It would cool if Staples offered an early retirement package to those of us with 25 plus years of service. Make it worth taking a good long look at it.

They will cut you before retirement.
I hear Jerry is a good supervisor. Stick with him for professional growth and a rewarding experience.
The company sucks. They get away with paying the bare minimum, keep cutting health insurance benefits while top management is in. Constant state of change....The ship is sinking....Grab a lifevest and jump
I work for the Essendant side of things and every 2 - 3 years they offer early retirement with a severance package. I am surprised that don't do that at Staples since it frees up "employment costs"
I would take it! 25+ years at Quill.
They will offer you an early retirement in the form of a layoff like the rest of us that have been laid off. LOL
Hahahahahahaha…I’ll have what you’re having! I was there 21 yrs. they let me go without even a thanks for the memories. They thought it was kind to give me 12 weeks severence after all those years. That company isn’t giving anything away!!!
Haha...a Private Equity firm is like an insurance company...they dont just pay out lots of money to be nice...they kick and scream and drag their feet for as long as they can. Staples Canada offered everyone 33 weeks during recent layoffs...I laughed and called my lawyer. That was 8 months ago (Dec 2020)...who will blink first?
They offered early retirement in December 2019. I'm told there weren't hardly any takers. Had we known then what we know now!
lol I don’t think you understand the company you work for. Private equity is not in the business of spending money. This would be a major short-term expense that the owners would not benefit from. Sycamore’s exit strategy is here. They’ll be out of NAD by end of 2022, retail will be a slow march to bankruptcy.
Nah get fu---d, you shouldn't have picked a trash a-s company to bring down with your boomer a-s ways for 25 years. Enjoy being a Walmart greeter in retirement.
