Mike Mohr Destroys Trust in (and at) Quixtar

Dick, you might want to let Robin Horder-Koop know what Jim Payne and Mike Mohr have been doing these last few months. Here she is, your Vice President of Corporate Relations, telling the world on your http://www.alticor.com/ site that you are all about “Helping people live better lives” and that Alticor stands for words like “Partnership, Integrity, Personal Worth, Personal Responsibility and Free Enterprise”. Boy is she in for a rude awakening when people accuse her of lying! She even says, “We’re not just in this for ourselves. We know what’s at stake for our employees and our Business Owners and their children.” Excuse me Mrs. Horder-Koop, but I don’t think you do. Not at all.

Well, perhaps you do, but your bosses clearly do not. You might want to send a memo to your General Counsel’s attention and remind him what you think Alticor stands for and that you’re actually on record saying these things on your website. Ask him if you are legally allowed to say these things when his actions as the legal representative of the company say just the opposite. Please let us know his response.

You go on to say, “It’s our responsibility to build a business that’s viable for another 50 years and beyond.” Sorry Mrs. HK, but to many of the IBOs in the field who are watching what Mike Mohr has done and continues to do to destroy the very people who could have and wanted to help you build such a business, you’re just mouthing platitudes. I know, someone handed you a script and you were told to “sound convincing” and you almost, you almost did. I don’t blame you. You are probably a very nice person who finds herself in a very difficult position. I imagine it's quite galling to speak these things when you know what is actually going on!

While your at it Dick, better tell your Director of Global Sales, John Brockman, to stop saying things like “This is a relationship business.” – at least in public. Like it or not, these executives represent their owner (which is you), and when their owner takes no action to collar those executives who apparently have never heard these statements and live by a completely opposite set of guidelines (Mike Mohr, Jim Payne, etc.); such inaction proves to the average guy and gal that these words on your website are just empty promises.

Dick, the voters aren’t as stupid as Hillary thinks they are. You MUST act!

Mike Mohr and his staff are an embarrassment to the America who still believes that a man’s word is his worth. Unfortunately, Mohr et all are a living testimony to the America that is “Slouching Towards Gomorrah” as Robert Bork so aptly described in his book of that title.

Mohr belongs in the offices and hallways of the UN, where his kind of work is de rigueur and where he would be admired and praised for his duplicity.

Can it not be said that the life force of a business is a series of relationships? Your dad used to think so. John Brockman still does. Relationships are built on trust. No trust, no relationship. No relationships, no business. But Mike Mohr actually believes that it is his assignment to create an environment in which trust cannot exist and he does a spanking good job! Take a look at your metrics Dick and see what Mohr’s destruction of trust is doing to your company.

Give him another assignment - say in Viet Nam or China. Those folks are used to being abused. He'll fit right in.
