will be on the corner asking for change in a cup. Then Tony got into his company sled; Broke out his whip, and he loudly said: On Don Dorr, Dan Angst, Stan Snyder and Kemp; On Randy, on Tony, Orsini and Shemp. You all are my stooges, my dumb little rooks; And me and my cronies are a bunch of crooks. You all soon will go down without a fight; Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

I'm white and a woman... I run into discrimination all the time. I've gotten used to it but from time to time I envision that jerk completely undresses out in the snow and ice at 40 below. Yep that takes care of them. Also you just got to stand up for yourself and if that gets you called a "trouble maker" like Deb so be it. At least if you get nasty with me I know you keep pushing my button.........you are popsicle!

In case anybody noticed, the company management does seem to be sitting on their laurels of yesterday instead of building routes. The company's mission statement should be "we only give a darn about our management. We only want big big accounts because we don't give a darn about the little mom n pop stores. And we sure as hell don't give a darn tooting about the flavor." If they did we would not be in the mess we are in. And why are non direct profit related people getting raises and bonuses in management? Sorry but the workers in the shop, the route guys, the route builders, direct labor should get the bonuses and not managers. Seems like the whole bounuses system is upside down to me. Sure those department heads worked "60 to 80" hours a week. That's because you can see them in the breakroom during your every two hour break and then they haven't moved when you come in for lunch. Read the description for manager...someone who directs the work flow in the most efficent matter. So who is minding the store....guess it's those dumb workers you left on their own. Those are the ones that should get the bonuses!!!!

Just out of curiousity, how can someone tell the real "RAZZ" from an impostor when you are anonymous anyway? I am just a dumb office clerk but what is lot 56 mean? Are you guys insulting each other with some secret code? and if a person uses Razz anywhere in there moniker it means they are impostors too? Just reading thru the comments makes me think Razz is a group of people anyway. You all just sit around the keyboard drinking Coors or Bud Lite and come up with these songs, right? SFB (shit for brains) was one of my father's favorite comments about peeps he worked with since the dawn of time and he's older than dirt so how can this group as "Razz" claim they came up with it?

Speaking as a person who has done plenty of payroll. Miss E payroll has to have a check off list of the employees that get a wage raise or deductions etc. It should have been checked and checked again if she was doing her job right. Our company could have gotten fined out the wazzo for her apparent ineptitude, and gotten a discrimnation suit especially since it was only one person who was overlook twice for wage raises. Excuse me but I can see a slip up maybe the first time but only for a couple of weeks because there is control checks in place to check and see if a person is being paid right . It sounds like someone is not doing their job. But 2 wage increases and it's the same one person. Come on. that's just stupidity and discrimation. I bet that payroll clerk can't even do vacation checks right.

Nothing beats working cake out of a bread truck.It takes longer to load,longer to serve accounts ,etc. Mgmnt hasn't a clue.

I.B.C. song of the day: I kept the right ones out And let the wrong ones in Had an angel of mercy To see me through all my sins There were times in my life When I was goin' insane Tryin' to walk through the pain And when I lost my grip And I hit the floor Yeah, I tought I could leave But couldn't get out the door I was so sick n' tired Of livin' a lie I was wishing that I would die (Chorus) It's amazing With the blink of an eye You finally see the light It's amazing That when the moment arrives You know you'll be alright It's amazing And I'm saying a prayer To the desperate hearts tonight That one last shot's a Permanent Vacation And a how high can you fly with broken wings Life's a journey - not a destination And I just can't tell just what tomorrow brings You have to learn to crawl Before you learn to walk But I just couldn't listen To all that righteous talk I was out on the street Just tryin' to survive Scratchin' to stay alive (Chorus) (To all of you people out there) (Wherever you are - remember:) (The light at the end of the tunnel) (May be you - goodnight) P. S. Life after I.B.C.

Dear Henderson Bob You are right on with your reply to mixed blood, it does get old listening to that same old tune. Everything that happens to these people is racism!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To mixed blood Yes right it's racism everything that happens to minorities is racism. Don' you people get tired of that same lame bullshit?

break out the mason jars...

Bunny Bread... that's what I said

Hey she's a gringa what do you expect. Everybody check your payroll stub each week. She has omitted your pay raise and gets by with it because she's white. Management was made aware that she overlooked one hispanics pay raise for over two years hmmmmmmm. They say they will take care of the raise oversite but it seems pretty suspisous to me that she is mostly doing it to as they say non white colored skin people. After all we are to dumb to know what our pay wage is an this company can just sit quiet. They will fix it alright only when you point it out. Maybe when ohhh look there are pigs flying overhead. Hrumph. Rigggght

The emporia cheif payroll clerk is very undependable for overtime to show up on your check for the week it is supposed to show up on. After many weeks, months of complaining to your supervisor...you might get it. All the while she runs around tee heeing over her mistakes and adjusting that lopsided tirra she wears on her head.

YOU ALL ARE CORRECT ABOUT JACK MCCLAREN AND JIM WILLIAMS, AND RICK KRAUSE. THEY ARE ALL SITTING IN A PLUSH HOME COMPLIMENTS OF IBC. WHILE IBC DWICDLES AWAY TO BIMBO BAKERIES. THE SAD THING IS THAT THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT ANYONES BUT THEMSELVES THEY ARE ALL RITCH NOW AND DO NOT REALLY CARE ABOUT THE FUTURE OF IBC

I wonder how the Bar at Mimos Cafe is doing now that there are no more New Bedford Employees sneaking out the back door of the Bakery, downing some Beer n' Shots and sneaking back into the Bakery? By the way the number one violator was the one always screaming about safety. But it was perfectly safe for him to stumble around the plant drunk. The two Supervisors on duty while the emploees were getting sloshed at Mimos' were the Two Sleeping Beauties. They would spend most of their shift sleeping in the office. No wonder employees have named them in the past on this site as being the two best Supervisors. Why would Sokolove give a Law book to a bumb no it all Green Horn that can't read.

I'm a lonesome loooser baby I'm singing the blues baby Can't find a real job baby Hey,Mr.Twinkie please get me out of lot 56 baby I'm the original razz my jazz baby Sitt'n Smoke'n Drink'n lot 56 baby The best job I ever had but still a loooser baby I'm SFB baby Oh,so lonesome and blue I can't do the Man's boogaloo,baby

Lets add another name to the list of worthless individuals: Steve Heflin, Budgeting & Analysis. This idiot could not cut it in the Audit Department so they sent his butt to Grand Rapids, which they closed after he got there. The boy can not take a hint. But Dan Engdahl, brought this idiot back here to work on budgets. Well Dan quit just as he was about to be fired and left us with this geek/freak heflin. So my question is we have no budget process why does this fool still have a job. All he does each day is create these huge spreadsheets with macros that never work - so he has to resend the same sheet out several times. We know that his head is buried so deep up the Alvarez Teams a** that someone has to provide him with an air tank so he can breath. Tell Heflin to hit the road and take his planner and picture of the stupid dog.

OK people, this will be it for this former IBC employee. I have had a lot of fun on this site but it is time to move on. Remember, all in fun. I hope all of my former brothers and sisters of My Bread find what you are looking for in the future. It truly was a lot of fun over the years and i will always miss it. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you and to all IBC employees current and former. Elbow, please get an e-mail address to me thru you know who. Oh yeah, one last thing, when times get a little tough its 1 glass, ice, and 3 fingers of MAKERS MARK,LOL!!! Long live the SPIDER!!!

If it was not for people like Jim Williams protecting him - Jack McLaren would have been fired many years ago. But since McLaren did what ever Jimmy wanted (hide profit from the big boys in GO) to protect each years targets - Bonus, then he was safe. What ever happened to reporting the actual numbers and being ethical. Sorry I thought we worked for an honest company - my mistake.

Who ever came up with the idea of putting Jack McLaren as a Supply Chain Manager must be a complete idiot. And even worse we have Sam Kafoure (yes Mike's Son) working as one as well in the Northwest / Southeast PC's. He is an idiot he cant handle one but hell well give him two because we will close one soon enough - protect the boss's kid. Then we have the creme de le creme - Rick "dipshit" Krause - could not run a bakery without Jim williams looking over his shoulder - now we make him one of the top dogs in Supply Chain. Fire the whole bunch of idiots in Suplly Chain, they no nothing about the business nor how to actually ship product anywhere. Start with Ralph S., S. Morgan, Rick K, Jack M & S Kafoure they are all worthless f**ks.

Johnny ,I need my law book back.

I just wanted to say to tell everyone listening that bob hates the union he hates his wifes boyfriend he hates when he guts bumped off of "his" run he hates it when people talk about his main squeeze robert I guess I wanna know why doesnt he work for the company?? we know that he likes little boys so why dont he preform those acts of homosexuality with more company executives and get a job with them?? you hate it that I have an assigned truck but yet you think others should I guess I am confused but its hard to see things through your eyes maybe you should do like your brother did... ya think??

This comment is coming in a little late but, it amazes me how Hawkins kept his job as long as he did. He didn't have a clue on how to manage people. I guess it goes back to the IBC slogan " Idiots Back in Charge" and there are still a few in Cincinnati or should I say the Indy PC.

The IBC TRUCK SONG Oh rust and smoke the heaters broke side door lets in the breeze.The radios not ok. Back door gets stuck at every stop, fuel guadge don't work at allal. the tires are bald.it has 463000 miles. Oh the colors white but mostly gone but I drive it every day. Oh rust and smoke the heaters broke side door just blew away and the radios not ok. Put the cake racks in then take them out, then build it into a combo truck. Oh rust and smoke the heaters broke side door lets in the breeze Got no speedo and no headlights but I drive it anyway. Oh rust and smoke the heaters broke the door is is in the parking lot at wall mart. Its a 63 but thats ok I drive it every dayay Oh rust and smoke the heaters broke the door place lets in the breeze,. I'd light a match to see the dash but the fuel tank leaks so bad . Oh rust and sm0ke the heaters broke the radios nottttttt ok.

Good news the ship is not sinking. All the leaks are patched and the ship will resume sailing again.

I love my job, working 15 hrs a day serving half my stops, learning the new streamlined codes so i can f@#$ it up even more! Is it so hard to make the codes all the same whether your on a bread route or combo route?? Cooper your an idiot and all your loser mgmt minions should just go away!!

You got it right Bun Boy, in OC we have only 2 depots. I'm at the 1 with 30 bread routes...It will not work and these morons in Pomona(Cooper,Barquist) could care less. not only is it unsafe but it takes 2-3hr to load. Men are loading up transports and rolling them out to their trucks in the parking lot..No lights, asphalt, accident waiting to happen!! Product missing, no maps, a total failure on the Pomona Mgmt. to think this will work..now or 3-4 weeks down the line. Hey Dumbfucks, how about using the Millbrook depot for 11 routes including the south county ones. Then move 9 routes from Fullerton over to Wonder Santa Ana. You recently signed a lease for Millbrook Santa Ana so use it and give us the room to load . There are routes in Santa Ana that load in Fullerton and then have to drive right by the 2 Santa ana depots!! Listen up Puddinhead, Open up that other depot...NOW

Dear santa, You forgot about the boxing lessons for CRAZY GEORGE

Interstate Brands is to top heavy. They need to get rid if the top guys like Jack Mcclaren, Rick Krause, and the other guys in the corporate office and in the Lenexa bakery. They give bonuses to these guys that are already rich and they wonder why the company os going under??? Pull your heads out of your ass and figure it out.

Hey Santa, just drop them off in the breakroom I think some of those guys are still there.

Merry Christmas to me. I received an early Christmas present today. I start my new job January 9, 2006. I will let ,y IBC supervisor know of my good fortune January 7,2006. No more cake to haul , amen

It's not about not liking our jobs, idiot!That's the whole point. We like our jobs. We like serving our customers, selling IBC, working our territories, but we can't do it now under this unbelievable load heaped upon us by IBC brass. There is NO time for service. Just throw and go. There is NO time to build business when we are perpetually late. The way they want us to run routes now will only result in lost business. But I guess we route people are the only ones who even care about now. Such a shame to see a once proud company go down this road.

To Razz-the real one: That quote is from the movie "The Wolfman". The version with Lon Chaney Jr, Bela Lugosi and Claude Rains. The "Old Gypsy Woman" says that to the wolfman as he is dying, releasing him from his curse. Befitting, don't you think?

To bhbbc: Very Prophetic!!!!!!

To all the soon to be laid off workers: "the way you walked was thorny, through no fault of your own. but as the rain enters the soil, the river enters the sea, so tears run to a predestined end. your suffering is over, my sons. now you will find peace"...

Praise the colorectal surgeon, Misunderstood and much maligned, Toiling in the heart of darkness, Working where the sun don't shine!

I.B.C. song of the day: The Alarm Clock Rings, I Open My Eyes And Watch The Yellowed White Of My Room's Ceiling The Dull Light Of The moon is shining through my window Raindrops Are Hitting The Ground The Splattering Sound Promises Me A Day Full Of Depressive Thoughts I Torture Myself Out Of Bed It's Time To Go To Work Live Your Life In Your Own Way Free And Full Of Fun Keep On Smiling Every Day Think - But Never Get Depressed Follow The Golden Rule Never Loose Your Humor, Man Never Forget - N.L.Y.H.

Life goes on.....

To imposter Razz : Have you heard about that lonesome loser ? Beaten by the "King of Razz" everytime. Have you heard about that" Lonesome Loser"? He's a" Loser" , but he still keeps on trying. P.S. You are now a current card carrying member of the "Lonesome Loser Club". We normally make fun of I.B. C. you SFB's idiot. Do you know what SFB stands for? I came up with that one myself. It describes individuals like you.

Were outa here!

Last one out - make sure you turn off the lights and lock the door.

Xmas luncheon was excellent as usual, the Vendors really know how to put out a spread. They all feel sorry for us since we have to work so hard during the holidays to get this Company back on the right track. More closures coming after the Holidays.

Thanks for the supportive Xmas Cards, you really do like me.

TO all you cry baby route drivers, if you don't like your job---- QUIT

Well Lakewood is almost gone. Swanson will have to figure out a way to go to the casino every day during work. Schuler will still be a tyrant. Garcia will still have his stag meeting in his office every day. Timmons will have to watch his porn at home. Somethings never change!!!!!!!!!! Merry Christmas

the essense of fruit cake....properly made can last up to 25 years before it goes bad...sooooooo. Just put those over ordered puppies in the freezer. Relabel next year they're still good. So something else can survive a nuclear strike. FRUITCAKE!!

What 16 hours day-11:00, had 3 stops to finish

IBC Song of the day lot 56 for the imposters baby jerks on lot 56 baby long neck bottle for you baby leaving soon baby but I'm a loooooser baby this board is my life baby send me some weed and a red neck can of lite baby oh baby I,m such a looooser

to anon in st.louis Thirteen hour days? Five hundred in truck stock? You pussy, the average here was a grand in truck stock and sixteen hour days. This is with the supervisers running routes too. I was just kidding about being a pussy, merry fucking christmas. Merry christmas to my buddies that are working their seven day notices this week, good luck.

Bonus?!!! You stinin manager. We don't get no stinkin bonus as hourly, you spoiled brat!!! Sjpeain of which if the compabny is supposedly tighting it's belt there should be NO BOUNUS for anyone. Profit, you remember where the company is running in the black not red and performance is what bonuses should be based on. Also those little perks were orginally supposed to be employee shared ie the hourly but you never did share. So much for the morale. HO HO HO HO

It wont be long and those bland white trucks you drive will have some yellow on them. Thats what I said BUNNY BREAD

Sweeney gone. Yes Virginia ,there is a Santa Claus.Maybe Lee Schuh will work at the North Pole to run the reindeer operation.Santa wil give him a sleigh so he can commute from southern Delaware,while the elves take a pay cut to pay for extra hay for Lees' reindeer.

Christmas lunch, what christmas lunch? We will get a loaf of raisin bread that will be at least 4 days old. Oh, I forgot its not the gift its the thought. What kind of message does this send to the employyees? Give em a stale loaf of bread. Thanks

Kansas City Star 12/20/05 And while the Company says its liquidity situation has improved and that it has enough cash to operate for the upcoming fiscal year, it still has delayed its annual and quarterly regulatory fillings.

my new company also gave me a rather nice lunch [baked stuffed shrimp],life is good out of IBC

Anybody know how we did for Year End? I have Xmas presants on layaway and need that bonus money that I get. When will the checks be in the mail?

I was at that meeting in Philly with the General. The machine gun sound effects and the strobe lights gave me vertigo. I was dry-heaving all the way home.

I.B.C. song of the day: On the twelfth day of Christmas, my Tony sent to me Twelve Hummers humming, Eleven pipers piping, Ten loads a-leaning, Nine ladies dancing, Eight French maids a-milking, Seven swan songs singing Six geese a-laying bonus checks Five golden Twinkies, Four calling cards, Three French whores , Two Simpson's Lip Syncing, And a Dolly Parton in a bare tree! P.S. THANKS TONY MERRY XMAS

Life after the bakery is not that bad. My new co. fed me a wonderful xmas lunch today, and gave me a gift. WOOOOOOOOO

Can you say OVERTIME..........................?????? hahahahahaha

Story has it that a couple of years ago Gomer Pyle ,aka John Sweeney, put on a show in Philly Bakery dressed up as General Patton. Had the smoke and mirriors thing down pat. Little did we know. Well he decides to run a fruitcake promo with Wal Mart and orders about 20 thousand 16 dollar fruitcakes. Wal Mart sale doesnt fly so he has the Hostess drivers put it out on route. Imagine a 16 dollar fruitcake on your route. Oh and lest we forget he had the drivers buyback the fruitcakes so they could be resold. The perfect Holiday treat....Nunbnuts and Fruitcake BWAAAHAAAAHAAAA.

TO THE IMPOSTER: Get a life dude. I drink Bud Light long necks iced down. Unfortunately, I havenot been let go. Pretty soon , I will not have to worry about jerks like you.I will leave when the job I am seeking is available.

How is Glen Turner doing since taking the Prodution Managers job in Henderson?

Q Who is General Fruitcake A John Sweeney

To bhbbc: Ho! Ho! Ho! Very funny!!!!!!!!

Brother from another Mother

John Sweeney

Second day of hostess / dolly combo routes. Things have gone bad. 13 hour days and cant even get the route done. $500 truck stock each day. What a great idea.

Who is General Fruitcake?

Amen Brother from Biilings,Montana the "Big Sky Country" .They can shut the hell up or find another job,I know damn well Tony is holding them all hostage and making them work.Lived in Great Falls and Billings in 1967-68.Man talk about cold.

we all want to know in vegas. is that judith in havasu. a man are a women????????? i heard she was on sick leave? she must of got her sex change. wellshe was gone. she's your brother

Tuesday, Dec 20, 5:28pm

we all want to know in vegas. is that judith in havasu. a man are a women????????? i heard she was on sick leave? she must of got her sex change. wellshe was gone

King Geee, I am on your side, baby! Let me know if you need back up or someone to shove yet ANOTHER gallon of ice cream down Krusty's throat.

If it's true that the General has fallen on his sword then I will hold out hope that we can turn this thing around. It shows the average grunt working for this company that there will be accountability for failure. How many routes came off and how many jobs were lost because of this fool? I spent the whole day today trying to minimize the damage to my sales due to cut product, crappy product, frozen product and mistakes in the hand-held. I'm trying make sure everyone gets decent service on a route that goes all over creation. I'm trying to work smart and work hard and learn three codes for every product from Philly. It was a lousy day on top of a very lousy first week. If the General is truly gone, then it was well worth it. I don't care what bum they bring in........any change is good change.

General Fruitcake The rumor is that the Great General Fruitcake has turned in his resignation. The facts are that he has probably been fired. Did they walk you to the guard shack John? BWAAAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Can you feel the love........ General Shit for Brains........ On Schmidts, On Stroemann, On Wonder, and Del Campo. The Asshole of the ages has finially gone under.

To anon. in glendale, are you talking about pomona???

For those of us who look forward in anticipation as I.B.C hierarchy continues to retain the title of kings of the cluster fuck. Was not Mondays So Calif move into the future more than was promised and expected. Oh my god the shear number and quality of the cluster fucks was magnanimous! Showing once again the total clueless ness in daily operations has upper management . BRAVO!!!! I say you have out done yourselves once again. I wont even get into the long term effects . Sort term is more enjoyment than one route man can bare .We will all enjoy them as they come. I am sure the frequency will increase.

Older timers aren't stupid, they are going to stick this out, get what is coming to them and they will adjust to these route changes,and continue to do whatever it takes to get through this. As for hiring younger help, they don't stick around long enough, for this occupation to get into their blood.

These guys are worse than the jerks in Washington who vote themselves payraises and they raise our taxes to cover the increase. Now rememeber they want to protect Social Security for us working class - but they do not contrinute to the Social Security they contribute to their own pension. Sound familiar - same thing happens here no pay raises for all non union personnel but they in upper management found a solution to that - they get BONUSES (either preformance or retention or both) for the year. Some of these fools will bring down more that 100k just in bonuses this year along with that nrand new Company Car, open -ended expense account and other perks. In total close to $250k in perks.

Hell no Alvarez knows nothing about the baking industry - he has actually stated in meetings. The problem is neither do the fools who are currently in top management positions both at the general office and in the profit centers. They have been out of touch for so long.

Planning Xmas party for the main office - this years theme - Blue Christmas. For the stone I am buying the wife with this quarters check. For the color of the water where I'll spend my vacation this winter. For the color of the Jag I'll be buying next year. Oh yeah for the poor slackers now out of jobs at the plants. LMAO.

Does Alvarez know anything about how to run a business???? I think not! Closing plants is not the answer. We didn't get any raises while the corporate guys got new cars! NOT FAIR! THIS JOB SUCKS!

Why would you complain about working at IBC. Freaking quit and find another job.

What do you expect that let so called Retail Sales Manager steal from this Plant for years - reason why - He is Mike Kafoure's Son-In-Law. The boy quit and now they say he was a theif - but will they prosecute NO - would make MK look bad. So anyone guess how much MK got of the deal. Nothing different than the past (TW) Controller either he was stealing from the plant to nothing ever happened to him either. His wife did make special trips to the Transportation department a lot though. IBC will never do anything about these crooks Past or Present - to many skeletons is the closet that would come out and then all of the employees would learn of the theiving bastards in management.

Ok, here is my christmas version: Lazy jerks Lazy jerks Working at IBC... Oh what fun is to slack off while managers are are going poddy Lazy Bums Lazy Bums Blame Alvarez for everything don't worry ,"i'm in a union" I'll complain everyday that my jobs sucks But contunue to work here becuase I'm too lazy to find another. I spend all day on this board and then complain that I'm too busy LAZY BUMS!

Update from the trenches - Smith is actually gloating about his successes this year like the fact that L Jones quit in Denver (ex ASM) and the fact that all of the Dolly Routes are now gone in Texas. He is still after S Williams, G Godwin, L Beck (Smith really hates these guys all either worked with Bob Morgan or Jim Williams and still have contact with them, especially S Williams - Son). Smiths goal is to fire each and every one of the three so he can bring in more of his cronies - so he can continue to steal from IBC. Now you be careful driving that new Company Car back to St. Louis to see the kiddies - and make sure you use that Company Gas Card as well. And don't forget to stop at the Flying J along I-70 so that you can say it was business trip (bastard). Did your new shirts arrive yet so you will have that new IBC Xmas outfit for the famliy dinner. Make sure you spend that bonus check on the wife not the bimbo this year. When did we take Eastern Iowa back from the NCPC - seems old Charlie had to make a special trip back to Davenport. Someday you will get BUSTED and we all will be there to watch you go down in FLAMES. I just hope to be around long enough to see them place the cuffs on you when the police arrive to arrest your theiving a**.

To say no to IBC, You are so right they need you to play poker. Now wake up, bend over so they can play poker. Gotta love that brown eye.

The fun has finally begun. Drivers working from 1am till 5pm. Cake drivers running bread. Bread drivers running cake. Supervision runnig around mindlessly. Arguments, call-ins, threats...etc. $16,000 ordered on a $7000 route. Ah, yes, & no bosses to be found. Merry Christmas, gang.

Oh, what to say? I did work for IBC and I have been gone now for a while. Life is absolutely outstanding without having to discuss all of the crapola that goes on every day within the IBC organization. I make in excess of $300K per year--take home--yes NET PAY! I made less than 20% of that with IBC. I can't believe that I sacrificed several years of my life for such a poorly run company. If you could see me now boys:) A beautiful home, a very nice bank account, golf twice a week, white sand vacations, no headaches, no Alvarez--Actually got out before he ever came along--got to know when to cut and run. Just think everyone; if you would just channel your energy into another venture instead of with this company that is going NOWHERE. You too could be on top of the world. Gotta run folks. It's 3pm and the boys at the country club need a fifth person to play poker with this afternoon. Man, You gotta love my life. Wake up folks, you too could have what I've got.

Its running who knows for how long, till new years we hope.............

That christmas story was GREAT!!!!!!! I'm thinking about reading it to my family on Christmas eve as i open up my unemployment check wrapped up under the tree....Merry Christmas you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The state of our company at Christmas: Twas the night before Christmas and all through the plant; Do you want some overtime? All said ?we can?t?. Her stockings were hung over his office chair; As she tried desperately to fix up her hair. The bun line was down, the bread line was shot; As he tried real hard to fold up the cot. The line supervisors, in the breakroom asleep; While the maintainance department did not give a ?bleep?. All the head honchos were saying goodbye; Their cell phones kept ringing, they didn?t know why. The head of the P.C. was home in his bed; While visions of secretaries danced in his head. When all of a sudden who should appear; Tony Baloney and his bankruptcy gear. His pen and his knife to sign off and cut jobs; While giving huge bonuses to the corporate snobs. The phone rang real loud, who can it be? A twenty dollar a week cash stop, a guy named Ali. He wanted more bread, he was afraid he?d run out. And all you could hear was my D.M. shout: Go out and service him do it today; ?cause we can?t afford to give money away. And if you do not, you will be written up; You will be on the corner asking for change in a cup. Then Tony got into his company sled; Broke out his whip, and he loudly said: On Don Dorr, Dan Angst, Stan Snyder and Kemp; On Randy, on Tony, Orsini and Shemp. You all are my stooges, my dumb little rooks; And me and my cronies are a bunch of crooks. You all soon will go down without a fight; Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

I heard that a lot of the former New Bedford employees have been to the Welfare Dept. applying for food stamps. Now that the Bakery is closed they can't fill their LUGGAGE with Bread when they leave work every day. The New Bedford Plant was the only place I ever worked where the employees brought luggage to work every day. It was usually the soft kind. It would be thin when they came to work and bulging when they left work. And now they all critisize the ethics of senoir management. What a joke!! What hypocrites!!!

Inquiring minds want to know? How did Glendale bakery do after they fixed and repaired all the rides at he circus?

Charlie Smith is a scum bag!!!! He killed our bakery He is a Republican impeach him!!!!

Thanks for the song RAZZ my IDOL of lot 56 Trailer Trash Barbie Doll for you my man

Shiller Park????????? When did IBC,give up the Butternut trademark,Hell I worked in Ohio under the Teamsters state wide contract and Butternut,Dolly Madison,Wonder,Hostess all operated under IBC,they sold some bakeries off in Texas,and Carolina,s but none under the Butternut name.

When IBC bought Hostess and Wonder Bread, they had to give up one of the brand name breads. They could not keep both Wonder and Butternut, so they sold the Butternut label. So, how is this going to work this time, if supposedly, Lewis(Butternut), buying parts of IBC? Is Lewis buying Dolly Madison, Hostess and Wonder Bread? What happens to routemen, when we purchased Butternut, their routemen,waited to see if they had a job. Will Buttenut routemen be protected, and IBC, cake and bread routemen,retain,if needed?

IBC song of the day They call me Razz,baby Tony fired me because I' m looooser baby I drink cheap beer and smoke weed baby Tony fired me and I don't know why,baby I'm real lonely here on lot 56 baby buy me a beer baby also buy me a life baby here on lot 56,baby

I sit and think, Is Hostess is trouble? Are they going to make it? But then reality sets in and I remember that we have the Race Car Divas coming on board. That will turn this picture around fast. OMG, then I wake up. This place is screwed.

Comment: At our recent sales meeting in Phoenix we were told by Gary Vesterby that "it is no secret that IBC is going to try and come out of bankruptcy in June". He also said that we are currently in Phase 2 of a three phase strategy. Phase 3 is to consolidate the profit centers and to "consolidate" upper management positions. ...and unlike E.F. Hutton, when Gary Vesterby talks....NO ONE listens. he's an idiot from way back.

Can you guys explain this new route thing to us morons that work inside the bakery would like to hear more details Pomona

Ex-Employee here ..Who lost jobs and how many in Pomona?

FIrst day of combined Milbrook/Wonder routes---worked 14 hours --didn't get to 4 stops. Guy who loads next to me worked 15 hours hit 4 of 12 stops. Expect more of the same tomorrow. I hate to say it can't be done--but....

I.B.C. song of the day: Oh yes, I'm the great pretender, (ooh ooh) Pretending I'm doing well, (ooh ooh) My need is such I pretend too much, I'm lonely but no one can tell. Oh yes I'm the great pretender (ooh ooh) Adrift in a world of my own (ooh ooh) I play the game but to my real shame, I had to steal your name . I had to conceal. Ooh, ooh, yes, I'm the great pretender (ooh ooh) Just laughing and (ooh ooh) I seem to be what (ooooh) I'm not (you see) Pretending is the name of this game. Yeah, ooh hoo P.S. S4N it was difficult , but I finally came up with a song for the imposter.

Oh poor rats - they no longer have anything to eat anymore. We closed their branch and now they will starve!! How can 100+ chiwawa-size rats survive without all that cake and bread to feast on every day? Looks like hard times for the rats, too....

To S4N: Some idiot imposter used my name, for that last song. You know I can do a much better job.

Sorry, everyone I relocated to a non union bakery and now I get better pay and 401K ,

S4N, Song just for you- I'm a loooooser,sweet baby I have stale cake for you baby stale is up sales down baby let's go back to Liberty Town and have fun baby let's go pimpn in my 78 Buick baby lot number 56 baby I'm a looooser baby
