I was let go in Feb in the rif. It was unexpected and unnecessary. I have not gotten a job yet, but I am the happiest I have been in years. That place is toxic, unorganized, petty, poorly run, gossipy, and generally bad for anyone's well being. If... — read more

IT staff to be rebadged as IBM employees within 3 months. Many managers laid off or fired on trumped up HR charges cuz IBM doesn't want them. Morale at all time low.

I myself am not getting a bonus this year but I am happier where I am currently.

Staples is now finding new lows. Firing people before bonuses are due mid March and not giving severance. Such a toxic and cheap company. I suppose that $250 million they paid in the failed Office Depot merger had to come from somewhere. This company... — read more 

No severances being offered for those who refuse to go part time and do not wish to transition to supervisor roles. A small selection of districts (not sure which yet) will test having two IS's. Expect to close a lot due to morning shifts focusing... — read more

My DM is threatening to fire managers and tech sups over not selling liquid armour and wants the GM's and SM's to start writing up cashiers and techs for not getting a minimum of 4 square trades a shift. Is this legal?

What is being stolen from the Austell location? Just had a meeting about warrants, sheriff's and a new policy of getting searched when leaving the building.

Some of the DM's and GM's are cheaters in this region, it's sad that myself as a sales associate at the time. I used to always hear the GM and DM talk about ways to cheat. It's clearly a company on the decline. I was a sales associate for about two... — read more

Our store lease is coming up this spring. The building is listed with a realtor for lease/sell. Nothing has been said. Any chance that we won't close?

A NLRB administrative law judge ordered service to be discontinued after a complaint was filed by the postal workers union. That case finally wound it's way through the system and the judge made a ruling.

Happy New Year staples associates all of you should leave, get resumes ready and move on. THIS IS THE YEAR THE COMPANY CLOSES MOST BRICK AND MORTAR STORES, unless they can strike a deal with Amazon. Prediction down to 350 stores or less by 2018!

I have been away from Staples since the last big purge which was in August of 2015. I was with the company for quite some time, and I saw over the years that the benefits of the 401(k) kept on getting worse. When I finally left, the offering wasn't... — read more
