Anyone expecting more bad news today, centering on retail?
I am thinking last weeks corp. layoffs were just the start.
Bad management from the store to exec level!
Staples doesn't know customer service, they just want as much money as possible from customers. Conversion is a joke because a family of 5 can come in and 1 person buys an item. That just killed the conversion(1/5)! Happens all the time and when I... — read more
Before you go back
I am a former disgruntled employee just laid off of staples with a warning to any drivers going back.The reason why they are calling you back is because the merger did not go through and it will end the retail side.At this point the higher ups will... — read more
#staplesassociatesabandonship
The majority of non corporate Staples associates (yes the majority) get behind the changes each year. They support Staples by picking up the slack from the cuts, go above and beyond and salary associates put in EXTRA time to absorb the cuts. The sad... — read more
Frustration guaranteed!
MORE FOR LESS! It should read MORE WITH LESS!!! Coming up on 5 years with Staples I have never been so frustrated, angry, anxious and scared. I have put in 5 years of my life with this company and for what!?.. A .13 cent raise and some star... — read more
Impossible goals
Ridiculous goals for rewards! Our store now needs 70 new signups a week. We are a small town store most of customers are regulars who already have rewards. Store runs about 80% rewards penetration, if thats not good enough I dont know what is. And... — read more

How depressing is corporate today with everyone leaving?
Keep the information flowing in!
Staples is trying to portray a company that has simply hit a few bumps. This is to benefit the wealth a few and harm many, many others. This company, or what's left of it, is in the toilet and a few people are looking to fill their pockets with... — read more

The only people who come to this site are people who want to complain so the only only people who will see your posts are other complainers. Like Joe Baxter always said, we want results...not excuses and for the past several years all anyone does is... — read more
Tom Conophy
First meeting I had with CIO Tom Conophy he told a team of engineers his favorite sound was a machete being unsheathed before it lops of heads. It was a pointless threat to a group of enterprise architects who had no people mgt or control of waste... — read more

"Do more with less"
Things are going to get worse. Push digital receipts, rewards, liquid armor and cut labor while giving platinum service!! Oh yea, let's send out more coupons this week so we can close this period/year strong while cutting payroll.
Make more happen with less payroll.... What a joke!
Vinnie needs to go .In fact the company as a whole needs to evaluate how they treat the staff not corporate america but the retail bottom feeders. Come to the store and walk in our shoes for a week you dick heads. You have not a clue as to what we... — read more

Store Closings Next

Corp Cuts - A bloodbath

Crooks
I really want to say that these clowns have such a bad reputation that they would not got hired in an executive capacity any where else, but I'd probably be wrong. These guys are just one step ahead of crooks like Kenneth Lay, Bernie Ebbers, Sanjay... — read more
I work on the fulfillment side. We have heard absolutely nothing, nada, zilch about any layoffs.
I work on the fulfillment side. We have heard absolutely nothing, nada, zilch about any layoffs. I saw an article online last night and emailed my FCM who only heard rumors. I've been with Staples for 8 yrs; this past year was the worst. WMOS upgrade... — read more
Boycott Staples retail and online business Friday. Let's get this going nationally.
Tell your friends. Post everywhere. Tell the media. Let customers vote with their money. If customers knew their money was going to pay top management bonuses while 500 employees across the nation file for unemployment they will not spend their hard... — read more
No tears for Demos
Just let me remind all of the infamous video of an angry Demos (about 3 years ago) berating store managers that complained about their bonus being eliminated. Demos took a huge stock bonus that same month.... AXXHOLE!!! Good riddance... can't wait... — read more
Curious
Was Ron even in the building yesterday? I figure Demos was told of this before hand, likely Doody and Burke as well. That still leaves 150 angry and distraught people looking to channel some frustration.
Time to make ditch Ron. Contact the BoD now. I have started a list and contact info for the BoD. Please add to it if you know the email addres

Violation of the WARN law? (Layoff disclosure laws)
If hundreds were laid off, then by law isn't the company supposed to publicly announce the layoffs? AND give employees ample notice?
Staples Lays Off Hundreds of Employees “It was a bloodbath,” says one source
http://fortune.com/2016/01/25/staples-lays-off-hundreds-of-employee
Who's out?
Who did they let go and why? Was is based on your pay? Any other higher ups, regional or district managers? And why does demos get to stay til word on the merger. Big payout? Anyone else get this option?
