We’re going to reinvent how customers see us, we’re not just an office supply company, we’re so much more. “Business is Human” is our campaign and we’re going big with it! We launch some new pens, coffee, break room snacks, that’ll do it! Oh shoot... — read more 

Buckle up. STS, Hitouch, BD, and Print all being looked at

Rumors of rankings happening. After rankings, layoffs come. Please post here to confirm.

In the less than 90 days 2 of my peers have left my STS team on the west. My leader, nice , but just un experienced. Idk what to do. Budgets are unrealistic. Do I quit? Or weather this storm? Does anyone have any insight?

Is this the calm before the storm?

Someone explain to me how they have had almost a handful of Regional Sales Director roles posted in the last 10 months but laid off their best Director last year? What the fu-k is happening over there?

Yes - Former Corporate Here They reduce cost They max earnings They cut expensive people They load on work to middle and lower levels with no added benefit They tell half truths where 'there are no layoffs planned, but with any... — read more 

Just got this word from my source close to the AVP group is that they have a “list” that is not official but of former employees that quote “would have to blow their socks off to return”. If someone has more insight please post. Plenty of top paid... — read more 

With many remote workers now holding multiple jobs, how common is this for on and offshore WFH at Staples? The average WFH is within an hour. Could this be due to other job commitments? Are they working for our competitors? HR must publish 2024... — read more 

Ok gang. Need all of us to take a deep breath. Senior Leadership here. We know there has been a lot of chatter on this message board but please know we are focused on 2025. Making it Easy! again. Let’s please stop the chatter on this board while we... — read more 

Walgreens employee here. I remember Staples 10 years ago being the top dog of Office and cleaning supply sales. Seems by reading this board the company has been devoured by poor leadership from John Lederer and we are next. Are we? Should I be... — read more 

Rumor that certain businesses didn’t achieve goals.

How likely are we to be profitable with all these tariffs especially one on China? We can't sell pencils made in US for 2 dollars!

You ki-led my career. I sacrificed everything to get what I loved doing. I hate my life because of you. Senior leaders, it on you.

How insulting is that email from JL our hard work is only worth a 1% raise after the BS q3 and q4 after raising our quota by 5% knowing a vast majority would not hit it just to sc--w us over and they can line their pockets with more money.

I find it funny as he-l that the managers who are on here keep flagging and reporting any bad talk about the pathetic merit raises we just got.

anyone else sick of whats happening in canada?

Horrible. Horrible gutless cowards.

These really good employees are treated like an abusive, one sided relationship. These people are treated like homeless Vietnam vets. This people are in a domestic violent relationship. I would think long and hard about how these people are... — read more 

The senior leadership's continued insistence the company is financially healthy, that they have confidents in a plan that will work 'this time' is getting old and tired. So confident in the company but won't hire a CEO, the bonus is in the po---r, no... — read more 

I have an offer on the table within the company and started reading this board. Holy god. Is it really that bad? People seem to hate the recruiters and top leadership? My interviews were pleasant. My recruiter seemed to push me through the process... — read more 

Time to turn things on their head and expose the bad leaders. Go look and see their Team’s away light. Are they green, yellow, red, or “unavailable”. Most you will see have been away all day.

Who are some of worst right now? Call these talentless hacks out.

Yo Staples, what should Walgreens peons expect with the Sycamore Partners buyout? What jobs were cut after the deal was sealed? Corporate office? Stores? We are like family now so please be honest. Thanks.

Maybe now the Henchman JL will leave Staples and prey on Walgreens. How is it even legal for him as a board member of Walgreens to engineer sycamore’s takeover. Guess he lives by a different set of rules.

Hearing strong rumors the two companies will be merging.

Once PAs are finished,should we expect layoffs in March ? Anyone heard anything

Screening with egos like they know the job. Playing favorites. Holding quality people back. Horrible representation of a failing organization. I guess the shoe fits.

Staples is not bonus eligible. There will be a discretionary % bonus tho

Has anyone received their 401K match for last year’s contribution? It was supposed to be given by now right?

I don’t think any of this is magical but I’ll give Staples a few suggestions. sell stuff people want. Post it notes/printer toner were cool a decade ago. They no longer are. Finding new products is critical. Sell in adjacent categories. Do... — read more 

Maybe we can start by using paper for everything. Circulars, paper check (no direct deposit) , hard-copy company newsletter, etc.

Hearing news that Trump plans to shutdown the department of education. Would this have severe impact on Staples contract businesses?

Is anyone else having major Computer and program issues. Why do I need to restart my computer 3-4 times today to do my job? Let me know what department your in and the problems your having.

How are the new Tarrifs going to affect Staples ?

Found out a few days ago several stores are closing in march Newington CT,Minnetonka MN and several more. Rumor is by the end of 2025 there will be 500 stores closures. Staples is a dying company ! They are just stringing everyone along to stay... — read more 

I was a part of the mass layoff back in November. While I was told it wasn’t personal, other members of my team still remain today. I guess it would be nice to have some closure as to why it was me and not someone else. Thoughts?
