Let me make a minor correction to your post. they don't do it for no reason they do it for a sick and twisted reason. They get off on knowing that they are making people mad and unsettled.

No purge needed. Employees are leaving alone at rates higher than expected. I've been to 4 goodbye dinners this month

@UcMxqoK-1lan, you're right.

The point I was making is that Staples is using metrics like they did with retail. For example, when they wanted to get rid of store managers, they used Liquid Armor sales to fire for performance, not actual sales revenue.

So, a high-performing (sales dollars) manager would get fired for not selling enough Liquid Armor while a low-performing manager would be safe. Of course, usually the higher-performing managers were higher-paid as well.

I have to disagree with the "simple math" concept, though. A lot of correlations between a certain metric and high pay have to be analyzed to come up with a method to fire employees on BS metrics that don't add business value/revenue to the company.

They knew Liquid Armor sales could get great store managers fired. They knew that "premium" SBA account attrition rates would get B2Bs fired, regardless of actual revenue being brought in. There's some crooked math going on at Sycamore/Staples.

Based on Performance - Not so Some of the best performers have been let go in SBA. This trend will continue. It is based on income and expense to keep these folks on. Simple math - they cost to much!

There's no "purge" this month... at least not on layoff form.

There are firings happening based on performance. For example, the bottom 10% in B2B have been terminated this month. This trend will continue as necessary, terminating under-performers rather than laying off at random.

I'll leave the argument of Sycamore raising quotas knowing people wouldn't hit their numbers and firing that way to conversation. But, currently, over 70 B2Bs and other SBA associates have been terminated for not hitting numbers last month (that we know about in this department).

In the future, this review will occur monthly. Unfortunately, information regarding planned layoffs won't be available because firings are more discreet (even internally) than layoffs.
