Bashas', Inc. Retail

Bashas' Layoffs Continue in 2010

1
Very Poor
Bashas' quietly continues with the layoffs in 2010! Most notable layoff in March 2010 is Tom Dominick - Manager of Food Safety. How does a company lay off a food safety person in this day and age?

Poor
Complete idiots that ran the sales dept. Escorted me out like I was piece of trash. After more than 5 years of service.

Mattson Technology Inc. MTSN:NASDAQ , Technology

Mattson Ex

Mattson was a good company when Brad Mattson was a CEO. He care about his workers. Mattson I worked for back than operated much more of a personal level of cares and success for one another and the company. Now, if you work for Mattson you'll be known as a "object", an environment of thread, fear of being let go if you speak. A lot o... more...
