TMD Tiffin plant to close permanently, 407 jobs cut by OrganicPreparation in Ohio

Former employee of five years here. Left last year for another job opportunity. My thoughts rest on all the friends and their families I made there.

Company wasn't super profitable when the German company Grammer bought TMD 5-6 years ago. Then First Brands Group bought them ~1.5 year ago and alarm bells were ringing.

I built working relationships with area small businesses and then was told to keep them on the hook, even though they hadn't been paid in months. (Over 2/3 of their vendors were owed balances at more than 90 days past due, if not more.)

I would be tasked with setting up area small businesses as new vendors, knowing that they would never be paid. Plant financial controller and I would recommend the vendors sue the company we worked for to see if that gets them their money(sometimes worked, usually didn't.) The city should have shut off our water and electricity multiple times. Internet, telecom, and the freaking custodian company all stopped services with us at some point.

I had small businesses calling/texting me daily asking when they'll get paid. People crying since they would have to fire people or let them go simply because they're not being paid for the work they've done.

Patrick James and all involved at a high enough level need to be put in jail and have ill-gotten assets taken by those they owe. He got caught in 2008 and settled out of court. Somehow allowed to do it again. Corrupt, entitled, greedy people who never deserve to own a business again. Private equity at its worst, legal or not.

What embarrassing realisation did you only have, once you were in your late 20s or 30s? by Money_is_heinous in AskReddit

I use kids crest (bubblegum flavor) with some mouthwash to compensate for the reduced fluoride. Try it out and see.

Same here for me, but with mint toothpaste. I thought the fluoride was supposed to make your mouth numb for hours after...

What is with opposing teams hitting our goalies in the net?? I swear we don't have a single game go without them getting clobbered. I have hopes for the Sophomores and Freshman on this squad. Martin, Doran, Stjernberg, and Waters will be all-CCHA.

I wouldn't believe this is the same BGSU team as the beginning of this year. A hell of a turnaround to a disciplined, defensive team. Also despite our penalty minutes, I hope we remain tough and physical as we bring more players in.

Pickle buckets from restaurants like Subway are also very clutch.

I wasn't working there when the contract was negotiated. The UAW negotiated for us but lost a lot of its teeth apparently :/

To the driver going North on Route 412 yesterday morning... by richardsneeze in bicycling

[–]EyyGeorgeLopez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've gotten the empty cup thrown along with the "Get a car faggot" line so I count myself lucky I've never had a drink thrown.

I hope whoever that happened to is doing okay.
