I for one liked MLS and her contributions. She was a strong female leader who continually had to fight the good old boys club. This is just another example of the glass ceiling facing women at Follett. Unite women. We now have returned to the old... — read more 

Rumor has it MLS was let go because we missed the numbers again, no bonus for second straight year.

Cannot believe HT and CW made it through another CEO

This release did not list one single accomplishment attributable to MLS during her 2 1/2 years as CEO. Why did the Family take this long to react to this failure?

PLEASE tell me the Kfarts and RRdonnelly's rejects are heading out too....awesome news that Mary Lee's reign of terror is over!

Now get rid of the aholes still left who have ruined Follett. DG GT SS- can't start the healing unless the wound is clean. Then remove all the suck ups that these people promoted. Bring back the associates who actually knew the business and worked... — read more

Yet her disciples are now VP(s) and SVP(s)

'Bloody Mary' has 'retired' from her position as CEO of Follett Higher Education Group this morning. Replaced by an RG, CEO of Ace Hardware 2005-2013 and board member for two years. Beyond the fact that it appears at first glance to be a coupe of... — read more 

And yet another group of employees going to India at 10k a pop.

Does Follett Higher Education have an "Inventory Purchasing" department? Who is the top "president" of such a department? Is it still Mike D. ??

All associates at the stores and the home office should should request a copy of their employee file directly from Human Resources at Westmont. Please review your file carefully. 1. In particular you should look for any false or derogatory reports... — read more 

Hey guys, did you hear the news? Core-POS is DOA! At least they figured out to give up before dumping too many resources!

Lots of complaints on this board with the assumption "The manager of such and such department will read my little post, and everything will be fixed." I thought about it, and those managers not only don't have the time to read this board during the... — read more 

I WILL BUY YOUR TEXTBOOKS, at the Follett Rate + 25% commission! I'm an independent buyer, NOT affiliated with Follett. With all the "issues" (changes, closings, layoffs), there are undoubtedly stores with overstock and you are probably scrambling... — read more 

Wining, complaining, moaning little follett people. Shut up no one cares because you have not and will not do anything to change your situation. All you have ever done was post your snark little comments here expecting what.... Stop crying and do... — read more 

These new leaders couldn't management a bake sale. What a great time to be a sales rep with B&N by selling against a company where the sales leader doesn't want the home office leaders at a presentation. Just look at the close percentage the past 5... — read more 

My department was so dead set on getting me out through lies and hidden discrimination, they fell for the bait. IDIOTS! LOL!! I had always forewarned I was not like the others in the department they'd fired through false accusations simply because... — read more 

Get off of reading this board and take some positive action... no not by hiring more rejects from yesteryear stores and making the VPs or SVPs... but by actually no listening to your employees that'll have been with the company for more than 5... — read more

And the home office overhead keeps growing with the addition of another SVP. They will probably start cutting at the store again to make their numbers.

Follett seems to becoming more and more like Nazi Germany? We keep doing dumb things and hurting innocent working people supposedly for the "greater cause" Soon we'll have to salute and say "Hail MLS or DG" whenever they walk by.

DG had each direct report comment on a failure each experienced last year. Unfortunately the examples given were more about other people/dept failures. Maybe they should ask the C team should provide the A team with actual failures from our... — read more 

Awkward elevator rides with ninja turtles in tower 3 happens too often. I think they are immune to farts. I'm gonna try it anyway next time I see one. It'll be nice if it was a VP. Can they fire me for that?

Whoever is spreading rumors about outsourcing psc is wrong. The reliability of the support they provide is too strong. Besides who is more capable than the people there right now.

Town hall meeting this week. Hopefully we can get an update on the IT outsourcing.
