What Is Massey Chemicals? A Review of the Massey Chemicals Corporations Marketing Claims
What Is Massey Chemicals? A Review of the Massey Chemicals Corporation's Marketing ClaimsTo recap, this article will examine the Massey Chemicals incident. The allegations include CEO Greg Hayes, multiple sales representatives being fired or demoted without reason and blatantly false claims made by company employees.During the Massey Chemicals episode, the company's general counsel held a conference call to 'clarify' company policies. However, it seems to me that this was more about telling everyone at the company that they needed to take stock of their position and to not make statements to the media. Additionally, it is common practice for corporate attorneys to hold such conference calls for an initial period of time, to allow employees and executives a chance to hear the points of contention on board meetings, and then to have them end when both sides are satisfied.The subject matter is only the opening volley. There is more to come.It's worth noting that one of the products prod uced by Massey was used to start my small business and for a number of other business in my industry. I spent thousands of dollars with a company I worked with at a wholesale distributor before Massey purchased it. Ultimately, the distributor ceased operations, which greatly reduced my income as a small business owner.Still, I am not sure whether the head of Massey International is right or wrong to dismiss all of the claims of claims that were made against his company, especially those that would be difficult to prove. But I do know that a corporate attorney could very easily be facing some serious fines and sanctions for investigating the situation.Perhaps he should have not addressed such minor details at the conference. What he should have done, for the sake of the company, was to be more transparent and open about the situation rather than simply silencing those who were raising questions about the company.I'm glad that the whole thing has come to light and there is at least a chance that it will result in improvements to its business practices. I hope it creates greater transparency within corporate America. And, perhaps, within society as a whole.If I had the answer to the question of what Massey's business practices were all about, I'd be able to provide you with a much more accurate answer. Instead, I will just say that I believe in trying to be as transparent as possible and presenting accurate information to the public. For me, the answers of what Massey's business practices are, if any, remain murky.
