When I started working at Staples I had good pay and good benefits and I could look forward to regular bonuses. Fast forward to today. The pay has stagnated, the benefits have been reduced, and I haven't had a proper raise in a few years. Add to that... — read more 

I really hope this is not the case. However, someone mentioned that these RIFs could be a sign of much bigger changes to come. Any thoughts?

Everyone says here "Leave", "Leave now", "There is no reason to stay here any longer". I know that I need to leave. If I could leave, I would. I'm more interested in what helped those who found a new job to get it, are connections perhaps the... — read more 

It’s interesting nothing has happened in Canada’s Staples Professional. Surely has to be changes coming there too, it is all owned by sycamore.

Before Sycamore the leadership at least made it seem like they cared about their employees. There were still layoffs and alot of times the wrong people were let go. They sacrificed experienced people who knew their business so they could promote/hire... — read more 

The doomsday arrived and decades worth of hard work wiped out by SP. Go to market will be remembered as one of the most poorly executed plans in corporate history as the Staples name bleeds red seeping into nonexistence. As hundreds put their... — read more 

I haven’t received any notification yet and I’m safe for now, but I definitely plan to leave Staples very soon. In any case, I think it will be worse for those who survive these layoffs than for those who now have time to dedicate to looking for... — read more 

I remember what the severance was like when one of my great colleagues was laid off, but that was a long time ago. Can someone give me info on severance pay? I wonder if they happened to change severance policy in the meantime?

What moves would you make, how would you change things to fix this company forever. Or, is it doable at all?

I survived this round, I am sure I'll be cut next year, things are slow

How many people got laid off yesterday? How many are left? I was hit in the big one 5 years ago. I can only say that not going to that toxic hellhole of a workplace has made my life better. So if you did get hit yesterday, I'm really sorry, but i... — read more 

So I heard those that are still with the company we’re told that they offered us another role with SA.com. That’s a lie, it was a 4min call and they shut off our mics, camera and chat option on teams. We were told they are simplifying the regions... — read more 

I'm having trouble sleeping because I'm worried about more layoffs coming our way tomorrow. Is there any way to know for sure it's done?

Staples will be one big disaster after this ruthless reorganization. Even without severance pay, I'm glad I'm finally leaving this miserable company.

Did RQD get canned today? I haven’t seen her post on LinkedIn

what happens with our 401k plans once we separate? does it stay with staples?

Staples, an Employer That Cares // Posted 4 days ago, featuring Travis from Staples Digital Solutions: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/staples_staples-is-an-employer-that-cares-you-really-activity-6865015842673881088-jGUK

there was a large number of layoff today at Staples, mostly on the SA side I think

Many layoffs on the NAD side today. Hitting all departments - sales, distribution, digital, marketing. Lots of Directors and others.

I guess Sycamore Partners needed to save money to pay for their own Xmas bonuses or are running out of cash? Nice work!

Check out the antiwork reddit. Staples has taken advantage of ever single one of us and we should all be making more money then we are. If we cant afford to give raises and pay a living wage, this companys future is doomed. People cant pay bills with... — read more 

Will there be any Staples layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

Will Staples new location in LA be a success or just another Strategy without long term commitment from Leadership?

I've been here for less than a year so I'm not sure if Staples ever has cuts around holidays?

Hang on to your hats, if you're in SA Sales. Everyone from RSD level and up were required to sign a strict NDA, all meeting in early November to finalize what Sales will look like, but something big is coming to the structure.

It looks like Sycamore can't get any more money out of Staples, so it is time to take the money out of the 401k. Did anyone else notice the change from the Goldman Sachs fund to a Sycamore-owned entity? I guess we should not really be all that... — read more 

It’s time for good people to move in a positive direction! The wind is no longer in Staples sails.

No new CEO yet?

Seems that we are losing a few more people at Staples (Un)Professional - any ideas why people are leaving? Did MB get pushed out or is he retiring? Not many good leaders left…

If an employee goes to work knowing they have been diagnosed with covid, should there be disciplinary actions taken?

This place deserves what it gets. Way to go approving a third of the delivery drivers in the hub off for a single day. What kind of a manager does this? Guess those who can be bothered to show up for work that day will be fu---d. Why bother even... — read more 

i heard today about another VP leaving. What do the VPs and Directors know that we don’t? Two directors in merchandising just left last month… something is up. Any info out there?

Run. Constant restructures and layoffs. Private equity ownership means little to no investment in the future. The budget is banking on everything (customers back into offices) this fall. If that doesn’t happen, which it won’t with the delta variant... — read more
