Thread regarding Staples Inc. layoffs

I for one am surprised...

With approaching 100k publicized store closures, and who knows how many more that didn't get reported, I am shocked that revenues are tumbling and layoffs are happening at Staples.

Who knew that the economy is all connected? Who knew that closing that many stores would have rippled effects, not to mention all the layoffs caused by the store closures. I guess it's hard to figure out when you spend most of your free time watching reality TV shows and on Facebook watching people talk about what they're having for dinner.

There are only like 1200 stores total so 10k makes no sense. And this was the delivery/B2B biz. Doesn’t mean retail won’t have their own bloodbath but so far this was on the delivery side. I don’t know how the people left are going to be able to get the work done.

This layoff had nothing to do with the retail stores. Who are you and where are you getting your info?
