Abbott Nutrition

[anonymous]

I just picked some up at the local grocery store, interesting packaging, looks similar to other bars in the isle, will be interesting to see how well they are received, price point seems a bit high.

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

Ross was the joke of Abbott. The Abbott bottom of the barrel were always demoted to Ross and then they got dumped. Good Riddance

Did you enjoy your time at Ross before you were canned James?

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 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.

A bar line that is different for AN but that looks like many others on the shelf. I see failure in the next 6 months, sold off.

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.

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

Thanks Heather and Dustin.
