Abbott Nutrition

Rumor is Dustin was fired today, can anyone confirm? What does this mean for Nutritious Snacks? On the block?

 

I'll confirm. Watched him walk out after speaking to Heather & Jerry.

 

The product just launched right? Firing the individual that conceived the idea now, what does this tell the marketplace? I am concerned over the future of our bar business.

 

I call BS on this post!

 

Who is Jerry?

 

Call it if you want... But if you work here look him up on Abbott World. He won't be there...

 

DVP HR

 

I support sales analysis for bar sales, should I be looking for a job?

 

Yes, look at your options soon, more drastic changes likely by mid Q2.

 

Pancakes for Abbott Nutrition, but no syrup.....Miles uses that on his Admin

 

We need Carbone BACK ASAP!!!

 

Prophetic, we are moving bar production to a third party, gone soon, our own people don't even eat our bars!

 

I heard production has been scaled back because the sales force provided less than accurate sales forecasts, add that to poor planning and execution and the answer is layoffs are coming by the end of Q2.

 

MB will be the ruination of the sales force. They say shi* rolls down hill. You can imagine the stink at the bottom. Good people, new people leaving. At some point you have to stop dissecting reports and trust that your DMs know their business, know their customers, know how to strategize and stop treating professionals like children.

 

Who's MB

 

Mark Berens

 

Adult??? Been out awhile. ESCAPED!! He's a bit light. Wow abbott is not the same by far.

 

Looks like failure has set in, GM fired, and now top folks in retail and operations are leaving.

Thanks Heather and Dustin.
