I work at Staples’ largest DC and all the leadership is freaking out about the budget. They are cutting hours and closing the warehouse early most days. Thinking layoffs are happening soon but in true Staples fashion we are still hiring. Wondering what is going to happen ie layoffs store closings.

Staples DC and FC to be ship points for SP’s other portfolio business?
Posts are starting to pop with FC and DC comments. Not good when those close to customers see a shift.
The warehouse is in Maryland.
They can't lose the warehouse early. The cut off hrs are 5pm for next day delivery. Need people to pull the orders to ship out by linehauls.
What state is the DC in?
They will not hit their new budgets and they damn well know it. The only way to reduce the bleed is layoffs. Expect a full blown management adjustment by mid year. This will be management for all 3 parts of staples. Heaviest hit will be SBA and North American stores.
