Thread regarding Staples Inc. layoffs

Think about these rumors...

Although anything can happen where does it make ANY sense to close down the Maitland office?

90% of the Account Managers are located there. This is the only division thats profitable for the company. So ok go and close down the building and make layoffs, then what? How can Sycamore justify their investment if they let go of the biggest driver for the company?

I can see them making cuts to outside roles, specialists, and brick and mortar. IF anything people who work for the .com side should be ready to find work elsewhere or get into Business Advantage

ECommerce is the future of the company, why would .com people be worried?

Hate to burst your bubble, but people will continue to use SBA without a dedicated account manager, you don't have near the impact on your book as you think.

The AMs will be moved to an offshore model. Maitland Blvd rent is high. The original plan was to open that office in Texas - and that may have prevented what’s about to happen. There are some potisions that will be asked to transfer to the closer brick and mortars (using that as their virtual office so to speak), but the rest will be severed.
