Can someone tell me which company’s employees are not supposed to move after 8 or 10 years in an organization? Do we expect people to work for companies till you are on your deathbed and can no longer work? Grow up guys, people get better opportunities, they move on , people find Monster a good place to work, they will come in, no company expects its employees to stay with them for the entire life….. People go, people come, companies stay and grow!! Did Bonnie give you the reason she quit or are you taking every goddamn chance you get to take a shot at MONSTER! Some kind of personal vengeance being taken care of, huh!

Are you familiar with the “Swat Team” that I introduced? It will penetrate wide and deep, it will dominate, it will steal market share…Monster is #1? Sounds like you’re the joke and on Auditor’s pay roll!!!

Global? Are you familiar with the mess we have gotten our self into with ChinaHR? Are you familiar with the fear of God that Sal and Yates has put into the Executive Team…One man is sinking this great ship, One man is crumbling the foundation we built and I don’t care how many hot dogs and stale burgers he buys us, it ain’t going to change the fact that MNST has lost their MoJo and is falling flat on Trumps face!!!

The former Founder and Chairman had a chance to buy LinkedIn for cheap money but choose to buy Tickle instead…You are so clueless and need to lay off the grape as it’s going to kill your liver…

INDEED! MNST only hope is to be acquired before Sal causes any more damage…

Yes, profits are up because:
* Sal stopped paying my reps for $400 Ecom JP
* Sal took away the white out, liquid paper, glue stic, tape and scissors from our desks
* Sal no longer pays four of us for teaming on a deal
* Sal ran out Monsta top sales rep Lieberman, b/c she was stealing all the salt and pepper shakers
* Sal will hires 400 field sale AE from Symbol in the next 40 days…Out source low send accounts to India

BTW, $12-$13 Million for six months on the job is fair compensation for a CPA? I want some of what your smoking!!!

wow i love how you choose one point of the article on cnnmoney.com talking about the CEOs payout. i think it is true that every ceo acroos the country, working for a public traded company. is probably grossly overly paid. but monster is still a billion dollar company so Sal’s payout i imagine is probably not out of the norm.

“Monster’s profit almost quadrupled to $146.4 million in 2007. Sales rose almost 21 percent to $1.35 billion”

just a little quote from the same article

i guess with all the turnover, problems with market share in the US, this new sales force with no talent still grew there year over year sales by 21%

listen the company ran into major problems in the US but you all still think that the US is where these sites will succeed? this is a gloabl economy. sorry but if i were running a recruitment site i would not be bankng on my cashflow coming from a economy that is worried about a possible recession. i would rather be targeting markets that are growing worldwide.

monster does need to step up and be innovative though. linkedin and sites like this are going to become an issue and if monster wants to stay number one WORLDWIDE then then they must take some of these innovative ideas and run with them. maybe even partner up with a linkedin

So Sal made a few ducket’s last year….Monster CEO Iannuzzi received 2007 compensation of $12.9M, yet he is shaking us down for $395 Ecomm postings…I’ve got to eat to Sal.

Phil “pro-active” Kuehne nice job promoting J.Wis and C.Moh…Great reps with translate to solid managers…You have a loyal lieutenant in David “The Ax Man” Phillips getting ride of the two bandito’s, be careful working the floor you might get your milk money stole or stuffed in a locker!!!

PS…Sally, I don’t care how many field sales people you bring on in the next 30 days, Your staff is suffering worse then a bad case of Darko food poisoning…
