I got let go in the Feb 13th layoff. I had only been at the company for 2 years.
I was in the 401K, and my understanding was that Staples changed the rules, and that employees hired after 2017 had to be there 3 years, before they are vested sufficiently so they can get any of their 401K match.
I don't recall all the rules, but, I think I had seen that prior to this change, that after 2 years you were 50% vested.
This seems a bit sleazy to me. Hire people, and then lay them off before 3 years, and don't give them any of the 401K match dollars.
