This is Follett leadership. They get the termination packets out in one day, but fail to tell valued employees that they will be losing their jobs. Why? the home office didn't know anything about it.
Regional manager Bert Ramgren, who runs Broad Street Books for the Follett Corporation, did not comment after repeated requests from The Argus before the publication of this article. Follett Corporation communications officials also did not comment after repeated calls to the company’s headquarters in Westchester, IL. Spokesman Thomas Kline, who was unfamiliar with the Broad Street Books situation from his position in corporate headquarters, only suggested consultation with University administration.
Great communication, follett! You lose a bid and you fail to tell anyone on campus? If a report is late to HO, one gets a lot of unwanted attention. Executives screw up a bid, and don't think to tell anyone. Fan-friggin-tastic!
Its funny how one comment on that article says: "No one cares"
Sums up how students feel about follett managed bookstores in college.
Shame on Follett for being cowards & letting their 'valued' team members know they lost the contract. So much for transparency & Follett values.
