Nothing but rumors

So has anyone actually lost their job in October? I haven’t heard of anyone and I think all these rumors of layoffs are just that - rumors. We need to stop with the fear mongering and focus on the task at hand. Enough of the gloom and doom especially... — read more

Confirmed

It is confirmed that if you get abused by a customer HR will not back you up. They will if fact bury you and do so with a troublesome way of twisting information into a crazy, head scratching deam senerio that makes no sence. They dont have... — read more

Have things improved any?

I left on my own a few years ago. I was happy to find a good job with good pay and job security. Which lasted for about two years. Now we're having monthly layoffs and I'm back where I've started, it seems. I just wanted to check if things have... — read more

Latin Americans

Is the gender neutral term. I hope you will use this going forward Staples. No Spanish speaking country uses LatinX. That is whitewashing and is not pronounceable in their native tongue.

Any Word?

We had HR at our facility today but there has been no word on anything and I’ve heard of no one getting laid off yet. Anyone know anything?

You can't seriously think you're safe

No one, and I mean NO ONE is safe at staples. This is a sinking ship, like the Titanic, only worse. There are zero lifeboats. And before you ask, I am a current employee. I’ve seen people who spent years with this company laid off, and I’ve seen... — read more

Story Tellers

I have seen some stories on here but the lies this week on this page are really sick.

If it’s true….

This company is one of the worst anyone can work for if rumors of another layoff are true. It’s bad enough that so many hard working individuals have been cut already, and now we’re looking at more? I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside... — read more

You should all be looking already

Whether cuts are coming next week or the one after or even in a month doesn't really matter. The point is that the cuts never stop at Staples. If you are not affected this time, you will be in one of the next rounds. This should be common knowledge... — read more

Staples Is The Worst By Far

Staples has been the worst company I have worked for. Between the lack of formal training and people who are lazy and unwilling to work together as a team, it was a terrible working experience. Like so many others, I was hired, came in with fresh... — read more

No SALES jobs on Staples Career website

I wonder if Staples is going to get rid of all outside AM and outside sales? I know some managers have just hired outside B2B but I find it very odd that there are no jobs for outside sales on the job board! Any thoughts?

Why is eCommerce Failing?

Why is ecommerce such an abysmal failure? Is it assortment, leaders, or both? I mean, any gains are from panic buyers (sanitizer, wipes). Not actual talent or strategy IMO. How many ways can you sell paper and ink? Staples was #2, now it's not... — read more
