I used to be very happy here, and now I feel ashamed to still be working here. Anyone else? This is a job only for high schoolers/ college students. All those who left are now paid much more. Those of us who are left here are experiencing daily... — read more 

Plenty of employees are unhappy here, let's see what the main reasons are.

I've been here long enough to be used to having to do more for less. My issue is being given work I've never done before and being expected to know how to do it without any training. That's not how it works. Yet, every time I complain I'm the... — read more 

I used to be scared at every slightest rumor about cuts. Now when I hear anything about cuts, the first thought is that it would bring me some kind of relief as well. Anyone else? I started looking for another job and it is encouraging that many... — read more 

Staples hasn't been a good place to work for years. The latest layoffs are just another proof of that. There are many companies that are hiring right now that DO offer better pay and benefits (as somebody asked in another thread), and a much better... — read more 

I hate when we have no idea what's going on and there's no official word on layoffs, whether they're done or not. Does anybody know how many people were affected yesterday and what was hit? Have there been any more cuts today? A little more... — read more

If I could, I would've quit this place as soon as I found out that the new hire was paid more than me. I hope to find something new soon and leave because I don't want to work in a company that humiliates its employees like that. I’m sorry to see... — read more 

Good luck. They will be Wednesday 3/16.

What happened today? I heard only good things about their strong performance.

Since so many are quitting, I'm guessing this is a great time to find a new job? Is this true? How long is it taking people on average to find a new position? And I mean a position that pays better and has better benefits, there's no reason to leave... — read more 

Hang on because the latest Staples layoff is about to begin. Being the Staples Perf Review time of year, managers were told by directors earlier to put as much as 10% of their respective teams into the Does No Meet Expectations, or the Mostly Meets... — read more

Layoff meetings coming this Thursday and Friday. Can we get more info on this?

I see so many folks who get tired of working here - with good reason - leave for another retail company. Do they not realize it's only a matter of time before their new company is in the same situation we are now? Retail is dying. The only jobs... — read more

Do we really think Staples Canada is ready for an IPO this year? The free shipping for staples.ca is bleeding red ink and the Professional division is also struggling along. How can they restore this business to profitability?

The multi-million feel good show in Orlando, immature management who would not speak-up saying GTM would bury the company through destroyed client relationships. What holiday will Sycamore destroy next for the good people at Staples?

What are you waiting for, people? The writing on the wall can't be clearer. Take advantage of the current job market. Those who claim that there are no jobs are either trolling or too lazy to search properly. There will never be a better moment for... — read more

I'll bet that New Year's resolution for most of the employees of this ridiculous company is to find a new job in 2022..

Wonder if slick hair will order a new round of layoffs like the Grinch?

Recently looked through some old files and saw the names of all of the competent leaders who have left marketing. Then I join all hands to hear the new leader humbly describe herself as “super smart” and “sharp elbowed” as her reasons for getting the... — read more 

Every year, Staples provides gift cards (maybe $10 or $20 to various retailers) in the holiday card that they distribute. This year, the company policy is that there not be gift cards distributed and no company sponsored holiday meals. Come to think... — read more

Great communication (not) Staples sent out about time & attendance system being down. Its going on two days and nobody knows when it will be back up. Hope this doesn't effect our paycheck this week.

I was unhappy working for Staples for a multitude of reasons and relieved when I was severed recently. Would love to hear reasons why others were unhappy…. Pay? Your Manager? Benefits? What made people so unhappy at Staples that folks like myself... — read more 

Nobody should consider themselves safe when layoffs are nothing but a numbers game. It has nothing to do with performance and everything to do with the company getting rid of those who earn the most and then finding enough people in the low and... — read more 

I heard that there has been a couple of ‘retirements’ at a senior level - any idea of what that means for the sales and merchandising teams?

Everyone keeps saying that it is easy now to find greener pastures outside of Staples. And this is constantly being repeated but I personally know a few people who, after getting cut, cannot find a new job. I also know of people looking for other... — read more 

Leave. Best thing I ever did a few months back. Underpaid, haven’t paid out merit in a couple years and the actual sellers salary is not competitive. The rah rah of town halls is the same old tune, no strategy and it’s all for sale
