People stay here hoping that things will get better eventually. How is it possible to still have such hopes for this place? It's more likely that the situation could get even worse.

Biggest reason I couldn't stay. I have done this too long not to see the writing on the wall. I hope for the schools it will get better but I don't have any hope that it would get better for a long time if at all. Good luck to those that stayed.
@xgu+1mcVEypw , You are as truthful as Fox News! You are flat out wrong! It's not another day in another company with change being the only constant.
follett caused pain because it didn't want to change. It failed at every turn when leadership and vision were required. Its sale to a private equity fund was follett's capitulation to change.
Current ownership is all about change. They will strip down, spin off and reconfigure follett's assets until they've made the profit objective. Ownership's thirst for more profit is a constant, too.
Other company's have a strategy to promote growth, innovate products and processes. Staff get behind leadership's vision. People work hard and people work long hours to achieve objectives. That's another day in most companies.
You are as truthful as Fox News!
Well we're opening new stores, closing stores, hiring, laying off.
Our used book distributors are becoming limited (NBC gone, MBS owned by our biggest competition). Our digital and access partnerships are growing fast. New structure and titles, eliminated positions. New products and programs, outsourced functions.
In short, it's just another day in any business. The only constant are the every day changes. Every company, all the time.
