Meeting going ahead! http://www.itbusinessnet.com/article/Northern-Ireland-businesses-risk-alienating-consumers-with-lack-of-online-presence--2949493 Hibu incentivising sales staff to promote their "new" seo optimised websites! New surveys new bs. Salespeople who are trying to safeguard their own situations will do as always have done, transfer money from one product to another to fulfill target parameters. Dog chasing biggest stick scenario. Customer loses as digital products s##t! Another sales person goes back and tells them that was wrong and switches them to something else. Paradigm of customer dissatisfaction and prompting deceit from their own staff! All while losing revenue and customers! Massively incentivising staff to bring new customers on for process to start again! Now under 300k paying customer s, i.e. directly from Yell!

LOL! I can't believe "nodeal"! If I were to draw a comparison I'd say that he was as inconspicuous as the brit masquerading as a French policeman in Allo Allo! It’s hard to say which senior member of staff he is, or just a biscuit boy of one of them? Also pleased to see that one can call a company and be told, over the phone mind you, of a legal process? Anyway, here’s an interesting article I’ve picked up today: http://www.whatech.com/members-news/ecommerce/17335-cardiff-businesses-risk-alienating-consumers-with-lack-of-online-presence which is in direct contradiction of a survey conducted in the North East by Hibu not so long ago. They they bought and then recruited and then brought an American rival and showcased him around the UK with facts/figures of how many people were using Yellow Pages (directories) as opposed to online? Surveys were also done in other areas and the results were no different. In contradiction to that survey, another survey was conducted doing the exact same by an online provider yet, in stark contrast, their results were polar opposites? It is alleged that Hibu roped this guy in and 3rd party hoodwinked their hapless salespeople yet again to convince the unsuspecting businessman in the facts and figures which, allegedly, were falsified and fraudulent? Looks like its business as usual for Hibu. Continuing to lie and continuing to make slaves of the salesforce and make cowardly attempts to be Teflon coated!

Gaius Cassius Marcellus stabber in the Louisville proverbial! Succumbed to the bs of the infidel! Believe in the Kafka that this was premedidated brainwashing and only hsg are aware. why don't I see court proceedings against UK entity?

Lol. What about senior managers standing up in meetings stating that sales staff (called cluster meetings in my time) couldn't lose? A lot of us invested at this point. One senior manager in another cluster was James Evans and Scottish colleagues confirmed this. He said no changes?. Or how about the sales staff getting reduced from 680 to 450 after deal and being told nothing about it? One manager in my old region (Newcastle has stepped down as they've had instructions to put everyone on performance management plans to get them out door! Or sales director Andy Chiltern highlighting average time spent to do job is 68 hours per week? Exploitation on scale unheard of. Have the press been made aware of this yet?

http://www.lse.co.uk/AllNews.asp?code=mg0aoxc4&headline=Hibu_Earnings_Decline_While_Capital_Structure_Talks_Continue All going swimmingly

Manager who left in big payoff said so. They were both big shareholders and watched this intently. Person in question is very vocal in this forum. Figure it out by looking at all posts

Did I tell you the one about the senior manager who stood up and multiple meetings advising staff to buy shares? "you can't lose"! That person is on here spouting against hsg. why don't you ask me how I know?

I agree that people are now earning money that weren't however disagree that hours aren't scandalous. Heard that ceo did survey and average person is working 76 hours! That is just slave labour plus having £60 off for every mistake. Goes from bad to worse. At least hibu have at least £50k to fight court action

Have heard that sales people who make minor errors in the complex sales process are being penalized financially.The total is over £50,000 in UK for September deducted from sales staff! Are they so cash-strapped that these exploited individuals are now being robbed? Don't know how true this is? Also that in North East 5 people left because of performance management! In other words staff cuts but too worried about public perception they're using mercenary means to get people to leave. Forced attrition of worst individuals!

Have heard that quite a number of sales staff have left because being squeezed like pimples. Have also heard that there have been people collaborating to take court action against them because of it. Don't know how true that part is but know first hand about squeezed part. Have heard that money continues to reduce and morale is in deficit?

Can't see more people getting paid off as they've already taken out hundreds of people, no doubt in prep for swap. also believe staff will have their share investment retained for newco? Not good for us though

Yellow pages still works very well as does yell.com. websites are average and they do good video offering. plus brand building display advertising and Google adwords? Customers are being looked after relatively well?

Tell us what you really think :-D

Maybe they should hlb but the message was clear, failing products, declining revenues, screwing salespeople to the deck to compensate and browbeat them if they don't. The only difference between AH and MP is that you knew where you stood with one of them!

Millions? Try under 300k. A customer is someone who pays. Freebies don't count? This share is like watching someone die in the 'death zone' above 26,000ft drowning slowly. It's agony to watch. Tuesday should see it out of it's misery.

I must correct butterflypeter in the assumtion that you're a child. I can see why he would think this with your pseudo-gangster rap style chat. I've now been told probably the right facts in that Hibu are a company of monkees and employ monkees. I'm presuming that between posting here you're out gathering bananas as the head monkey will be going ape beating his chest furiously if you come up short? (i know apes aren't monkeys!) Anyway must dash and try and punt these worthless shares as been told that this company has one foot in the grave and the other on a banana skin! BTW yell20, your name wouldn't happen to be Cheeta would it? ;-D

That’s by far the most pathetic tirade I’ve ever witnessed on here by an individual and you work for the company! This company sells sub-standard and third-party products and is way too late to gain foothold in a market that should have seen them flourish. Advertisers have lost all faith and their customer base is dwindling rapidly. I am the same as others on here and shocked that it’s still here at all? If Pocock thinks highly of you and the garbage you write then Hibu are F****D! I suggest that you butterfly a public apology?
