Thread regarding Staples Inc. layoffs

Collectively Culled. More like collectively cucked by the LedMan bull.

Inhumane. That was an excellent description.

Whoever wrote collectively culled is a lawsuit waiting to happen. Look up what that means.

I agree but that requires dropping JL and his minion JH. Innovators believe in people at all levels, not just those they can leverage to enrich themselves.

“Staples is still very heavy in the long term, stagnant employee pool.” And more “culling” to come. Older and tenured not valued and will continue to be targeted translation.

Shows that SLT loves to post here and anyone liking this post is definitely SLT or strategy team which I question the term strategy for anyone in that group. Nothing strategic about that group. Look up definition of culling if you don’t believe. JD is that you posting, if not guarantee you liked the post. HR leaders should be protecting associates not doing the dirty work of the JL the Inhumane.

Wow, “collectively culled” how disgusting to use that term, but so enlightening as to how the tenured team members are thought of and abused, Very descriptive of what you have been doing for years. “Selectively Sla-ghtering” the careers of those that were dedicated, driven, and drove the success of the business. It is not their fault that the strategy and investment in the business failed to innovate or evolve.

Pivoting and innovating is what many of your tenured and experienced folks have been doing for their entire careers and the companies inability to actually execute successfully due to their leadership and operational ineptness. What a ridiculous rebuttal. Your poor hiring and promotion decisions since company went public and dollars invested in the same gtm strategies that are just recycled speak volumes. Your loyal tenured experienced leaders want to look forward but learning from the past is something that should be valued not dismissed.That’s ok, continue to position the same strategies to the new team members they won’t know it’s the same plan in a different deck. Buy you some more time to continue to collect your double digit growth EBITDA and pay the owners and those at the top the big bucks while everyone else gets bled dry or fired after being dedicated and driven to build the company and drive the success.

Staples is still very heavy in the long term, stagnant employee pool. Part of the challenge is the large portion of tenured employees that want the company to return to the 'good days' when it had just started out.

Those days are long gone, and the company needs to continue to pivot and innovate, and those that want to revert backwards need to continue to be culled.
