This job extermination has been going on every year about the same time. NOW it's and issue. To late every body knows this is about saving $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. If all employees were united it might have been a little different. GOOD LUCK!!!!!

It is clear in dealing with Staples and similar large retailers they have buyers that no nothing about the products they purchase, they are moves from department to department coantantly and never learn about what the buy Always seeking lowest price... — read more 

Heard they sold off their Print Solutions Division.

so sad to see so many people lose their jobs..... retail landscape is so tough right now. did Staples Canada see any layoffs happen? or is this just a Staples US thing?

The moment the FTC decision is final the second shoe will drop. As I have said before this next wave will be much larger than the first, AND THIS IS IMPORTANT, no matter which way the decision goes stores will be closed. The only difference will be... — read more

I really want to say that these clowns have such a bad reputation that they would not got hired in an executive capacity any where else, but I'd probably be wrong. These guys are just one step ahead of crooks like Kenneth Lay, Bernie Ebbers, Sanjay... — read more 

I work on the fulfillment side. We have heard absolutely nothing, nada, zilch about any layoffs. I saw an article online last night and emailed my FCM who only heard rumors. I've been with Staples for 8 yrs; this past year was the worst. WMOS upgrade... — read more 

Tell your friends. Post everywhere. Tell the media. Let customers vote with their money. If customers knew their money was going to pay top management bonuses while 500 employees across the nation file for unemployment they will not spend their hard... — read more 

Just let me remind all of the infamous video of an angry Demos (about 3 years ago) berating store managers that complained about their bonus being eliminated. Demos took a huge stock bonus that same month.... AXXHOLE!!! Good riddance... can't wait... — read more 

Was Ron even in the building yesterday? I figure Demos was told of this before hand, likely Doody and Burke as well. That still leaves 150 angry and distraught people looking to channel some frustration.

If hundreds were laid off, then by law isn't the company supposed to publicly announce the layoffs? AND give employees ample notice?

Who did they let go and why? Was is based on your pay? Any other higher ups, regional or district managers? And why does demos get to stay til word on the merger. Big payout? Anyone else get this option?

We should hear this instead of cutting people that kept taking on more work each time Ron cuts people.

Anyone know if there were any cuts at Quill today, or any that might be coming up? A bunch of town halls are scheduled for tomorrow . . .

What's the severance?

More assistants/team supervisors ?? Doubt today was the only round...

Seriously people, some amazing talent was lost today and nothing will get resolved

I can confirm... About 500 people from every team in the company were laid off today. Not just the big names, a whole lot of little names unfortunately. Lots of rumors, even at the end of the day, we don't know who is safe or not. Horrible day to be... — read more 

If you didn't hear from your director or higher you're fine for now. sadly there were some good people on that list. Some from every level though from coordinators and analysts to managers directors and VPs.

Under their rule, the company has done nothing but maintain a downward slide. Their entire business plan is "How can we do this cheaper?" There's no innovation in the company, no trying to figure out how to drive more customers in the store, just the... — read more 

Is that even legal? No wonder there aren't many jobs left these days for American citizens.

There are a lot of employees working at Staples IT department from TCS Indian company. They should let them go and hire more people from here. Stop #H1B abuse

As much as I hate Staples for their sleazy HR practices and how they treat retail employees, bottom line I know retail is over extended and cuts need to be made. Close stores that are proven to be unprofitable, transfer those that want to or provide... — read more
