JD announced early Q3 check ins, but why?

Anyone have a Bingo card of what we’ll hear today?

Thoughts on these sister companies?

Staples ruined my life. I had a great job and took a chance on a new venture. Leadership lied to me and now I have nothing. I’m ruined. I know I’m just a number but now I see it. I hate everything and everyone.

Plans for the future of Staples don’t involve most of us. Furthermore, I have no confidence in those plans. I don’t see anything that would make me risk and actually put an effort into staying here. But I can count many reasons for leaving as soon as... — read more

You do not need to treat employees like children as if we don’t take care of the same life responsibilities as every other adult does. We all have mortgages/rent/ bills and kids. Why are you trying to control how an e-mail is written or how our... — read more 

Been a B2B here at Staples for about a year and love furniture. Thought about going over there. Any word on how they are doing? Budgets attainable? How are the managers and leadership?

This is the cr-ppiest place I've ever had the misfortune of working at. I've only been here for six months and I'm already done. It's a mystery to me why anybody stays at Staples longer than they absolutely have to.

Happy Monday folks! I figured we would try something different today. Let’s play a game of “Who’s layoff is it anyway”? Which division gets cut today? What brand of DEI is going to ki-l this company? I know ole Johnny boy!! Let’s hire more... — read more

A dozen more folks let go today from Facilities, managers and IC's. Please remember to reach out to those affected to support and lend a helping hand.

Just a number when we were told we are family. We aren’t family. Our kids and spouses are family. That’s the family we come home to. Not the “number” we are to VPs, CEOs, and guys like John Lederer. My kid asked me “why are you at home all the... — read more 

Great leaders and employees let go over “who they like more” People who will be the best let go over the “flavor of the month” This is why this company is failed. True talented people over what is like more. These people that were let go... — read more

I mean really, why are they such sticklers over this?? If jobs are being done, why such harshness over mandatory 3 days in office. Are other large companies doing the same? Or are they treated more like adults and trusted to come in when they need... — read more

Interesting email from JD today. Anyone have any details about if they are using facial recognition on the cameras to see who is leaving and when, or is it based off of managers relaying the information? Let’s discuss.

Out of office this week, worrying about what’s going on.
