IT and Product Teams layoffs
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
GCC = Goodbye Corporate Career!
I stopped trying to predict the layoffs after the last several surprises
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.
Old layed off Leaders vs Current
Who is was better?
Layoffs
Any news on when layoffs will start happening again?
I wish more folks would leave
Especially if you hate it here. Leave this place to those of us who like working here. Everybody will be happier.
What's the situation with quitting?
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
CyBeRnotSeCuRiTy
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!
.5% raise
But we got Nike Shoes! What a slap in the face.
The “list”
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.
Staples hiring a Chief Growth Officer is like watering a plastic plant
This feels a little too late given the current state of the company and industry.
Anyone have any idea which orgs are up next?
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.
Layoffs coming?
What’s the scoop on layoffs for Richmond hill and Pendant?
Staples is a JOKE
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
Old Southeast Region
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
Merit doesn’t cover inflation
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
9 boxed and told to love it
If you didn’t get Nike shoes, prepare thy self. You are being 9 boxed!! Update that resume!
Inside Sales RIF
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
Any news about Bonuses and Merit Increase?
It’s already mid March, did anyone hear about the year end bonuses and merit increase? Are we having this year?
Long gone
I have been long gone from staples since “sick a more” bought it out. I am quite surprised that staples is still around. I wonder for how long. It does not look like a viable business model any longer.
SG Off to Greener Pastures
SG, the WFH champion, is moving onto Wal Mart. Is it because something will be coming down soon? Bonuses usually coming at the end of March...is that not happening? Merit increase this year? How about the engagement survey that usually surfaces in... — read more
I miss my old manager
Was a good leader. Stayed off my back and allowed me to perform. Thanks Sycamore for laying off the good ones…..
Don’t you get it?
The best leaders of the last 10 years have been laid off.
We've been cut down to the bare bones here
It's nearly impossible to keep up with the workload. My team lost more people in the latest round. Does anyone actually consider whether teams can still function when making these cuts? Sure doesn't feel like it.
Who here actually works 40 hours?
30 hours, 20 hours, heck 5 hours and has a second job they milk? You can get away with so much stuff!
Staples Baddie
Who else started following her on TikTok after the mention during the Enterprise Town Hall? I'm loving this employee-generated content and it will be really interesting to see what kind of sales impact she will have. The growth in number of followers... — read more
Raise the bar Orlando Kickoff Trip
Who is ready to show, blow everyone senseless, and get laid off in 3 months? Just put that money towards our salaries.
snow days & attendance tracking
We’ve had at least two significant storms in the last few weeks, depositing 12-18 inches across the region. And a smattering of smaller snowfalls also affecting commutes. What is the official expectation from corporate for weekly attendance when... — read more
Survey
Anyone have any insider knowledge when the next (not so-anonymous) survey is happening?
Corp badge in/out
At the end of February, each department at corporate will have detailed Attendance data for their staff. Every employee will fall into one of many buckets; In office but less than 4x week low time, meets 4x week but less than six hours in the... — read more
Staples Leadership an this Board
Can anyone still confirm leadership monitors this board? I remember the recruiting team managers were all over this board a year or two ago because feelings got hurt and top brass were getting pulse checks. Also, I know for a fact some of them... — read more
New tech positions
Positions open in tech, thoughts? How stable is the department and is it worth applying to?
