Something very different from the norm has been going on the last year. Massive layoffs Feb 06 and consultants everywhere

I knew this was going to happen, just by the way things were being "re-organized"...

Glad I left the company when I did.

This is not a rumor. There are two outside companies here right now at NBTY doing a study to help spiff the company up so when the for sale sign is hung in the window, we'll have more interesed parties. Sad day for all those at NBTY.

There is no false tales here. It is up for sale. There are currently two outside consulting companies here to help spiff up NBTY. When they are done, the for sale sign will be more attractive when hung from the window. A sad reality of the corporate world.

Well put it to you all this way. The people that have to worry and that are worrying is the big wigs and management. They will be the first to go. When NBTY buys companys thats what they do. They clear them out. The rumors are NESTLE AND BAYER are interested. When you Say NO COMMENT which is whateveryone is saying. Usually means ITS TRUE. If it was all false why wouldnt someone say WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? OR NO WERE NOT BUYING OR SELLING.There has been no one telling the employees THIS IS ALL FALSE. So Its seems its gonna happen. Scott Ruldoph is 49 years old. Who wouldnt want to be retired on top of the world by the time they reach 50? Can you say BILLIONARE and never have to work again! Think about it! All the signs show its gonna be a sale. All the little people will be safe. Whoever buys will need them for all the operations.

Once Scott said that Rexall was one the best organization he got, the only one certified by Europe , therefore,THINK if he wants to sell NBTY ( corporate) he is gonna show Rexall first. Today pictures are being taken and video being recorded of all buildings and operations at Rexall Sundown.
NBTY Associate if this is the first time that u going thru this and you are part of production do not worry , Production is the heart of the business, usually whoever comes, comes with more and fresh ideas to make it better and who knows maybe later sell it again., as it was said before -->

We all love NBTY, but if Scott has no more fresh ideas to make it better I think is better to move on.

SUPPOSABLY NBTY BOUGHT A COMPANY SOLGAR AND THAT IS NOT LISTED AS A PART OF NBTY. SO MAYBE HE WILL KEEP JUST THAT OPERATION? ALOT OF FIXING UP TO THE BUILDINGS THOUGH IN NY. SOMETHING IS DEFINATLY UP.

IN NY ALSO EVERYONE IS BEING TOLD BY THE MANAGMENT : "NO ONE HAS ANYTHING TO WORRY ABOUT" I GUESS THAT WAS THE LINE THEY WERE TOLD TO TELL ALL THE LITTLE PEOPLE BY THE HIGHER UPS.(IT WAS SAID IN NUMEROUS BUILDINGS). SO IN OTHER WORDS THE PEOPLE TELLING YOU THIS WILL BE THE FIRST TO GO AND ALSO. "BE WORRIED!"
