I walked in to 6 voicemails and a few emails saying they were charged. So instead of checking on PO’s, merchandising the million boxes of junk merchandise nobody wants, I spent the day putting out fires.

Boxes and boxes of leggings and jeggings...wth? Who is going to buy this crud when they can just go to Walmart. Seriously, these people are on acid.

Some are quite skeptical and do not believe that there will be more cuts soon. I hope they are right.

I haven't done this since TL and the band of failed family took their payouts and left us alone. Under old mis-management, follett paid a firm, or paid employees to write shill reviews and post them on Glassdoor. It appeared they wanted to maintain a... — read more 

It’s a wrap for Woodridge?

Follett, i question your lack of labor when we all know that many students take at least 20 minutes to help because they are just not as together as the previous generations. How is a skeleton crew supposed to assist a bunch of hapless people?

I am tired of working for people who claim to be leaders and have no idea how to lead. A leader motivates, a leader communicates, a leader engages team members, a leader boosts morale, a leader builds trust and respect, a leader fosters a positive... — read more 

Anyone hearing about OTC & field resignations on the rise? Heard there were 3 in the field and 2 at the tower this week? Do they know something? Anyone know who it is? Maybe it’s a gift, I am just not sure if it is for them or us.

If you take any time off during the holidays, you will absolutely violate the sla for soda and your scorecard will get all dinged up. Who cares. Do it anyway. They’d replace you in a minute

Anyone else starting to feel some kind of way about not having team members? Over the past few weeks two campus administrators have been in and out of our store "holiday shopping". They've made several snide comments about the lack of "student work... — read more 

Is because they’re looking to end as many low profit contracts they can, but still have the customer email address for marketing digitally. This is the push when traditional retailers are about to file bankruptcy or get bought out. We see right... — read more 

Remember this: They don’t care. So you shouldn’t. Don’t do a minute past your required shift. Don’t ask questions on conference calls. (You’ll never get a straight answer anyways) Don’t NOT take a break for those many of you who work alone... — read more 

It's nice to see everyone on the call so comfy ruining our lives from the comfort of their homes.

Those soda orders we're getting can't be fulfilled because guess what...they're still in boxes because I have no staff to shelve them. You may return to your regularly scheduled disaster.

Surely, we are not gambling the future of this company by installing a traditional retail culture, micromanaging the stores, and thinking Levi's/vitamins are going to save us. Come on! We need to think outside of the tradition retail box. It's... — read more 

What is the plan. Is this really short term so JR can flip us, isn’t that what venture capital companies do? Big ‘calibration’ meetings with the GVPs RMs and OTC today and tomorrow. Are we expecting layoffs, bankruptcy, what is the plan with all this — read more 

Is there a Follett advantage anymore?

I find it very interesting that corporate America continues to pay executives for flawed strategies and who places the blame on execution. The traditional retail strategies has ki---d and continues to ki-l this industry. We are not traditional... — read more 

We definitely see through your plan, and we know that you’re paying big money to those at the top, with their 3 martini lunches. Meanwhile, you squeeze the little people. Don’t worry, we will leave as soon as we can, and we will bring our years of... — read more 

Also your entire staff are new hires.

Just remember, you are working for a company that will replace you in 5 minutes, no matter how loyal, how many years in, how much you go above and beyond, you don't matter. Make sure to take care of yourself! As hours are cut, cut, cut, don't try... — read more 

WTH? Seriously, how much more clothing are they going to be sending?!? We have no room to put all this s@*t! Crazy!!!

In our store, which is one of the largest in the company, they've cut all the part time associates, leaving only a small number of full-time people to do everything. So, here's the thing. The best way to increase sales? Have associates that can... — read more 

Payroll cuts during buyback/rental check in, no Spring Rush Payroll, Insane clothing inventory, email push....blah.blah.blah. The stores are dying and Follett Higher Education will be filing BK at the end of 2023 due to contract violations... — read more 

Rest and recharge! So we can be overworked when we return. I don’t get to spend it with my loved ones as my hours got destroyed with no notice and I cannot afford to. But I hope those up too get to

What happens when full time clock in people get hours cut to under 32 ? Do we lose benefits because we are not “ technically “ getting full time hours ??

Let us take labor away from the stores. You know, the whole reason we’re in business. Meanwhile, GVPs watch Netflix and take naps. Genius. So much winning.

Some stores are ignoring the payroll budget or lack thereof and scheduling team members. Wish it was that easy at other locations. We were cut so badly only 1 person is working the week of Thanksgiving and they are hourly. We're going to be on the... — read more 

I pray there are no more. I pray my job search ends with me leaving this mess.

The hours for November were understood but December & January hours- it's like they want to have a disastrous rush on purpose. Maybe they don't have the funds? I'm going to ask my campus contact to see if they've heard anything. Good luck

Someone sure is on a power trip!

Well, October is almost over. Did y’all get your raises like you were promised? Were they everything you ever dreamed of and more?

Is it over for Follett Woodridge?

All I can say is someone dropped the ball. Technical difficulties! Come on. We really know how TH and JH feel about the field. They could care less. When is the recording going to be available?

Many of us on this board were harmed by follett. We were harmed financially, professionally and emotionally. Here's my question to you; if TL and his band of perpetrators were to sincerely apologize and acknowledge the harm they had done, would that... — read more
