I work with GCC tech in India. Bunch of rookies. Can’t get out of their way and work at snails pace. So WHY am I hearing about Sept tech layoffs in US?

Wall St insiders say Sycamore is shopping Staples. Syc sees end game for value by ‘28. Anyone else hearing anything? GCC syphoning $$$$ at light speed, triggering Syc bailing.

Anyone notice all the AI being sent out by the company lately? It’s all over .com and staples business as well. Looks tacky along with all of the customer industry layout slides for the different verticals. Zoom in on them, it’s a mess

Does anyone know which departments have already been impacted or might be impacted? I've been hearing a lot of rumors, and it doesn't sound good. Has anyone heard anything?

The Sept SDS layoffs are damaging techs desire and willingness to extend. GCC delivering next to nothing but being falsely hyped by the waaaaay over his head CIO.

Talked to a leader; says that the GCC cheap labor will crush the US. Layoffs in MA coming soon in SDS. Nice run while it lasted.

Staples will close two stores in August 2026. The stores are in Goleta, California, and Levittown, New York. The closures are part of the long-term plan to reduce its retail store network. Staples reduced its U.S. store count from 929 in October 2025... — read more 

Overheard leaders discussing lack of meeting business needs is hurting SDS & heads will roll. Anyone else hear this?

Any word on whether more sales layoffs are expected? Seems like the team has already been reduced quite a bit. Curious how much more can be cut before there’s not much left.

When even the people who barely work are leaving, you know things have gotten bad. This place is such a joke that even the slackers think they can do better.

I created a side Staples Account on the Career sight and applied for the same job with the same resume but with a different name and got and interview….with the alt account. The other real account was denied. I was tops in every category. Yes, my... — read more 

Anyone know of changes happening this month?

Buckle up. Due to lack of meeting business needs VP shake up w large team shake ups & possible layoffs are on the table. Business behind all of it

SDS layoffs every 4 months but it costs over $500,000 to fly and lodge all SDS VPs and CIO as none of them live within 1000 miles of office. Is that wrong?

Heard a big announcement was coming next week ? Anyheads up ?

Former employee here. Just tried applying for a position that I’m overly qualified for and didn’t even get a call back. I’ve heard rumors of former employees being blacklisted, but does anyone have any proof?

Why was the Canada post deleted?

What a disaster! Laying off smart people and moving roles offshore for cheaper labor. No accountability. It's a circus! A CLUSTER----. BAD MANAGEMENT. They're coming for you next. Get your resumes out.

GCC = Goodbye Corporate Career!

Instead, I just keep my resume fresh and my savings padded. Whenever it happens, I'll be ready. Been feeling much better, to be honest, since I adopted this approach.

Who is was better?

Any news on when layoffs will start happening again?

Especially if you hate it here. Leave this place to those of us who like working here. Everybody will be happier.

Are you expected to work the two weeks notice or not? I start a new job in a week, but I don't want to not give notice if I can avoid it. Not that I'd want to return to Staples, but you never know what might happen, so I'd like not to burn any... — read more 

Why does this company continue to treat cyber security like an afterthought? Incident after incident, no lessons learned. Hire actual professionals rather than these afterthought staff!

But we got Nike Shoes! What a slap in the face.

Where’s the attendance list? Is it actually a thing or just a scare tactic to get people in the building. Inquiring minds want to know.

This feels a little too late given the current state of the company and industry.

I'm hearing all kinds of rumors, most of them sound crazy. Another round is almost certain at this point. Layoffs are just part of life now. Still, it'd be nice to have at least a vague sense of what's coming.
