Thread regarding Staples Inc. layoffs

Absolutely no media coverage

Do we know the final number of people who were laid off by Staples yesterday? I'm wondering because I just tried to find more info on what happened, and I found exactly zero articles on it.

Is the number so small that it can be completely ignored? I've seen plenty of news coverage of layoffs in other retail chains, so I'm wondering what gives...

Hi everybody, I'm a journalist with the Boston Globe looking for information about this. I'd be interested in talking to anybody who is affected, or who has knowledge of the impact. You can reach me at andrew.rosen@globe.com or on my cell at 617-735-7865. If you use signal, I'm on there too at +16177357865 (same as cell).

Anything you can contribute would be a huge help. Thanks.

Hey, all. I'm a business reporter in Boulder, CO (near Broomfield) and I'm attempting to report on these layoffs locally.

You're probably right that all I will get from the company is a "no comment," so it would be great to hear from some of you so that I can get more into the story than that.

Please call or email: 303.473.1626 or castles@dailycamera.com. Thank you.

The list usually is only regarding your specific division or business unit.

I was laid off and received a list of positions (and ages of employees) let go from around the company. I only counted 157.

They’re private. They don’t have to report to Wall Street, and they don’t have to disclose plans. I guarantee if the media does get involved there’ll initially be a decline to comment from Sycamore like usual, and head office will use the usual “restructuring” excuse.
