Anyone seeing a drastic cut in store hours? More than usual after Christmas or is it just here in the Southeast?

Checked my year end 401k total and it looks like staples quit matching contributions this year. No notice and the recruitment website still says they match contributions. Guess I did help pay for those employee appreciation lunches this year. ... — read more

I recently left Staples, but I stopped by this forum to see what was going on. So I came across a post on one of the threads here in which someone says that it is noticeable that workers put in minimal effort. The lack of interest in Staples`s... — read more 

Go ahead, I dare you. I see people complaining about how bad Staples is, how it’s going to go down in smokes. If you hate the company so much why don’t you grow a pair and leave. No one is forcing you to stay. The company doesn’t need you. There is... — read more

A director in SBG was let go last week. Anyone else of any other departments?

Is the gender neutral term. I hope you will use this going forward Staples. No Spanish speaking country uses LatinX. That is whitewashing and is not pronounceable in their native tongue.
