SUPPLY CHAIN DOOMED. NOTHING BUT H1 VISA FOLKS. PRES. TRUMP, WHERE ARE YOU? DO SOMETHING!!

Gave my manager in .com my resignation May 8th for a term date of June 8th. Manager goes on leave so I call HR this week to see what I need to do and they don’t even have a record of my notice? Good ridence ノ(ಠ_ಠノ)

The results are in and the number of people NOT hitting a quota (that cannot be explained) is mind blowing. I would say the number is < 8% in our office. Chew on them apples. Sycamore just made (took away) millions upon the backs of hard working... — read more

Do we have any indication on how big were the layoffs at Staples this week? Can we hope for a slowdown now or should we expect more in the following several weeks? While I am certainly hoping it's the first option, something tells me that the company... — read more 

You know, when did the HR folks get the word to dispute and attack all negative posts as the work of trolls? When were they authorized to attack all of the off-shoring of jobs as racist? Do the HR folk really believe that this is not transparent? I... — read more 

My 5 years in FS is coming to an end. My last day will be May 25! I can no longer put up with all the internal b---s---, drama, and unrealistic quotas. This job and company has gone down hill quickly in the past 2.5 years. Since I handed in my... — read more 

The common refrain from the trolls here has been that CP wants to gut the company and sell the scraps. The other theme is that CP doesn't give a damn about the contract business. Given the news this morning, that narrative is full of holes. Look for... — read more 

TJX just outsourced 500 jobs to India, wonder how long it will be before Staples does the same. I've heard rumors a month or so back about this which i mostly ignored, but now it looks like it's becoming more and more of a reality. To be very clear... — read more 

On a positive side, I'm actually seeing a little more media coverage of layoffs at Staples. On the negative side, I really wish people would get more accurate information. For example, an article I found yesterday estimates that 200 people have been... — read more

Good to see management finally acknowledge that they have created a sh!thole toxic work environment through all of their constant bad decisions. Over past months we have lost TONS of amazing talent. Staples is no longer a stable work environment and... — read more 

They will be downsizing the inside sales group in Maitland. From I heard they will just be keeping a skeleton crew. Has anyone else heard the same?

Expect more layoffs in SDS. Staples IT budget was roughly 3 times higher than Coke's and delivered medoicre results at best. So much bloat due to the foolish belief that we needed to build everything ourselves. Is this just guessing or was there... — read more 

There is very little info available on this week's layoffs. Does anybody know the final number of those who were laid off and which locations and departments were hit the hardest?

This will mark the one year date of sycamore takeover. They will no longer be bound to severance packages as laid out in the agreement. This layoff will be massive. Unlike any that have transpired before. Slash and burn after 1 year mark. I am sure... — read more

Why is DL in the building today, and what is this meeting at 4pm people claim to not know about?

10 people so far have been impacted.

Any word on this store closing? Been pretty slow here

Get ready !

I think my store is closing, but do they just close the doors? Is there a severance package? Or do we just stay with a liquidator until it's over?

There were more layoffs in merchandizing this week. Executive assistants were let go! Have mercy sycamore. We have families to raise! What are the chances that last week's layoffs are done and they will not spill into this week? Or should we prepared... — read more

Hi. What is word on raise or bonus? Team meetings are scheduled for later today.

I heard some people were let go yesterday and it was hush hush does that mean there will be more today?

Honestly we do NOT need anyone in sales under a BDE level. They are all pretty much worthless and depend on everyone else to do things for them anyways. You are in sales, a dime a dozen. Sell or get out!
