Final Daze with Handleman

Just thought I would chime in with ya'll from up in da great white north once again. It's been a while.

First I must say - HOLY COW!! Lynette??!!!!?? It's sooooooooooo nice to hear from you!!

And as some of you may have figured out from my totally awesome subject...I am in my last days with Handleman. Ok...let's all say it again...Haaaanndlemaaaaaaannnnn. :) Got the news today - my last day is May 5. (Dang...I haven't even told my parents yet) The outlook for HDL is not good at all. Hopefully they have a little bit more of a clue as to how to make money with this "plan". It certainly will not be with selling stock. Ooooouch! Low blow :)

Lynette was right when she said we are a family. In our own quirky little way, we are! Over the past 2 years it has not been that way. They stopped caring about making the employees happy right around the time they made us stand up and applaud the new reps logo. (ahhh - good times...c'mon - who doesn't remember thinking "they're gonna call us what?!) Let's see...what happened 2 years ago? Oh that's right - "we" bought reps. And Patrice knew better and headed inland towards Chicago & Dyson. (is she hiring by the way?)

A few of the people I know are gone or are being laid off - Mark Brechler (done 3-28), Toni Popilek (done last week), Steve Young (done last week), Rich Mont (done last week). I'm sure it will be an interesting week next week to see who's stayin & who's leavin.

That's all for now. I will certainly direct people to this site!! It's so great to see info from all the goofy people I used to work with. And even those goofy people I don't know :)
