Thread regarding Staples Inc. layoffs

all i see staples doing is reducing costs which does add to profit in the short term but what is being done to increase market share? does not appear to be any long term plan to be a viable stand alone company.

Stand up and be proud while you are executed! What a bunch of nonsense. Staples just plain s---s.

"The Indian management has destroyed Staples and they are arrogant idiots."

How can you generalize like this? And why do you need to make "They" type statements? Can't you be civil?

How can I make statements like this you ask? Because it is the damn truth!!!!! I have been working now close to 45 years.....I have been with good and bad mangers in my career. I have never been subject to this type of management. First, some of these Indian managers are not QUALFIED for the position they hold!!! Only have the job because some fellow Indian hired them. They only care about their career path.....and they even treat their own country men like garbage!!!! Then leave after a few years and destroy the company, then off to destroy the next, leaving nothing but rubble in their wake.....

So true! The Indian management does not know what they are doing and they protect their own. Making one bad decision after another and blaming anyone who is not like them. This is not racism it is the truth. Wake up Staples!!!! Shira and Ron's Indian fetish took you down the wrong path.

I agree with the post about management. The Indian management has destroyed Staples and they are arrogant idiots. Biggest issue is most of them only hire Indians no matter how qualified they are for the job. It is an Old Boy system...but Indian style. If Staples wants to come back they need to rid themselves of these clowns. And look in linkdedin, it looks likes when one Indian VP leaves others follow to the same company!!!!!!!

Sycamore wants people to leave, particularly the senior and higher paid.

Raises? hahaha. The only mentality now is cost cutting, Ron and Shira were the best friends you'll never see again.

This IS the end of Staples. Man I can not stand propaganda. Just proves, Staples/Sycamore management visits this site on a regular basis.

But you got a bonus. And read the post again. Nobody said the company is doing well but it's not falling apart either. It's on transition.

It happens everywhere.

"Stand up and be your best" "The company is doing well "

Yet NO RAISES !!!!!

the handwriting is on the wall.

only the captain goes down with the ship.

One hole we could patch is the level of toxicity management has created at this company. I think that the first step in doing that would be to get the Indians out of management positions. I know it's very easy to call me racist for thinking this and i admit i am generalizing, but you have to consider the culture changes Indian people in management positions are bringing to the company. It would be ignorant to deny that people from a different country operate and bring a different mentality to the office. Many people who i have spoken to feel like they are just another faceless resource or piece in the generation of revenue. They don't feel special, important or valued in any sense of the word. That feeling to me is a huge indication of failure on the side of management. A big piece of being a successful manager is keeping your team happy and motivated while still completing goals. I understand the company needs to make money and that this is also a major piece to the puzzle, but so is valuing and maintaining employees. In this sense it creates a reputation for working at Staples which in my opinion is in a massive downward spiral. Many people won't admit this is how they feel because of course they are maintaining that professional barrier and protecting themselves. Which is understandable, However word does travel and the general conscientious seems to be the same at least in my area.
