As a long term contributor to the forum I am saddened we've been reduced to bowel based retaliation, those of us who warned of the assistant layoffs, logistics restructuring, logistics elimination, etc. We use this to combat a disreputable business... — read more

DFS layoff
Got laid of Friday, have an interview for budget auditor Monday, should be careful about the talent you're turning away Staples.

Directed financial shut down...
All 16 centers closed Fri.

My DM just went over my manager's head and fired me, I am a part time mobility and tech sales associate, been working around a month and haven't sold any phones so far, the DM came and was yelling at the management and I guess I was an easy target... — read more
Well just had a meeting at a shipping/distribution center, for a retail regional meeting.
The talk of termed assistants, Tech Sups, and the extension of part time team sup to full time seems like the emerging strategy for all but tier 1 stores. Also, the way to honestly gauge the future of your store is to see if you get new POSs because... — read more

sdo closure and severance?
so is Staples planning on closing all sdo's eventually? Sure looks that way. Does anyone know what kind of severance a driver can expect? I think overall, the use of third party delivery will hurt the company! Thoughts and feedback appreciated
Life after Staples
So what is there out there for us lifers that thought we would work for Staples for 45 years and retire, but got laid off after 20? Anything other than retail?
