Overheard leaders discussing lack of meeting business needs is hurting SDS & heads will roll. Anyone else hear this?

Any word on whether more sales layoffs are expected? Seems like the team has already been reduced quite a bit. Curious how much more can be cut before there’s not much left.

When even the people who barely work are leaving, you know things have gotten bad. This place is such a joke that even the slackers think they can do better.

I created a side Staples Account on the Career sight and applied for the same job with the same resume but with a different name and got and interview….with the alt account. The other real account was denied. I was tops in every category. Yes, my... — read more 

Anyone know of changes happening this month?

Buckle up. Due to lack of meeting business needs VP shake up w large team shake ups & possible layoffs are on the table. Business behind all of it

SDS layoffs every 4 months but it costs over $500,000 to fly and lodge all SDS VPs and CIO as none of them live within 1000 miles of office. Is that wrong?

Heard a big announcement was coming next week ? Anyheads up ?

Former employee here. Just tried applying for a position that I’m overly qualified for and didn’t even get a call back. I’ve heard rumors of former employees being blacklisted, but does anyone have any proof?

Why was the Canada post deleted?

What a disaster! Laying off smart people and moving roles offshore for cheaper labor. No accountability. It's a circus! A CLUSTER----. BAD MANAGEMENT. They're coming for you next. Get your resumes out.

GCC = Goodbye Corporate Career!

Instead, I just keep my resume fresh and my savings padded. Whenever it happens, I'll be ready. Been feeling much better, to be honest, since I adopted this approach.

Who is was better?

Any news on when layoffs will start happening again?

Especially if you hate it here. Leave this place to those of us who like working here. Everybody will be happier.

Are you expected to work the two weeks notice or not? I start a new job in a week, but I don't want to not give notice if I can avoid it. Not that I'd want to return to Staples, but you never know what might happen, so I'd like not to burn any... — read more 

Why does this company continue to treat cyber security like an afterthought? Incident after incident, no lessons learned. Hire actual professionals rather than these afterthought staff!

But we got Nike Shoes! What a slap in the face.

Where’s the attendance list? Is it actually a thing or just a scare tactic to get people in the building. Inquiring minds want to know.

This feels a little too late given the current state of the company and industry.

I'm hearing all kinds of rumors, most of them sound crazy. Another round is almost certain at this point. Layoffs are just part of life now. Still, it'd be nice to have at least a vague sense of what's coming.

What’s the scoop on layoffs for Richmond hill and Pendant?

I’ve never seen a company quite like Staples that LOVES to promote and retain toxic individuals. It seems a requirement now to be an AVP is to be a full blown narcissist. Glad we are bringing in 2026 by sending a message to the hardworking employees... — read more 

As someone that is on the recruiting team, just letting you know, if you came from this old region, there is a talked about stigma. Saving you time. Don’t bother applying to any roles. Take that for what you will. It su-ks but it is what it is. So... — read more 

They’ll say it’s better than nothing 2% across the board No incentive to go above and beyond Bonus should be good though Guess they just didn’t want any permanent base increases

If you didn’t get Nike shoes, prepare thy self. You are being 9 boxed!! Update that resume!

Apparently, inside sales AVPs were made aware of the RIF coming next month and were told to review the impact list before it's finalized this week. All ICs, no leaders. If you're in the Orlando call center, it would be wise to make sure your... — read more 

It’s already mid March, did anyone hear about the year end bonuses and merit increase? Are we having this year?
