For the record, Larry Perkins is the one who handles all acquisitions and from what I have seen over the years he shouldn't be allowed to buy the office supplies at Perkins. Bob C and Jack B are just going along for the ride along with the others in management. I find it more important to maintain the business I have with paper and chemicals and leave the low margin food for the guys who specialize in it. Its hard enough holding on to what you have the way the economy is today. For me its just coast to retirement and don't let any of the stress get to me. Lets face it we all are in for the paycheck.

There are plenty of us that have figured it out. The problem is Larry and Gary have no balls to stand up to Crawford. Those two Pansy's just go along with Crawford because they are afraid of him when in reality hes a bigger pansy than the both of them. The whole good ol boy network is sucking the blood out of the company with there big salaries and bad decisions and its  catching up to us now as we lose more business to the national companies and even the independents who's owners aren't afraid to speak up to there management. Have you not noticed that we are losing accounts? If Larry and Gary are serious about going to the next level they need to clean house and get some new blood with a new direction.

Well they are definitely reviewing people over there and cutting salaries. I have another account that has one of the Perkins salesman complaining of a pay cut and trying to get aggressive by giving away product at cost. This guy never showed up before at the account and I never even knew Perkins was in the account. I asked the chef about the guy and he told me he is starting to come around because he is under the gun and had his pay slashed. This should be interesting if they are doing this company wide and forcing there people to give product at cost to make numbers. I am noticing alot more talk on the street between customers and sales reps about Perkins and whether they will last in foodservice.

Gee, is "at the end of the day" one of Crapford's motivating quotes?  Can you still see Raphealsons' shiney head when Boyajian opens his mouth to talk?  That guy is far up Boyajians/Crapfords butts!!!  He once drastically exagerated a ride with and threw me under the bus to make himself look good.  He is such a pathetic lard glutimus maximus.  What Larry and Gary don't realize is they are the ones with the power, not Crapford (it's their money).  His arrogant personalty itimidates people.  He should of went into the field he went to college for.....a phys. ed teacher.  Maybe he wouldn't weigh 300 pounds.  Oh, by the way, have you ever seen him pick his ears and eat the wax?  I'm almost barfed the day I saw it.  Will Bobby ever figure out who's bashing the family?  Careful, it's on his agenda, oh, until golf season starts!!!

Ive seen him not only pick ear wax and eat it but his nose is no stranger to his fingers either. Crapford must have a picture of Larry or better yet Gary with a sheep in there younger days because it makes no sense to pay this loser the money he makes for what he does. It behooves him to try and figure out who is bashing him because the truth is embarrassing to him and his family. As for paperman, let the Italian products go through one ear and out the other. Have you seen the misfits we inherited from Famoso running this show? You have the little guy Mario (another wasted salary) with the broken English trying to teach us about the product and being forced to ride along with us to convince our accounts to buy the junk. The salesman either look like Hood lams or they are straight out of the Rat Pack and the buyer looks and acts like one of these scoundrels on Wall Street ripping everyone off. What worst is from what I hear they are making more than all of us from day one that they started. Well Bobby wont be wasting time looking for us because its spring training and you know what that means. Your right about Rafealson but the bigger joke is Scott. Did this guy step in #$*# or what? I can say we have a bunch of good hard working people but they are mis treated by these losers and its not right. It wont change because Larry and Gary are hands off and delegate everything to these idiots.

I thought I was the only one who noticed those two dopes and Marybeth and Sue. Must me money involved because its down right disgusting. I'm sure Larry and Gary no whats going on with the site but I think you have a point that they will probably have the last laugh when it all over and we were all the puppets they played for the big pay day. BCjr, have you heard more complaints with other colleagues of ours? I have quite a few horror stories of late from some of the others. The Marybeth and Sue thing are minor compared to some of the things ive heard about Bob, Jack and some others in the good ol boy network. This is what happens when people get comfortable with there jobs and think they are untouchable. they start thinking they can do whatever they want because they know Larry and Gary are afraid of there own shadows. Others know this, trust me.

I not sure who's more desperate, the idiots or the bimbo's.  They are, by far, not even good looking women.  So it's probably just securing thier positions in the CSR dept.  I would love to hear the other rumors.  I try not to step inside the circle in the office, so therefore, I'm not in the loop.  Food Pro it's more like "desperate housewives".  Who's banging who this week?  The author of the thread probably was threatened not to visit this site or feel the wrath.  I know the IT dept. blocked it from the system, so he/she may have to use an outside computer.  How come your not in Marco?

Yes Marco Island is where Perkins sends it sales people that hit certain incentives. They should probably not be doing any trips right now considering the financial mess they are in. They are spending money and acting like the top brass at the bankings institutions that are getting bailout money. One of the rumors I have heard is Larry and Gary are quite close to the people at Gordon Foodservice and that they are packaging the company for them. This comes from a disgruntled top man that is not in the "good ol boy" network by his choice but is probably considered a good ol boy by them if you know what I mean. He says that Larry has met with Gordon a few times about a possible merger. I think this would be good because you know a company like Gordon will come in here and get rid of Crapford and the crew. You should check out there website  http://www.gfs.com. This could really be a reality. My source says that Larry and Gary are experts at keeping these things a secret. Who knows could be true or false. Wishful thinking. What do you think?
