4/19 - this will be popcorn day. Make sure to have all your work done on 4/18 so the transition is positive and you have time to mourn like the others.

I am so sick of this company saying "we don't have hours" that I could scream. So, if nothing is prepared for graduation or for incoming merch or books... that is on follett/jrc. Working with a skeleton crew or by yourself is not good management or... — read more 

What’s going on?

Are more layoffs going down today?

I've spent all morning following up on unpaid invoices from publishers not being paid. At the same time, no payroll budget... Broke?

The end

Just asking someone to do their job - literally, asking them in a normal tone - gets misconstrued as yelling. What's going on with today's workforce? If a manager doesn't say at minimum "Wow, excellent work, well done," they're seen as overly... — read more 

I am curious for those of us that were on the first call and laid off from the get go, are you checking yes, to may we contact your former employer? Or, are you checking No, and providing the work number? While I found a job very quickly, I am not... — read more 

Schools not getting their commission payments, vendors not getting paid, systems randomly down. Knee jerk response to shiny problems. Leadership starts at the top. That’s Kolady. Booo.

I got laid off because my position was eliminated. Now it is suddenly back on the market a month later. I'm going to be sick.

Everyone ready for the next batch of layoffs? Mid-month is just a couple of weeks away. Good luck.

Ya know. When I was doing four jobs the other day it kinda hit me. This is probably a trap. The whole hours thing. Because now the whatevers upstairs can use us not finishing our daily duties as cause for termination. Maybe bring someone in who will... — read more 

During the recession of 2008 layoffs were everywhere. The Nintendo CEO at the time, Satoru Iwata, took a different path. He shared “If we reduce the number of employees for better short-term financial results, employee morale will decrease. I... — read more 

Well... there go the part timers...

Whose idea was this scorecard nonsense? Fulfillment rates dropping like crazy because of the useless systems we are forced to deal with. Just admit you don't want to pay bonuses.

Did anyone else here about the CM3's having to basically do door to door access sales? My CM3 told me they have to pester ever single prof that tought in summer last year with materials not in access about getting their materials into the program... — read more 

Awesome. Heard teh chief of stores threatened people today about going over in hours. Guess he wants stores to be a ghost town and for customer service scores on his stupid scorecard to plummet. Guy has no idea what the field does or needs, he's... — read more 

I don't understand the shock, surprise by those that have just been laid off, and frankly, all the condolences they are receiving. Anyone that has stayed with the company, especially in the last 2 years, what are/were you thinking? When you saw your... — read more 

It certainly is starting to seem like it is, because from where I'm looking, older employees are being disproportionately affected during layoffs. Just think about it, doesn't it seem that the average age of employees has gone down significantly in... — read more 

How many were let go? GVPs? Regionals? MLs? or just CM3's. Wouldn't surprise me if just CM3's. Id--ts start cutting at the heart of operations prior to the fat.

Does anyone know if the people that were laid off this week received any type of severance?

I’m sorry for those that lost their jobs. I’m sorry for those that are overwhelmed and overworked. We have all watched this company disintegrate over the past few years. Those of us that were let go a year ago have been telling you all to leave!... — read more 

They are the cause of all of our problems. Get competent people to replace them and see what happens.

I know CM3s are beyond stretched thin with the workload that requires working at least 30 hours a day. As a CSL, should I tell school staff that CM is not my department? If they want an email to complain, give them Emmanuel's email. Even if text... — read more 

CM3? RM? GVP? ML? What is the news?

What happened where the company is down $9,000,000 in sales?

Someone mentioned these dates in another post: "Upcoming Impact Dates: •2/16/2024 •4/5/2024 •5/31/2024" They were close! First date is 1/31

SFS...DFD

February payroll had me giving a full time associate 8 hours weeks 3 & 4. This finally proved to me that we are not valued at all. I was saved this past May, but through a series of events know I’m cut on the next ‘restructuring’. I went ahead and... — read more 

Who’s got the details on our 6 month CFO gone already?

Nice to see no griping amongst the participants! Almost like the sh-t is no longer hitting the fan. Odd. Perhaps we are all afraid on the other shoe hitting the floor? Or maybe we are now converts to chaos.

For months we've been told to make sure we have everything spot on for Rush...and every Rush we get massive outages in the system. We're doing our bit, give us the proper tools for the job!🤬 FFS!!

Everyone ready for Spring Rush and Inventory?

They are now automating the adoption and QTC process for all schools so that CM3's can "concentrate on PO follow-up". I think these are the first steps to a CM3 realignment so we can take on even more schools. We were promoted with absolutely... — read more 

I am just wondering, curious, those that have stayed, long or short term employees, why have you stayed? I have been out, my own choice. By habit I check this page on occasion. All I read, and hear from a few I keep in touch with, is how horrible... — read more
