:ghug:just a reminder that tomorrow is Bill Vancleaves last day at FTD.
bill is truly one of the good guys and has many friends on this board.
He resigned his position last week. Email him good wishes at
[email protected]

He will truly be missed......
 
Done...

Bill is one of the good guys!!

Joe, at least we know he won't be the "Last Man Standing!"
 
NAW! Not in my book!

He's NO GOOD GUY in TOTO's BOOK!

He fired my/our Dear Friend at TOTO'S FAH, Julie Stotler, who was the manager, and one of the FEW PEOPLE that knew what the meaning of SELLING IS and how to train the troops accordingly.

He just called her into his office one day, and DID DA NASTY DEED!

Seems as if he, had A FRIEND he wanted to put in her place, not withstanding the fact that, ALL OF JULIE'S EVALUATIONS over her many years were IMPECCABLE!

What I really like about LIFE is that: " WHAT GOES AROUND, COMES AROUND! ", or JUST DESERTS IN THE BOOK OF TOTO!

Make no mistake that, at THEIR IVORY TOWER, there is NO ALLEGIANCE other than to THE ALMIGHTY BUCK and who they can S**W to get it.
 
Good Person To Me

i only know my dealings with him as a very good person.....
we all have to do somethings that others dont like in life.
live and let live.......
 
I've always liked and respected Bill a lot. I've never had a negative feeling about him, and I only rely on my own experience.

Sad to see him go.
 
Who Cares

Who really cares!

Now I would cheer if the posting read that FTD was leaving. This guy was part of the group that Direct ships, markets more nonfloral gifts than floral yet the Brand was built by flowers and we are supposed to cry for this guy. He made millions at the expense of florists.

Good riddence

I'm sure all that will change now that one of the good guys is gone Fox.

Who really cares? Sounds sort of like at least Stormy and I do.
 
To each his own

Yup - nothing but good dealings with Bill. One of the few good guys in that company, from this perspective.

rumor has it he resigned because he wasn't pegged to step into mikes shoes......

Somebody else (I think it was my Mother) said if you can't say something nice about someone - STFU.

Yup sounds like my Mommy alright.

(Not really - she wouldn't say s-h-i-t if she had a mouthful of it - one of her real sayings)
 
Re: Well then.........................

Seems to TOTO that, a few of you are still HOOKED ON COMPANY CRACK!

And, in the opinion of a few, small bob was just another good guy too, EY?

I make NO JUDGMENTS on any of these REAL FLORIST COAT-TAILERS, just some OBSERVATIONS which are based on THEIR ACTIONS.

Personally, and in my UMBLE OPINION, I have no use for anyone who steps on the little people in an effort to either get through another one of their bipolar tirades or use their title to remove good people in favor of their special friends.

Obviously, I must be out of sync with some of the KOOL-AIDE drinkers since this company is the same one who insists on DROP SHIPPING CUT FLOWERS, FLORAL ARRANGEMENTS, and GIFTS to the EXCLUSION of their OWN MEMBER FLORISTS while reveling in their MEMBER'S PASSIVE STREAMS of REVENUES and only using them for the SAME-DAY-DELIVERY needs of THEIR CUSTOMERS when THEY CAN'T DROP SHIP.

So, let me try and get this straight?

This company along with their CEOs and VPs relish in MILLIONS of DOLLARS in annual salaries, bonuses, and stock options, all off the backs of THEIR FLORIST CUSTOMERS.

The very same florists who they try and EXCLUDE from the more profitable side of the NO LABOR, NO DELIVERY, and NO SERVICE side of the DROP SHIP ORDER SPECTRUM.

After which and ONLY WHEN THEY HAVE TO use YOU for the FULL $ERVICE, labor intensive, professionally designed, personalized store to door delivery on the same day at LESS 29% with NO $ERVICE CHARGE and NO DELIVERY CHARGE fore U, that's when you'll get a very small piece of their pie?

I know some DAY LABORERS, albeit ILLEGAL, who got a better gig going on than most of this company's customers.
 
Why

:flowerfac

Judge not lest you be judged. thats what the Man said...

This board probably has 10,000 posts on how FTD is hurting florists and how florists should become wire service free. There has been postings of spread sheets and all other kinds of explainations of how the wire services screw florists over.

But let one guy leave, for who knows why and we get sympathy postings praising him.

Did I miss something? Is FTD now a good company? Are we supposed to rejoin?.This guy took florists money and lined his pockets. Now for whatever reason he is picking up his marbles and leaving. What did he do that deserves any mention? The one thing I am is that I call a spade a spade.

Again I say...good riddance
 
You reap what you sow my friend.

Ouch!

One of the decent guys hardly represents all the evils of an entire company.

In my eyes anyway.

I think you're feeding the wrong wolf, Fox. No, I'm sure you are.

opinions vary
