Thread regarding Office Depot Inc. layoffs

I have worked for all three companies now. Two of them I have been in the management seat. OM was a good company, Staples was terrible, and OD was by far the best. Now that OD is having "hostile takeover" by Staples things will only get worse. The writing is on the wall for OD employees. Staples is a horrible company to work for and all they care about is the bottom line. They care very little for their employees and almost go out of their way to show it. With Staples you are a number who better produce money. With OD there was a great work life balance, with Staples there is 0 work life balance. You are a number that receives a paycheck that is all. Many of the changes that are at OD are in line with Staples practices. I can't believe that they knew about this since September of 2014 and did nothing to prepare or let anyone know what was coming. Get out if you can before stores start closing. Closing captains have been assigned, certain store managers have been offered their severance packages already.
