Thanks to everyone who provided accurate information- And to ask the trolls who are bitter and rude, karma will get you and SHE will be wearing RED!

I am glad to see IT gone. Who in their right mind would ever dump the UPS program (and the address book) at prime time?? What idiot authorized that? Who is in charge of the registers which don't work?? The computers which run slower than AOL dial up?... — read more

Any layoffs in Inventory Mangement Today??

I heard they got hit pretty hard! Which areas got hit? Due to the Technical folk losing their positions, did Management get axed as well? Global is the Gold Standard. MM was awesome!

...you are going to be ok. Yes layoffs pose a fair share of complications and disappointment but it's not personal and you will survive. I was laid off today, the 2nd time in 6 years. I knew it was coming and welcome the thought of never talking to... — read more

No need to ever read this site again. The amount of misinformation shared here by people with nothing better to do than fear monger is staggering. SG fired - nope Maitland closed - nope AMs offshore - nope Age Discrimination - nope

Does anyone know where to access our W2s? I would ask our HR person, but she was let go as well.

There’s a lot more out there for those who work hard to get it. Staples is a failing company but that doesn’t have to define you. Trust me, the ones responsible for the failure will never take responsibility. So don’t let it weigh to heavy on you... — read more 

Anyone know if/how Quill has been affected? Specifics if possible, but no names please.

We'll see how things transpire - there is 'some anxiety' but definitely no layoffs at the HO. I hope all turns out well and this round of cuts continues to be limited in scope.

One of my team members just got canned.

Are there going to be tv stations or news reporters outside of Framingham office tomorrow?

We all know how difficult and stressful the last few years have been at Staples. I am part of one of the 3 offices, rumoured to be effected by upcoming layoffs. Plus, if there is any truth to layoffs starting tomorrow Jan 16th, then their are people... — read more 

Is this site truly anonymous? How do we know?

It seems that January 16 is pretty much a given for major Staples layoffs, at least according to posts here and rumors I've been hearing around the office. I'm mildly put a nervous wreck due to it. I'm nearing 50, and I was hoping to retire working... — read more 

I left staples last January, I worked for Staples only three weeks in 2017... Anyhow, after 2 years, it was time for me to move on... The final paycheck had an enclosed W2 - long story short, I've lost it - had to move twice, etc, etc... How do I... — read more
