More defections-what goes on here?  Says alot about the effectiveness of Ivan's management skills.  Too many meetings, too many reports, too many "projects", blackballing hardworking brokers...  Maybe that worked 25 years ago but not in todays cut throat marketplace.  In the close to 2 years Ivan has been on LI he has done so much damage to the business.  But as always keep hiring slugs and think you can still manage the business.  Shuffle accounts, screw the seasoned MAs and hand over their business to the lying suck ups.  Then have a meeting and stick you head in the sand.  Very effective.  BTW, Scott you looked horrible in drag, please do not do that again.  Maybe that worked in San Fran but not here on the east coast.

Rumor has it that “Not So Fat Mac,” the worst president in Sysco Connecticut’s history is on his way to a demotion and Long Island is planning to group together larger accounts and call them National Accounts.  One DM has already applied for the job as his head is also on the chopping block.  Tom’s replacement will be a nonevent BDM, who brought in very little business will move back into his old DM position being vacated by Tom.  Afterall Tom did a bang up job with the Green Cactus Grill.  How much did we write off from that business?  We also hear construction in Central Islip for the LI house is being pushed back 2-3 years.  I ran into a competitor that other day and he told me his company had an inside man at sysco Long Island.  So much for Ivan’s brainstorm about hiring the competition.  This guy reports back to his former boss about the inner workings of the company everything from new accounts to AR issues.  I suppose as long as you kiss Ivan’s butt it does not matter what you do.  Hell you will get a promotion, just look at the mgmt team Ivan has assembled.  All butt kissers with no substance.  I loved the cheer we did ending our Friday meeting.  That will help us bring in a lot of business.  Hip Hip Horray!

i thought phil c worked for sysco?  so why would he bash it?
