Hi All – how do I get my W2? It’s almost the end of the month, I haven’t received my in the mail. I tried the e-Delivery website and I cannot re-register (the site’s telling me that I need to register, but I have an account – I do not remember ever... — read more 

Here is my story. I am a copy center associate, so pretty low on the Staples ladder. As a matter of fact, I do not think you can get any lower. The pay s---s, and the hours are sometimes unpredictable. I am to leave in about a month and I am ok with... — read more 

What do these people do? They are completely useless.

Congrats Staples. Way to go Syc! Great business move. Wish everyone the best!

Anyone have additional information on this? How wide spread it is? I was hit, along with my coworker. 91

Feb too?

A future of success. The company is actively right sized for profitability and sustainability. Real plans, real goals and real talent. I realize some may be affected by changes and are not happy about those changes or because of legacy. I would say... — read more 

Any Livonia layoffs yet?

The headcount terminations continue...

MidMarket had a couple of RSDs let go today. Couple "transferred" to new roles - probably demoted. 2.0 is near and so is Orlando in March! Oh joy!

They nuke NAMES, they NUKE dates, and somehow the layoffs keep coming EXACTLY as expected. The HR trolls are mostly silent today. Maybe THEY got laid off hahahaha.

At least 40 let go in facilities business development. All were on a conf call and got the word. Nasty way going about it but not surprised.

Saw a post about a office affair...whered it go? That guy that heads up that office is a mess.

2 weeks and the door will be swinging. Massive shake up coming. Welcome to 2.0!

Any word of layoffs coming for B.I.?

From what I've heard the IFSS role is going to be eliminated, but it is going to be replaced with two new roles, one focused on inbound leads / opportunities with most likely a decreased pay, or a full cold calling outbound position with potential to... — read more

All I want for Christmas is some transparency. End the cheerleading and drop the hammer of reality.

What do we get in severance if we are lucky and get laid off in Jan 2019? Can we ask to get laid off? I'm ready, so ready. Lay me off please!

Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year. Your jobs are now secure. Lots of work to keep you all employed. You can breath now!
