Thread regarding Staples Inc. layoffs

You’re working at Staples

Somehow some guy who knows about promotions and demotions specific from HR leaks the information weeks in advance and oddly that person and the person in HR still has a job and the behavior is accepted.

A new contractor shows up in your dept out of the blue.

you leave the scrum without an assigned task

You don't hear your name mentioned during a team meeting.

people stop talking when you walk by

FYI in MA you can collect unemployment whilst collecting severance at the same time I know I did it and it is not illegal.

They ask what responsibilities they can take off your plate to transition to someone else.

Here's one: your boss positions themselves as competent to do your job, cons their own boss into believing it but is actually just parroting what you told them and what they desperately read while simultaneously discrediting you in order to save themselves.

What else, wellwhen you come in 2nd week of September, and you can’t log into the staples Network, hint hint, you are done. Also if your boss gives you all the freedom in the work between now and then, like be lousy all you want, hint hint your boss don’t care anymore, your days are number. And when you ask if you are safe, boss tells you, I don’t know, I don’t even know about myself. Hint hint, your are on the chopping block. Embrace this, nothing like months of severance, then you collect unemployment 3 to 6 months, and if you are broke as hell by then, then go on food stamps, if you don’t have a home, beg for section 8. There you go, it’s all good, then you also have state medical insurance, hey nothing wrong with that. Clap 👏 clap 👏 clap 👏

you are asked to update or document the work you do, by mid SEP
