Thread regarding Staples Inc. layoffs

New Logo New Brands New Focus

I like the new logo. And the new brands seem cool. I’m just not sure that it’s enough when the real issues remain unaddressed: Amazon, Costco, SP dumping $1B in debt on the company, continued high turnover.

I hope the company makes it for the many good people still working there.

I am curious about the new “customer-first” focus. Shouldn’t that have always been the focus? Just saying it doesn’t make it so, and as the proof is in the pudding, we’ll see if customers buy into it.

A lot of money was spent at the Orlando meeting. It may be too little—too much—too late.

As for me, I’ve made the switch to 90% Amazon and 10% Office Depot.

BTW an upside down horseshoe is bad luck, the idea being the good luck spills out, makes sense for Staples though, heh heh heh

No such thing as an upside down horseshoe, unless you're a Colts fan...

My first thought on the new logo is that it looks like a horseshoe, an upside down horseshoe. I'm just saying!

"together we are stronger!"

Another recycled Shira-ism.

Or was it HIllary?

The company is fully engaged and focused to merge all independent dealers to compete against the likes of Amazon, Depot,etc. The newest addition will be W.B. Mason to recent acquisitions likes Hi Touch. The new Staples will contain many small dealers because together we are stronger.
