Now, that, every penny owed to me has been paid out, it is time to post my thoughts on WB Mason, and especially the “leadership“ team, running it. I note the word leadership in quotation marks, as it must be used extremely loosely when referring to this company.
When one thinks of the word “leader“ they think of integrity, respect, compassion, and fostering a collaborative culture, that both inspires and motivates individuals to be the best they can be. Sadly, these components couldn’t possibly be more absent at WB Mason.
After leaving WB Mason, and working a short time now for a world-class organization, I couldn’t possibly be happier. It has also allowed me to derive the best possible words to describe WB Mason.
Those are… “toxic” and “amateur hour“.
Many of the every day business practices at WB Mason blatantly cross the unethical line. From commissions fraud lawsuits to knowingly selling fake N95 masks, this company consistently gets caught showing its true colors. Making up phony sales rep names like “Mary Black“ to move customers to, just before a rep gets paid commission on an order… What an honest and professional manner in which to conduct business!
The culture is one of fear, driven down in dictatorship fashion, and is… well, quite pathetic, and extremely unhealthy. It’s mind-boggling the type of behaviors exhibited by the Meehans actually occur, and almost as bad, the individuals on the receiving end accepting to be treated in the manner they are treated.
There are zero initiatives for improvement. Zero. Actually, ideas to better the company are not only frowned upon, but “leadership” actually scolds employees for even mentioning them. Yet another embarrassing example of the current toxic environment on vivid display at WB Mason.
I will admit, there are still a handful of good people there. And these are the ones I sincerely hope will realize that they, like me, are too good to waste another day at a company that will eventually fail due to its horrible culture and “leadership“.
I will close by stating that Miss Creehan is easily the most toxic individual I have ever had the misfortune of crossing paths with in my 30+ years in the business world. I can’t imagine going through life needing to yell and scream at decent people, YOUR people, in order to feel good about oneself. Classic Napoleon syndrome on full display, and insanely destructive to the company. Luckily, many of the people on the receiving end of these childish ego-rants, ignored him, just as I did, knowing he wasn’t worth a second of their time or energy.
Thank goodness for being able to ride the coattails of his successful big brother. Otherwise, CM would be a giant nobody.
I can’t possibly think of an individual more deserving of the inevitable failure that WB Mason will experience once the competition devours them and the company implodes.
So, to the remaining non- lapdogs, I offer this advice… rather than su-king up every ounce of the toxic Kool-Aid being served by the Meehans, show some integrity and character and save your career NOW and find a new professional home to move on to. One in which you will actually be valued, respected, and treated humanely. It will be the best move you ever make. Trust me.
One last thing, CM….. the Karma Police are coming. Soon. And they always deliver what is deserved.
