International Baking Industry Exposition educational program to focus on leadership! Mr Jung are you going? Is anyone from IBC going?

Sooo Long Jamaica, NY. We will be able to show a profit due to this sale.

Heres the plan fellers. Pick a number of Plants in different areas, make them look real pretty by planting flowers and slapping a little paint on the walls and make a place for everything , and everything in its place. This is suppose to make everyone fell better about thier job and coming to work. They want a reduction in work force or other savings for this improvement to work nothing comes free. Here's the plan. Organizing Your Workplace With The "Five S" Process. 1. Sort: Remove all items from the work area that are not immediately needed for the job at hand. This includes tools, documents, containers and equipment. 2. Set in Order: Everything left in the work area should have a designated place. 3. Shine: Clean up the area to consistently make it look good. 4. Standardize: Develop procedures that will keep things like new. 5. Sustain: Follow the procedures developed for maintaining an orderly workplace. This requires discipline not to cut corners. If the procedures are not followed, old habits will resurface, and the benefits that come from an orderly workplace will be lost. There you have it, the Five S's. This will be another loser program like SOAR, SAP. Think of it like whenever the Government wants to do something it usually gets screwed up?

Jamaica bakery and adjoining property has been sold to the city for $600 million--to be converted into a new subway station-- bakery to close in fall of 2007

Yep, we got letters. So the low cal products are saving the day............They want to work with the unions. For what, another pay cut? Screw you, if you want to save some real money, CUT the overtime the shipping and transport foremen are getting and maybe get rid of 2 shipping managers. ...............Its insane that Jernigen and Schoenberg are allowing this crap to go on. THERE ARE WAY TO MANY LEADERS IN THIS COMPANY.

Heard that our new Safety Incentive is if you work safe and not have any accidents during the month of July you will receive a set of Dominos.

Twink boy? That sounds kinda gay to me. You and Mikehal Jackson, hey?

What do you mean, just leave and find another job? You're going to have to pay me big time to get rid of me. Know what I mean, Vern?

I hear the head men had a big meeting today, did I leave just in time? What is the news? Are more plants closing? That is what I hear. See Ya Glendale.

Letters with paychecks explaining that they still don't have a clue on how to get out of Bankruptcy. But there is still money that can be squeezed out of this orange. Look at it as we are all getting off one roller coaster and we are about to get on another roller coaster. Those that already have a sick stomach should get off now.

BIG NEWS IN SAN DIEGO ON FRIDAY.

Hey “H” STFU and read more of the posts on this site. IBC is a poorly managed company that’s anti anyone who is not one of The Good Ol Boys.

You will see more of reducing the size and keeping or raising the price. RSR's start looking for the truck you want to buy. Management start looking for a job.

It did look sore of like a Family Gathering at the meeting didn't it.

Keeping score cards on all personell. One supervisor over how many people? Did the score card instructions come with a instruction booklet with BIG LETTERS & crayons so the managers could get the best usage out of it? Did the instructions say select one employee out of many and when they come in to work follow them around relentlessly. Did it say walk behind them so close if they stop, you would run over them? Did it say stalk them to their work station and then act puzzled because they are actually working and not running off to the breakroom like management does. Did it say stand there like an idiot and pretend to be drinking water for several minutes? Did it say to follow them outside of work?

Hmmmm....Herbie uses the royal "we". Herbie is either several or one female. Which is it?

Well the big news from the meeting in KC is this......... absolutly NOTHING Just business as usual. That mean more shitty product (If you get it). More route cuts. More shitty trucks to drive. No mechanics to fix them. ( My brakes went out yesterday and the mechanic told me to try to drive it back to the agency) More big shots to steal what money there is coming in and saving the best for last......... NO GOD DAMN RAISES AGAIN! Go IBC. But my boss tol dme to make sure my stale is under 7%. Thats not a problem. I get cut enough stuff to keep it under 7% anyway.

Dolly bread?

MLK, you are a sad little turd! Tell us what RECP means, if not mind your own fucking business.

I see a lot of quality (or lack of) complaints on here. drivers have complained about these for the last 2-3 years. The problems are well known by everyone and NO ONE in IBC upper management will do ANYTHING to correct these problems because: (1 ) They have no clue and don't know how. ( 2) The management has already ran the company bankrupt and they have no money to make improvements cause the they couldn't get their raises and bonuses for running the company into the ground. (3) They really don't give a damn about the customer So if you want to the same stale, moldy, dried out , burnt product, just keep buying IBC product. I would highly reccommend it so the big bosses can keep getting them bonuses !!!! Or you could buy the same products from other companies and get better quality, better tasting, fresher product at usually lower prices. YOUR CHOICE . For those customers who have written, you can call IBC at their Kansas City office and complain. They will apologize and falsely tell you they will fix the problem and send you a free coupon for more IBC stale, dry, burnt product. Who would want it though ??

I'm a little late (as usual), but what happened on may 23rd, I never heard anything before of after

Now this new CEO wants to make bread in a pop bottle so that everything looks the same and of course he's bringing all his boys from pepis over to get there share of any monies left over from Alvarez.

When is the Dolly bread coming out? How has it affected the route peoples commisions? ......................................In northwest not much going on with that. Some c-stores, wal-mart, still haven't seen it in kroger stores, though I hear it's in some. We are supposed to get 1% commission for yearly net sales, divided by all routes, so about .02%. still waiting on that. commissions haven't been affected much. Haven't seen bread yet.

Did something happen in San Diego that you want us to know about? Is the Chief Engineer still there? Did the Sanitation Manager have anything to do with it?

How is the new Dolly direct program working? What areas have they rolled it out in? What areas are next? When is the Dolly bread coming out? How has it affected the route peoples commisions?

I keep hearing about all these changes coming and the end is almost here, I say, bring it the F--k on, lets get the ball rolling you incompetent limpdicks.

Check out how much our shipping managers make: 80k, 60k and 60k. The best part is they have 1 Shipping foreman and 2 transport foremen generating all there reports for them. Get rid of the MANAGER that is allowing this to happen and save this company some money. Maybe put one of these foremen in as the lead manager, atleast they know what to do.............

Scorecard, what a waste of time and manpower to do this report.

I'm a non-union manager. Please IBC let the union handle our health and welfare package. The union has better benefits then I now have as a company manager. My union worker are retiring and at least they continue to have medical benefits while I have to stay here and die a slow death. If I only could go back and do it over again, but it too late now.

overtime????? whats that we have no such thing.

The Waterloo Bakery is another dinosaur thats being considered for closure. Your baker runs too slow for the wages we are paying.

Cut that "SAP" created Profit Center managers off the payroll. Let the plants turn in their informantion direct to GO. Save Millions there

Ah yes they told us the benefit for the company to have all us hourlies to pay part of our insurance at $75 a month and step up to bat and pay $30 co-pay; that would save IBC $7 million a month alone. hmmmmmm has anyone looked at the cash flow report lately.....oh that's right IBC still has to get current with it's reports...... SAP was supposed to do that so everyone would have up to the minute real time information......the cost of converting to SAP hid a lot of missing information......and all Paul got was a lousy $50 thousand dollar fine that IBC paid of course. Where the hell is JUSTICE?

QUESTION: Do you IBC Merita Route Salesmen get overtime pay when you work over 40 hours? How about holiday pay?

The company sure could show a profit if they cut the payroll on the leadership. Everyone on the top has an assistant and down the line of leadership all the way to the stupervisor. He has the assistants also and their called lead men. Union people that make a dime more os so. Everyone likes to have alot of assistants because thats less work they have to do. Here its like politics. Not what you know but who you know. Theres not much anyone can do as thats the way of the world. Just like the city worker that has to dig a hole and make street repairs. 6 people come to the job and only 1 is working. Same here. Plenty of waste to be found.

The end is near.

Who leaked the info. on the Costco's? Haven't heard from ' the insider" in a while. Do we have another one?

IBC !! GREAT NEWS!!! Net (Loss) $(3,751,364) for this period !!! You know they are hi-fivin each other saying what a good job they are doing. Someone needs to start trimming the herd down. If I was in charge, I'd be eliminating enough off our bloated payroll to show a profit. For a start I'd say goodbye to Lonnie and his group, Rowdy and his group, Sanitation would be bye bye, and why do we need so many Field Safety Managers and Human Resource Managers? If you need more suggestions just let me know. After we trim the herd back we can have a Bar-B-Q.

CLOSE THE F----- DOORS, i WANT MY SEVERANCE CHECK. tHAT SHOULD BE GOOD FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS OFF IN A ROW

IBC !! GREAT NEWS!!! Net (Loss) $(3,751,364) for this period !!! ONLY $771,229 is attributed to Restructuring & Reorganization Charges which means IBC just had their VERY BEST 4 week sales period of more than $234 million dollars in months and STILL managed to lose $3,000,000.00 or almost a million per week from operations. That is after subtracting all the Restructuring & Reorganization Charges. What are these idiots doing ?? They don't have a clue!! There is good news though !! We have a manager in Kentucky who is doing his best to improve company profits. I heard he gets paid pretty well by IBC for practicing nude modeling for a female employee while at work. Makes you think twice about them Twinkies, HUH ??? Net Income (Loss) $ (3,751,364)

drop ship to costco means more route cuts.

Drop shipments? Could this be more work for transport?

Drop shipments coming soon to all cost cos. All you route people that are affected, make sure you get your guaranty.

Heard through the grapevine, Mr. Jung want reseach department to come up with a loaf of bread in the shape of a 2-liter soda bottle. All the Marketing fellers, fearful of losing their jobs are shaking there heads with approval chanting "Sell Bread Make Dough"

Now that we are doing the Scorecard to make it look like our clueless have somthing to do back in Kansas City, can someone explain to me what they are looking for in this useless information?

Why are all the transport foremen working on a down day? Is there some big meeting or is this just another way to get thier 20+ hours of overtime? If you are doing a something a driver can do, why didn't you go to the extra board?????????? Whats really going on? Is there some big secret?

I never thought it would be possible for ONE Corp. to continously fail mth after mth!!!....And the last 2 comments are soooo fucking true! The Bastids at the very very top are the ones fucked up....they havent a clue!!! Im soooo fuckin glad i dont work there anymore....MY GAWD!!!!

Re: Anonymous Date: 2007-06-18 This company has taken advantage of enough people. They only give out a pay raise when someone threatens to leave, is this really fair to the ones that have been sticking around trying to do our share to pull this company out of BK? Sometimes enough is enough, Most of us are just waitng for a class action lawsuit to come along so that we can teach this company another lesson on how to treat people right. Some how this company just doesn't get it. They will take care of the "Good Ole Boys" but for some reason don't like to pass it along. Take a good hard look and see who we have hired or promoted? A lot of these individuals don't have the slightest idea what they are doing. We have hired more people to do the same shite we use to do with less, its no wonder why we continue to lose money month after month. This Company filed for Bankruptcy yet we operate like we are making all kinds of money. there is no faith in the leadership that is running this company. We are doing what ever is asked and being lead by the mindless. No one asks questions anymore just do as you are told. People have suggestions but no one will listen. Sucessful companies don't ignore these simple business rules.

Hey Kiss Ass in Henderson, you must be one naive & stupid SOB if you don't understand why some of these people are so pissed at IBC. You sound like a new supervisor or manager? You probably got hired in at a much higher salary than some of these guys that have many years of blood, sweat and tears invested into this company. You are probably highly motivated by the excellent salary IBC is paying you and of course by the prospect of a promotion and of the higher salary if you keep jumping through the hoops. What motivation do you think these old timers have? By the virtue that they have not received a raise since the company went bankrupt and the ever increasing cost of living, they, in reality have taken a substantial pay cut. The company expects them to do the same work (actually, more work because not only do they have all this paperwork, but they also have to train you new sorry assholes to replace them) that you are so happily performing, for far less money than you. I think they feel a sense of betrayal. So, go ahead you f*ck*ng asshole, feel free to criticize all you want without knowing what the f*ck you are talking about.

As reported on Reuiters news group, Union talks with the grocery chains not looking so good. looks like another strike in Calif.

Still no guesses? Heres one more hint........This manager has two blue hats doing his job for him, because his assistants don't know what to do................

Your right Anonymous!! My Deepest apologies to Harry Ball Sack! ( big wet kiss on Harry Ball Sack) Declassified Top Secret stole my identity and my accusation of Harry stole my dignity. (SORRY)

To Harry Ball Sack from Tulsa : Apparently you like to steal Screen Names to post something lame; then reply to yourself in the next post. I'm the real FamilyGuy. Your posts are not needed to sit in a dark room and talk to yourself. We can't recieve real information on this sight with this kind of identity theft. We should trust each other ( but not the company )

The daily score cards don't mean a thing due to the fact that you only put the numbers in you want them to see just like all the other reports that are done. Put down the true facts so the problems can be fixed you are not getting a raise again this year so why hide the truth.

No guesses????? Heres another hint; He takes his breaks at the NEXTEL STORE......................FLIRTING WITH LARGE GIRLS.

Fat, stupid and drunk is no way to go through life son. RECP!

Dear Anonymous Henderson Nevada. It's quite alarming that you take pride in wanting to help drive this company out of business. You refrence daily scorecards, & other reports. Most employees are unaware that the Managers in Operations are required to perform these reports. I find it repulsive that you as a Manager want to be counted in to put thousands of your co-workers out of work. Our responsibilties should include doing whatever it takes to help keep our employee's working. So I for one will continue the daily scorecards and any and all reports necessary to keep my fellow workers employed. With Managers like you, only concerned for themselves it's no wonder that some of the Bakeries are failing. When you can truly look your employees in the eye and they can see that you truly care about them then you will find success. Because it really doesn't matter what company you are working for, with your attidude your bound to fail.

Mr. Smith I did not appreciate your elbow in my back as you walked by out of your meetings. joking about another group of sales coming back to Emporia. Would you kindly keep your hands to yourself!

Ok everyone, its time to fill out those yearly pay raise evaluations for a raise you are not going to get.

Yep, count me in on pushing IBC stock to under $2.00 or lower. We need to put this animal out of his misery. With scorecards and other reports its time to throw in the towel.

Hey B McCool alias Old Timer....Sounds like u been spending too much time in Springfield yourself, u seem to know too much of what goes on down there...lol.....Dickweed!

I heard Henderson lost there production manager again!! Does anyone know if this is true???

hey sac want to know why we are limited on the items that we can get out of colombo bakery.i know you got some nice restaurant product

To Harry Ball Sack: the real truth is Springfeild is one of IBC's old time 20th centurys bakerys that were 30 years behind times when the 2 companys merged, in fact all of IBC's bakery were and are like that. All you people in MO. are just stupid hillbillys that sit around drinking moonshine and sleeping with your daughters. So when they close that piece of shit just all of you stay up there and strave because if you come to Tulsa we will butt f**ked and send you home.

Too...> De-Classified TOP Secret .....The reason Jim Hutton is at Tulsa ...You all too stupid to run that plant By yourself...AND...We're not..we do good enough with no Sanatation supervisor.. And NO..I REPEAT...NO Production Supervisor...WE Are JUST THAT GOOD.......We Have the Best Engineer dept of You all...We're Just That good... You All SUCK!!!!!

Does it really matter???? Name: Anonymous Date: 2007-06-16 Location: Location:Pomona, CA Comment: southern california cutting items and cutting routes but how many is the question????anybody know?

Family Guy in Springfield...The writing is on the wall !! Your first clue should have been Jim Hutton leaving to run Tulsa...Yhis got him familar with the Tulsa Plant and its Operations, next when they took out your equipment to run sandwich bread and left you to depend on other plants to run your product while you were told to run the failed brown bag $3.00 a loaf product which flopped badly, you should know by now YOU ARE BEING PHASED OUT !!! Sorry to give you the bad news always stinks !1 But you have time to still find another job before they give you a 60 days notice, or you could wait and draw your severance pay and unemployment !! As long as you know its coming soon, SORRY !! But that's why they sent Jim Hutton to Tulsa, they wanted him in place when they shut the doors on Springfield.

Anybody heard anything more about Springfield? I am just holding on hoping we don't get shutdown like everyone says. We all work really hard here and I feel like we don't deserve to be let go. Why don't the people in charge let everyone now what is really going on so we could get on with our lives and not have to worry so much?

Never meet a more fake person in my life than jamie fishkin she only thinks of herself and no one else, do not believe me just ask her for help with anything and watch her dissapear

There is a certain manager who's credability is waning. Do you know who it is? Will he do the right thing?..................Check back here in a few days and we will tell you or make a guess. Heres a hint: His looks are one of a kind. No other manager shares similar looks

southern california cutting items and cutting routes but how many is the question????anybody know?

To KL: Good for you , in finding new employment. I did over a year ago , and I work normal hours off weekends and same benefits. I was only with IBC for 10 years , but it seemed like 20. I enjoyed most of my time with the company because of the benefits . I saved over $100,000 in my 401 K. It got to be so negative , working at IBC that I had to get a new job. The new company I work for is family oriented and is positive in every aspect at all times. They go the extra distance in making their employees very happy. It was one of the most difficult decisions I have ever had to make. People do not realize how great it is to work in a positve environment. People tell me what a changed person I have become, because of the job change. All I can say is think outside the "Twinkie". These people think that this is the only job out there. That is just a cop out, pretty soon they will be forced to find new work. Guess what??? They may struggle at first , but they will be "Smilin' in the End"....

If you want things to change posting here is not going to fix anything GO to HR and make a complaint then if there is no action bitch about it here stupid ass

Do we need all these extra people in the distribution department putting up out side purchase product. do we need a foreman on this shift, he walks around threatening, following,intimidate employees . He does his intimidation in front of Ray Nicholas and Joe Saldana and nothing is done. All the top managers and Human Resource knows about this and every one seems to ignore this. Both these guys Joe Saldana and Robert Mosqueda got fired from Orowheat bakery for fighting and threatening employees and they got hired by IBC and they are doing the same over here. Please put a stop to this before some one gets hurt.

All you losers who think chris ruiz would have been a better chief engineer should go join him not even we wanted him in pomona thats why we send him to glendale.

Stocks heading towards the 1$ Mark;good time to buy BIMBO

Rick Shownberg, I don't know why IBC didn't think of this a long time ago, your a genuis. The Company guys ask for a raise and you tell them 'NO" and if you don't like it here maybe you should look for other employment. But you will leave positions that have not been filled with a Union person and pay him all the overtime he can work, in fact he's making more than if the position was filled with a nonunion company person. Rick you are so smart, the company workers get more pissed off with your stupid answer if you are not happy here maybe you should leave. These kind of remarks can only help lead this company to fail.

Seems like San Diego finally found out whats wrong with IBC? All the Managers and Supervisors are out to get each other. Suspension here and there will straighten them out. Whats wrong with you idiots? If all the Supervisors and Managers cannot work together then you guys really have some major issues.

By the way, soon you'll be geting phone calls from wal mart complaining that somebody ripped all of the Dolly Madison donut displays down and crushed it in shoppping carts and leaving it in the back for those USELESS fuck walmart workers to deal with, fuck dolly take our sales we'll take out the fuckin accounts

I left IBC about a year ago after twenty years with the company. It was a very scary decision, but I am SO glad that I made the move. I now work regular daytime hours, and the work conditions are much better. I am treated professionally and with respect. I still have to work on Saturday, but I make over $17/hour. I usually work about 45-50 hours a week, so with overtime, I make about the same as I did with IBC, only I work about 20 hours less per week. For the first time in years, I feel like a normal person again, rested and not stressed out. Why couldn't I have figured this out twenty years ago?

Skid Mark, that sounds like most of piece of shit supervisors and mgrs. I've run accross.

I quit the bakery sometime back, on my new job this morning I couldn,t help but think about how good life really is while we were making homemade ice cream for lunch. Guys I tell you there are good jobs out there were every min. is not a crisis or one crisis after another. My only problem now is I still have night mares about conveyors and baggers going down and fucking bells and buzzers going off all the time. If these dreams don't stop before long I'm going to file workers comp on them for mentally fucking me up!

what's up with the big meeting in s.c. for managers wed?

I was offered a positions as a route driver. I did a little homework on Interstate Brands before the interview. WoW. I ran across this website and knew IBC WAS NOT the place I wanted to work at. I've never seen such an open discontent by employee's of a company. I hope your company gets its act together, I would hate to start eating Bunny Bread

How does the saying go? Like rats on a sinking ship?

The only reason Chris was hired was that Rondina and Grosvenor gave him a break because Don Dennison would not make Chris an assistant chief. Chris was all about me,me, me. He was a GLORY HOG and took credit for work that other people had done, suggestions and ideas presented to the plant manager, you name it , he took credit for it. The biggest mistake he made was, you don't stab you boss in the back no matter how big an asshole he is. if you want to get rid of your boss you have to do it right and that takes patience, which Chris didn't have. So don't cry for the big bullshitter, he will land on his feet and start telling everyone how good he was for Glendale.

Pomona: How many people lost their job for stealing time, was it 11?........Thats what happens when they put camera's up and watch you punch out for break and punch back in . then go back and take more break...........Watch out Sac an awful lot of you are guilty of this practice. That goes for the break room and shipping office.

The Tulsa Bakery is running with paperclips, bubblegum and duct tape holding the equipment together!! As an employee i'm tired of it and plan to quit before the 4th of July !! I can't do another holiday in production working in this hellhole!! Its bad enough with James , Steve, Jon and Fat Ass Doug Greer working us to death. But these new engineers don't no shit!! Your right Pascal its time get the hell out of this unfixable plant !! Eclund knew his time was up, and If Greer can get Rumple fired he will, hell he got Rick Moor fired, Lisa Mackinsen and if he could get rid of Jim Huttin he would. sense Jim he took the job Greer wanted!! He should have quit when Huttin got that job like he wanted to when he gave his 2 week notice!! He just don't have anywhere to go, so he sticks around getting other employees fired by being a snitch to Huttin and to the HR dept or to gene murpy. Noboby on the lines have any respect for the snitch anymore Mike anyway!! I'm glad you got out, even that lazy bum friend of Greer's had the smarts to get out, you no who, that fella who played on the internet in the engineering shop all day and got paid for it, Danny Brown!! Funny Greer never snitched him out!! Enjoy life Mike we are just tryin to retire, find new jobs and leave before this place falls down on us here in Tulsa !! You no whats going on here and it aint pretty. Take care and enjoy your new (real) job!!

I agree, Chris got the job done. The hypnotist is the one you should have dumped, but you don't realize it because you are hypnotized. Another one that could have made a change gets away. The losers just keep hanging on.

You guys are way off base about Chris!! your just pissed off cause he knew all your tricks and you couldnt pull BS over on him. He should have been chief here stupid asses we would have been in better shape

That's why they haven't made a Chief Engineer in Tulsa because they know they are closing Springflield and Dennis Miller is going to Tulsa. Dennis is the only Chief Engineer in IBC that is halfway worth a dam sense all the others got tired of the B.S. and left. The only thing about Tulsa is Rumple has it so fucked up now that Dennis might not be able to fix it now, I really think he can but he's got his work cut out for him. If I would have known he was going to end up there I might not have quit. (not)

jerry kemp,jay kreier,jim holland you are all lying theiving pieces of shit

coconut steps up to the plate and strike 3 he's out.!!! thank god. now we can have one hell of a pizza party. now that the no neck piece of shit is gone.!!! adios

Good bye to all Springfield employees - you will not be missed by the PC. Hutton will only be running the Tulsa plant from now on.

Jung to arrive in Springfield today. No plant manager. No sanitation supervisor. Workers moral is low. WHO GOING TO KISS HIS A** ???? Jim Hutton will sell us out so we might as well say bye bye to the Springfield Bakery. ( Please lock the door behind you on your way out )

Herbie....are you sure you aren't mistaking sanitation's 2nd in command for shipping? He leaves some really interesting pics on the Xerox that he has found on the internet.

((((((((?))))))))((((((((?)))))))) Now lets see if anything gets done? Or watch out because he will be blaming all those breakdowns on everyone else.

Any one got any info. on the Fishlowitz vs. IBC case? When do we get the rest of our money???

Reguarding new Info? Be patient Danielson, Our fearless leader Mr. Jung will be showing us the plan in approx. 6-weeks.

Grocery strike looming in Calif. Union set a deadline date for the chain stores to come up with a last a final offer. Date is 6/21/07. In the event of a strike, bottom line for IBC is lost sales. Down, Down, Down you go!!!

Are there any "Old Timers" as my dad calls himself and others of his era that worked for Langendorf Cakes & Cookies with my dad out of the 62nd Street Depot in Los Angeles or the Depot in North Hollywood on Atoll (off of Sherman Way) during the 1980's? I remember names like Ernie Sleet, Sandy Rhoads, Grover Ware, Raul Vigil, Ted Allen, Joseph Mensashe, (sp?), even the Barbara Ann Bread supervisor named Art. My dad started with Langendorf in 79-80 (I think) he hounded John Wackeen for a job and finally landed one. Anyway, he started with Langendorf / Barbara Ann wnen it was American Bakeries, then sold to Good Stuff, then to IBC (Dolly) then CBC (Hostess/Dolly) then IBC (Hostess/Dolly) again. My parent's are nearing 40 years together and we were thinking of throwing them a party and I wanted to see if I could find some old faces to show up (if we go through with this) My dad's name is Ramon Meneses, I remember him running the route in the South Bay (Carson, San Pedro, Torrance, and Palos Verdes) as vacation relief for Sandy Rhodes then "inherited" the "Hollywood" route which he ran out of 62nd/Western, then North Hollywood Depots and ending up at 62nd/Western before the Dolly merger. Thanks guys! Ramon Jr.

Now I have no one to blame all my bad decisions on, all my supervisors are gone now I'm the only one left to finish this place off.

what happend to sam t at river grove

OH NO!!!!..............I pooped my pants. I need to change my underwear.

Dear Cindy B, I love you also. Lets bake some more bread.

MORE IMPORTANT THAN IBC CLOSING!!!DALE JR AND JEFF GORDON ARE GONNA BE TEAMATES....WHO WOULD HAVE THUNK IT?????

Raise the price and leave it out there a few days longer. That seems to be the mgmt's strategy. That ought to get the company back on its feet.

A Reminder to all the bakers, production, and transportation people. Mon. color code is blue, Tues.-green, Thurs.-red, Fri.-white Sat.-yellow. Come on, Lets get it right I know you can do it! Do you realize you're costing the company millions of dollars in overtime. The route sales people spend all there time rotating old product that you send several days in advance, Example Mon. we will receive green and red tag product, so Tues. we will have two sets of green tags etc. Some will get missed and the poor customer will receive product that is 8 to 10 days old. yum, yum! resulting is lost sales and no repeat purchases. ESL( extended shelf life isn't worth a F**k) So you wonder why the company is in a downward spiral? Come lets get it together, do your f***in part.

Rumor has it, the west coast is falling into the ocean. Come on now, doesn't anyone have some some truth to report.

So what's up with the Glendale HR department again? I saw an emp ad for HR manager posted and a week later an asst HR manager job posted by Elizabeth Ashul

But I love you and I am going to have your baby.

Cindy B....That was merely an act of revenge (SAT NITE) to SHOW me how it feels. I thought you knew me better that that. I dont play that fukin shit. Dont ever fukin call me again!!!!

Re: Emporia, KS ......We have a shipping Manager thats just as bad. (LMAO)

have you seen who is in charge of the emporia shipping Dept? he is to busy groping us leadladys

Will shipping ever get their shit together? RECP!!!

To Stock Viewer: You ask Why? The reasons are many if you are in the lower Management positions just a few examples are pay is not equal, if you work at a poor preforming plant you are making more money then if at a good preforming plant and raises in the past worked the same way. Benefits are less then if you worked in the union, You would say then join the union. The issue is our benefits have been reduced over the years and our union counterparts have maintained or even gotten better. Company is not contibuting to our 401-K like they use to. And it looks like another year of no raises this year. The same people who put IBC in Bankruptcy are still in their positions, and you can't teach an old dog new tricks, they will pee on the carpet everytime. There has been a lot of injustices in IBC and if they ever do come out of Bankruptcy a lot will have to change. Do me and the rest of us a favor and pick another stock because this ones a non preformer and always has been. The healing has not even begun yet. Our new CEO is not the answer, he has yet done any thing that might suggest this company is headed in the right direction, another carpetbagger to fill his pockets like the rest of them.

To KC: Do we have any stockholders left?

Pomona - You are a complete moron, you want this fucking back stabber, Norm Cadwalder, you can have him. You'll be sorry after this idiot sticks his knife so deep up your ass that you'll be squeeling like a pig. If you know anyone at Henderson, talk to them. They will tell you the same thing.

Heard through the Grapevine that when Crammer finally retires that Norm Cadwalder might be the one to take over. The higher up's like the way he is watching over company assets and keeping employees in check and if they get out of line they may be reprimanded. Keep up the good work Norm, remember crammer makes over $100000. salary.

Who's the bright one that came up with this scorecard? This is a bunch of useless information that does not tell anybody anything about the way an operation is running. Why don't you look up your own information in SAP instead of wasting my time getting this for you, Use SAP in the way it was intended. Now I have to give the Engineering department the same information because Rowdy and his engineering boys can't get their own numbers out of SAP. Way to go and spend all this money on a program that was to be used by all but only a few individuals know how to use it. Too bad Jung doesn't know what a bunch of useless idiots we have. SAP was suppose to free up people in different department from running around in circles getting number for everyone. What a waste of money

No Not true at all, he is just a worthless _uck that needs to go!!!!!!!!!! ineffective is the word that came from KC

Lets see if we can push this stock down again tomorrow. Stock holders have to start noticing that we are wandering around with no real direction.

Hey, did you guys suspend Chris Ruiz? Is it true he got suspended just to make it look politically correct due to the other Engineer that quit due to Oxidizer problem. Did you just need a scape goat?

I never claimed to be an "expert" you did. Just comment between shipping and production loud enough I can hear you over the machinery. Oh Danny boy. Oh Danny boy. The pipes, the pipes are calling......for you PC man to be fired!!!!!

Surf's Up ! Life is good, I love my job

Where are you morons going to work when they close your place ?

You Wonder employees on the west coast suck ass. You are losers and deserve to have your doors close. Oops, did I let the cat out of the bag?

Stock down to $2.32 .............. Will it drop down below $2 Here is the link for the stock quote for IBC: http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=93242&p=irol-IRHome

Mitch, are you ever going to stand up and be a man? You have been a yes man for to long.

So damn glad Chris P. is back!

i run a hostess route in atlanta, we will loose wal-marts in july,also no promos in kroger, publix all boxes at full retail

I thought SAP Meant....>Suck Ass People.

SAP is accounting system IBC purchased for Million of dollars. All Managers were trained to use this complicated system, Training consisted of going back to Kansas City on a couple of occasions to learn the capabilities of this program. In a nut shell it will give you real time cost of a loaf of bread. But only problem with this program is a lot of managers have quit who had the training to operate SAP. So we have spent millions on a program that does not get used to its fullest potential. And I suspect more individuals will quit this year due to no pay increases again, of course unless you can qualify for an award thats only eligible to the chosen ones.

SAP stands for shit ass poop

Ruiz, Rondina would love to have you at Mapleleaf he is starting a camp for all the Wonder rejects that couldnt make it at Glendale one down one more to go!!!! http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:caZY4cwvcqGUyM:http://www.cartoonstock.com/lowres/jpo0033l.jpg

get rid of the low life mechanics u know who u r

Another thing. You buy the dirt and have selling rights within that dirt. If you lose a contract, in a store within that dirt, lets say Costco, you lose the sales, but still have the note.

Your loan is with the bank, not the Bakery. Yes, you are responsible. Let's say you buy a car. Someone steals the car....who is responsible for the payments? The thief or the person that took out the loan? Think people, think!

Let's say you decide to go into business for yourself. Let's say that you take out a big loan or two from the bank to buy the distribution rights and a truck from a baking company. Let's say that the baking company can no longer supply you with product to sell because they have gone out of business. The bank won't make you pay off the rest of your loan(s), will they?

Here is the link for the stock quote for IBC: http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=93242&p=irol-IRHome

Any moron can see where were going wrong,and so we can save money by not wasting money on b.s. shlock,shister companys that use big words that meen absolutely nothing as far as progress in so called bankruptcy.SAP IS A WASTE OF MONEY.

OK guys, Our goal ths week is stock less than $2 per share. Lets Go! You can do It!

any word out there that all routes will be sold.

WOW !!!!! Sad but TRUE !!!!!!!!!

I wrote on here a while back, you can not trust IBC !!!!!!!!!!!! Why would you become a distributor ?? They screwed you every way they could as an employee now you become an independent, self-employed distributor and you think they are going to care about you ?? The people at the top at the SAME. they don't care about you and never will. They are dishonest liars.

Wal-Mart & Dolly Madison. We get cut down to the two bottom shelves and Dolly & Little Debbie gets the rest. What the hell is going on here? The Distributers are getting shit on is there something we can do?

GO hates it when comments are made about their flag ships. It's interesting that some of the "problems with posts and could not submit" they somehow read so whats the real deal.

I wake up everyday hoping that this company finally goes under. Every since this company went through LBO's, Merger's, Bankrupcy and so on, its been nothing but the higher management filling their pocket with what ever money they could.

dy your problem isn't even a woman like you think it is. You should listen to tu compadres when you aren't around.

ZZaap from Pomona writes ""Anonymous of Kansas City, MO - "The Calm Before the Storm?" It is more like the eye of the hurricane."" How about the quiet before the new supervisor from Glendale starts farting and belching. There is no question that this guy is disgustingly trailer-park. No wonder Glendale has so many problems.

it's pretty sad when IBC stock can't get higher than $3 a share while Grupo Bimbo, Bake Mark and other Company's are sitting at right around the $30 a share.

As long as Deb and Jerry run the Billings plant the morale and productivity will suffer. Some say there is something funny going on in the offices,

That is a good name for IBC. Interstate Bandits & Crooks. Maybe they will change their logo. They could have a contest for employees. The best logo wins a years severance pay when they close the doors. Has everyone seen the site they showed on here ? Check it out at www.1080pbroadcasts.com

Hey DY and AH Who is TRUTH? What is the truth? Roam the halls and make your dumb comments trying to flush out your "problem in the office" It's a real riot for the rest of us to kick back later with a cool drink and talk about how you two made idiots out of yourselves once again. Or rather you AH have let DY tell you who is Kosher and who isn't and followed his lead on who to harrass and who to hate. Tsk Tsk Tsk You had a brain once didn't you?

Let's us pray. Lord please give us strength to turn the other cheek and not let it get to us about the chief engineer who bad mouths every body Who seems to be on a vendetta kick and mouths dirt about people he does not even know . And bless his assistants who have to put up with his constant berating when things don't go his way. For in the world of Dolly they have no voice and have no choice.

Anonymous of Kansas City, MO - "The Calm Before the Storm?" It is more like the eye of the hurricane.

Econ 101 some of you must have slept through. You watched that movie "if you build it they will come." If you bake it they will buy. Only if it has TASTE. Only if it's a craving for it's flavor. Supply versus Demand. Why would you put in pluses for a product if the demand wasn't there? Why waste the money and time and effort? Had anyone heard of market saturation? Price of elasticity? Used to have folks come up and talk about their craving for a raspberry zinger or a snowball. If it has no taste, taste like paste...no one wants it. Come on now you should have seen this coming.

summer's coming.looking forward to wearing my shorts to work.let somebody say something so i can proudly point to the contract and say"this doesn't say i can't,and what binds the drivers binds me"

Hang on to your shorts, everyone is fair game. Watch as all those Bobble-Heads try to save their own arse's and let everyone know how important they are and why you need them.

Merita and 3 bakeries sold. Vending replaced by Dolly Direct. More labels and bakeries to be sold soon. Routes will be consolidated and sold.

So long to all the Unions - BC&TGM, Teamsters, IBE - and good ridence. You morons were one of the resons for the downfall of this company. So long to all of you ex-CBC idiots - You were the Primary reason we have failed you never could get over the fact that #3 bought #1. YOu ran this company just like you did CBC and have now achieved the same result - Failure. We are being broken up into small regional labels again, only difference they are now with different owners. Stock is gone - under the reorganization and remaining business (1/10th of orginal) will be issuing new stock. Thanks, Sullivan, Ellsser, Yarick, Robb for stealing us blind and only getting a slap on the wrist by the SEC. As of today, many good people are now un-employed thanks to the above idioits and with now severance or benefits. Some only days/months away from retirement.

Tulsa Bakery is a piece of shit and a hellhole. Every department is managed by people that have severe problems from drug addiction to alcoholic problems and even severe gambling and book making operations ran by managers. Product is at the worst I've ever seen in 20 years and everyone could careless as long as their checks don't bouce. Every smart middle manager has left and what we have left is those losers so up to their ass in debt that all they can do is hold on and steal the bakery blind !! All the new hires don't have a clue what their in for, it's SCARED STRAIGHT all over again. The managers arer either letting you fail and screw yourself or in the case of Steve Yaws he's just trying to put his Bi-Polar dick in your ass or cunt to get a nut. Don't cum to Tulsa it's a big FUCKFEST here. Be thankful you guys who left in the last couple years, cause its really, really bad now !!

P.S. Location: Natick

This could be the best reality TV ever. Donald Trump should buy IBC and turn it into a series. He could rebuild the brands and regain lost brand name recognition while having competent (and incompetent) people compete for Executive and Managerial positions. The first season could include the existing management competing against different people such as new college grads, the homeless, route sales reps, and experienced business managers for the best new business model. The winners get to go onto a second season where they would compete by region for the best business results. For example, we could have the Northeast compete with California. Even though the markets are completely different, we could see who could apply the exact same marketing plan to these two different regions and blame the managers and the sales reps for the one that makes the least amount of money. The consumers would want their region to win so they would go out and buy tons of IBC products!!! Imagine if the entire television audience of the Northeast and California decided to compete and make their favorites IBC managers win!!! The money would roll in!!! The loser gets sold to Weston, or Bimbo or becomes ID’s. (these are actually the winners, but they won’t know it until later…it’s a surprise ending) The competition would be a weekly hour long commercial loaded with entertainment for all!!! Just picture The Donald out on the Market saying “YOU’RE FIRED” to the sales people with the highest returns…regardless of whether they were plussed tons of product or if the just didn’t order well!!! Watch them try to explain that to the Trumpster!!! Now that’s entertainment. That’s what sells television… and maybe some bread and cake. The weekly union grievance meetings could become the surprise spin-off series; unfortunately few would believe that they were not scripted because they are actually stranger than fiction. If IBC would just look at the silver lining in all of this and look outside of the pan, they could be back on top in no time. Good Luck my friends…I hope you pull it off….but keep your eye’s and ears open and don’t be afraid of life without IBC…..it’s pretty damn good.

The Calm Before the Storm?

Anybody know what they are up to today? It sure was a quiet email day today? Is everyone looking busy or busy looking?

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP's....... i' m from springfield mo. Too last message.

To the one's in Knoxville TN.....Ray Bahl was a very good Manager.. Deeply Missed....If you didn't like him ....it was because you didn't do your job.!!!

our reg. mgr has told us that weston is buying the merita label plus the merita bakeries. millbrook &sweethearts to flowers

Some thing is really wrong in our garage. The person in charge send work to a repair shop were he has a tool box. This would help explane how he can afford all the toys he has. He can never be found and roumer has it that spends time at his other job. There has been compaints to Marshall but he ignores them. WAKE up at this rate were all done.

No way the routes will go to distributorships. They will turn most routes into merchandising routes. It will allow them to cut commission in half. Just like Frito-Lay did back in the 90"s. Place is not fit to work in anymore, moral is low. When this happens talk about a mass exodus of people!!!!!!

Someone needs to call Mike Eller and tell him to get his ass back to Southern California before these stupid idiots do anymore damage. Its as if all these people ate a Stupid Sandwich and became dumb.

On June 5, 2007, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Missouri (the "Bankruptcy Court") entered an order approving an employment agreement (the "Agreement") for Kent B.

Will SOMEONE please tell our IBC Board Member that we are in BK. These dimwits done figured out how to by pass the Judge. They have made it possible to get a great deal of monies by making up awards they are elligible for if and when this company comes out of BK. "Enhanced Enterprise Value Award" or "Total Enterprise value Over Claims Award". Win one of these babies and you will be rolling in the dough,forget about that stupid saying "Make Dough Sell Bread". Go for these new awards instead. This Company just blows me away with these stupid items. First we go after every employee and ask them to take a cut in pay or forgo a piss-ant pay raise so that Kansas City Managers can fill their pockets. Un-Fing believable

Does anyone know if the thrift stores are on the chopping block? If so, how long have we got? Sales are obviously way down since the raised the prices.

IBC bought by Bimbo, LOL. That just about says it all. It would take a Bimbo to buy this dumb ass company and all the retards in it.

West coast sold to Bimbo Grupo bakeries That would be a dream come true, finally a company that looks and acts professionally. I wouldn't count on it though

West coast sold to Bimbo Grupo bakeries

MANAGERS: If you want the respect of the people you manage. Then do theright thing. BE A LEADER

We are spread thin with so many labels, wonder and hostess are two of the best sellers nationwide..........i would gladly buy in!

ahhh, year ending. Isn't life grand.

Get ready for the big news

Hey Sandy Eggo - What's not to like about that idiot Sanitation Manager wannabe? He's stupid and a total retard, isn't that the way we want our managers to be? The only reason he's got a job in a bakery is because his daddy got him a job. His daddy was a union business agent and sucked his way into getting his boy a job.

Merita news is not a rumor, Drakes will be next and the labels will continue to be sold. Wonder/Hostess will be on one truck nationwide and routes will be sold. Unions have no control over this as long as the feds ok it. Remember as long as we are in bankruptcy the feds have the last word. If you don't want to own a route you better start looking, of course I don't see why anyone would want to buy into this company with its track history. Regional meetings on Weds. RSR meetings to follow, Depending on the area you are in,3-9 months. If you don't agree prove me wrong.

The sanitation manager we have is a worth less piss of shit. I don't know who's ass he kissed to get this job back in san diego. Damn looser. He could not handle henderson bakery so he ran.

Th hr manager jami fishkin is as phony as they come. i never met a person who is so self centered.

Weston ® couldn't come up with $88K let alone $88M

Walmart resets started here today. We end up with the bottom two shelves, lose all donut space, and Dolly is cut right in with Hostess----on the better shelves. All the talk about making IBC stronger may be true, but it's obvious that RSRs aren't considered part of the company anymore.

The Idiots at corporate negotiated a great deal with Wal-Mart ! IBC drop ships dolly product to be displayed on shippers. Wal-Mart is now resetting all their stores to put Dolly in line with Hostess. IBC has screwed every employee they ever had. Now Wal-Mart is returning the favor. Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of idiots (management) IBC can't and won't do anything about this or even admit to the board or bankruptcy judge why their business is in the toilet. They must be really proud. Their plan is already failing !!!! Keep up the good work JUNG !! HAHAHA

WTF, Chris gone again. Just like someone peeing in my Cheerios!

not a rumor, you must big a real person hide behind a name jack ***

Hey Tim from Jax. Fla. Can you start a better rumor than that??

big news, merita label sold to george weston for 88,000,000.00 plus 3 bakeries to be named later. this news should be out weds

Re...Old Dog in Oakland: So you say shutup and do your job. You are correct, we do get a paycheck and benefits. But theres a reason we are UNION. Its for benefits, pay and FAIRNESS. That is the key word "fairness". .......This place does not operate on fairness or qualifactions, it operates on politics, whos friends with who and we (the foremen) don't want just anyone in certain positions. If the shipping Managers had a NUTSACK they would take the control away from the foremen and do the job themselves. I think 2 of the 3 managers would like to see things done properly, but their hands are tied because of #1. .......There is a reason foremen are not managers. Its because you don't fit the criteria or have the qualifications. So, take your own advice and do the job you were hired for and leave the managing to the managers. You are not MANAGERS IN TRAINING, you are WORKING FOREMEN and they don't manage. Now, before you get pissed off, just think about what I said. Don't take it personal. You created this monster and only you can fix it. .....If these games were not being played, this website would not exist......

Jung, another loser. The Kansas City Office must be rolling on the floor, laughing their asses off.

I think its time for Crammer and Phifer to pack up and leave. If you can't have some fun at work where can you have fun? Sure makes life at work boring.

hey anonumous are you ashamed of what you have to sat?

Ok everyone lets not forget what we all agreed to. When the Sanitation Manager enters the room everyone needs to STOP talking. When he leaves the area you can resume your conversation.

IBC is in this big shit hole,Due to the fact that they bought that loser cbc .All you cbc people know this is a fact but will never admit to it ,if you look around all you will see is old cbc boneheads in charge is this not enough evidence to prove i am right. IBC screwed up when they bought cbc it was dooms day.

LIFE IS GOOD.OUT OF IBC HELL.

Whats going on in San Diego? Are they stooting a video down there and going to call it "Bakers Gone Wild" You all need to make sure you are all wearing your personal safety equipment on everyday, Bump Cap, Hearing Protection, Hair Net or Breard Bags and a Muzzle over your mouth so that no bad words come out. What about the one thats offended by all this shop talk, give him an extra heavy duty pair of Hearing Protection so that he does not hear all the stuff thats getting everyone in trouble, or send him back to Henderson?

Up to here. What do you do? The oven's broken. The mixer stopped turning. The yeast was bad. Some idiot in sanatation didn't clean the line last night and no one wants to own up to it. By the way, you obviously never worked anywhere else or you would know lots of places have macro managers that think you are too stupide to think for yourself. Go take a leap off of something short up to here!

Well said! I've had it with these stupid union retards. They're like little dow syndrome retards. They think the union is paying their wages...fucking little ignorant bastards.

Anonymous in Decatuar? Comment: this company could save alot of money if we did away with the production manager in Decatuar. Listen up you little BCTW maggot, if the Proiduction Manager or Assistant has to come down and show you what to do, you don't know your job and should be fired immediately. We are not babysitters. Why is it the BCTW needs to have someone standing over there shoulder telling you how to do your job every single day. Are you mentally retarded that you have to be retrained everyday to do a job you do everyday. how many other jobs outside the bakery do you see a manager standing over their employee to make sure they change your oil or check you out at the grocery store or any other occupation? except the bakery worker? why is it the bakery worker has to have someone holding their hand and tell them how to do a good job? The Production Managers job has been eliminated, this position is only a clerk now. His job has changed to gather number and turn them in because his Boss does not know has to use SAP. You BCTW piss-ants make me sick.

this company could save alot of money if we did away with the production manager in decatuar,he does absolutely nothing and knows nothing.usually the assistant takes care of this plant.he had personal business this weekend and we had no help whatsoever from production manager.what is he here for????Rumor has it our assistant is leaving....does anyone know if this is true???? This place will really fall apart

Hey Razz, Are you still writting songs? How about some new ones for the current situations.

To Anon in Sacramento: You get what you were hired for; a paycheck, benefits, healthcare, pension and an optional company contributed 401k. What the hell else do you want. Grant it, distribution managment isn't worth one shit, but if you could do the job, wouldn't you be in that spot if you had any nut sack? Shut up you dumb shits and just do your jobs you were hired to do. You make a good living, in fact you earn more than you should for the jobs performed. Hell, look at the ones in that bakery who hold degrees. If it was such a shitty living, the degree holders wouldn't stay there. Don't worry about upper managers, they'll get what's coming to them in time. Just do your job and do it with a smile on your face, dammit!!!!

This company doesn\'t care about its employees - well, maybe it cares about the good old boys in upper management. They continue to get raises and bonuses, and new company cars, while the real workers who get the jobs done get NOWHERE and NOTHING.

To Billy with Flowers: No rumors just the cold hard facts. Warehouses distributing Dolly Madison products to stores. That is just the tip of the iceberg. Tony Alvarez AKA "The turn around artist CEO " laid the ground work for mainstreaming non- Wonder/Hostess products . Instead of selling off the labels" no interest" he decided to let warehouses distirbute all other labels , as far as the cake lines go. Brilliant move on his part , because this was the ongoing process of consolidation of routes. In the end it will be Wonder/Hostess and they will have distribution routes. The new CEO "Mr. Jung" is taking them into the next phase. I was always impressed with Flowers in Texas . You're mgt. team and employees were not only knowledgeable but hard workers that knew the business as well. I rose through the ranks fairly quick and in the end realized it was all about certain individuals making out . They do not work as a team and to succeed at the next level of regaining their role as "leader in the baking industry" , they will have to purge their mgt. level employees and hire qualified individuals as your company has. If that means raiding other companies to do so, then so be it. If this does not happen , then they might as well sell off what is left. It has been a piece by piece dismantling. The union/non union employees just do not want to admit it. Also, Thrift stores have been shuttered across the nation as well. This was a long time in coming. This is just someone looking in from the outside.

You guys still don't get it............ The guys upstairs, just don't get it................ They must be dumber than a box. Sure glad I dont wear a green or blue hat. I must laugh at you guys, the way you run that dept is gut busting. managers that wont make a decision and foremen that take control for them. You just dont get it, do you?

Three BBQ's buitl in special projects by engineering. How many more were built and just drove away we will never know. What was the reason for special projects anyway? Who was the supervising engineer over special projects? Does every plant have a special projects department? How did making BBQers fit in with company needs anyway? Does every plant have large BBQers? Reward to the working guys to serve them a BBQ meal every now and then? What happend to the BBQers anyway? Rieber was having Bobby D's cater all the time instead. If sold, did IBC get the proceeds? Are they rented out to management for their BBQs? Does Pat Buck have one in his back yard or at one of his kid's house.

I know I would rather BUY a merita route, than run a Wonder rout here in central Fl. We cant give away Wonder bread here, even thought they are pushing it. Merita old fashioned is, and has been, the best selling white bread in the state of Fl, now they are trying to discontinue it.

i say strike everyone because they are taking everything from the worker the higher up are getting higher pay you the worker are taking pay cut i say walk out go on strike let the higher up do our jobs they will leave

To the guy in Springfield, I want to say sorry for calling Springfield a rat hole the way I did. To single it out as a rat hole buy itself was unfair, right now most of the bakerys are rat holes. I have been gone from the company for a while and the people I talk to don't really know anything. The rumor is that at least one bakery in every P.C. will be closed and the rumor for a while was Staint Louis now it's Springfield but the whole last year I was there it was Denver. The truth is nobody will know until the dicks at Kansas City make the offical announcement. Up until then anything can change, we already know they don't have enough brains to make smart decisions, if they did they wouldn't have the most fucked up company in America. Thats one reason I left. But really even a layman knows you can't stay in bankruptsy forever and you can't come out of it losing anywhere from 5 mil to 10 mil every 4 WEEKS. Really people there are other jobs out there if you don't want to get screwed LEAVE now!!!! When this ship goes down there won't be any money for anyone - especially employees.

Razz, Yes, been withe the company 30+ years. I was posting back in the day with the BHBBC. Back then it was fun to post. 401K doing great and I am ready any time. You try to tell some of these posters what is realy going to happen but they poke fun of it. I hope they either have some thing lined up for the selfs or they have a healthy 401k so they can sit back and relax and say I told you so.

Hodgkins is getting ready to be sold, fixing up the place so it looks good for the new owners

Hey, Razz. Good to see you post on here again. Have you any good rumors about the company to add?? We are hearing that Wonder bread will be flooding the market here with Merita only being in chain stores and supermarkets.

Hey "WORKED FOR RUMPLE" !!! Agree with you wholeheartedly. I just wanted you to verify if there has been talks about closing the Springfield bakery. I would not be surprised. I have been receiving rumors about them closing this plant down but when I look into it further I run into dead ends. Can anyone verify that there has been talks. { direct or overheard } My kids and I would love to know.

we are a merita plant, i heard friday we are selling the merita & drakes label to george weston bakeries and we will buy our wonder routes
