Thread regarding Staples Inc. layoffs

TOM STEMBERG was a genius and giving only initials is an insult to his memory. Those of us who were here during his tenure knew how great he was. He made very associate feel l8ke a VP and knew how to run this company. Ron burnt it down and SG threw the dirt on the grave. Now BCG has worked with senior manage,ent to plant the flowed on the grave. Let’s not even talk about. NR who was a 1 trick pony.

o.k. so loyalty that is bought is valuable? kinda goes against what most of us have learned

EB an unqualified leader?! TR an unqualified leader?! You’ve lost your mind. EB is one of the smartest individuals I know and one of the best leaders for motivating transformation. TR was the architect of the Furniture PM team and the reason they are as successful today as they are. The ones left, such as SS or VM, or MdL are the unqualified leaders. SP is relying on the BCG to remove the qualified leaders and knowledgeable seasoned personnel that can lead and guide them. Instead, SD is the equivalent of the Pied Piper leading all of you koolaide drinkers down the path of destruction.

SD or SP, Stephan is leading both through this so how can you say it’s not SP. SP is in it for the cash, not to save Staples. Stop being deluded.

SP is not the enemy here, it's the former leaders that burnt Staples down to the ground. SP had no part in that. They are here for a purpose and they will execute. And yes they deserve our loyalty as long as paycheck is rolling out. What they need to do though is look deep into the structure of the company, all these so called leaders who are there for Nothing, they need to get rid of them. Unqualified leaders that know nothing about their roll or the business. If I leave, it's because of management, not SP. Period. Sandy, I think you are a good leader. Don't stop weeding them out. I like you, I really do. I beleive in you, keep doing what your doing!!
