Anybody else not worried about this week?

Anybody can write major layoffs are coming any day, but unless there's some concrete info with it, we know it's most likely a troll. Which is why I refuse to stress ahead of Wednesday. If there was really a huge round coming, we'd know more about it... — read more

Why remove posts about people who were let go

Layoff admins, why remove posts about people that are let go? No names, no abuse, just a post and asking if anyone had any info. Why have a whole site dedicated to layoffs if people can't post about them?

Banned from site

So it appears that I was banned from the site. Using another computer to post. I never used names or even initials but was vocal about the treatment that I and other longtime associates received at our layoff. Shame on a company that is so paranoid... — read more 

Follett Food Service

The past few years Follett has dabbled in providing food service to campuses in addition to our campus stores. Without any infrastructure to support the program we made large investments in food equipment. But adding coolers, hot dog rollers, and... — read more

More layoffs next month?

Heard about more layoffs coming to Follett next month. The person who gave me the info is not the most reliable source though, so I'm hoping somebody here knows if this is true or false.

What a Town Hall

So did anyone catch the Town Hall meeting? Well this person did, and I just felt it was full of lies. So what’s new About this Company, when it comes down to it, Follett just tried to shine and spit lies when the cameras are rolling. Exceeding all... — read more 

Somebody recommending Follett to people?

Found this on Barnes & Nobles' page, I'm really not sure what to make of it: I was with B&N for 13 years and was laid off. I took the severance package that precluded me from ever working for B&N in the future (think about the logic of that policy) I... — read more

that was a nice story

That was a nice story if your are in your 20's , 30's . even 40's. What happens when your job is eliminated by follett when you are just turning 60? You apply for a new fulltime position - they look at your resume showing 20 years experience with... — read more

Accountability is two way

You say you want associates accountable but company is not accountable to pay bonus relative to a great year. Or to give reasonable raise. Why try in 19? There is no relation to performance and reward at FSS. Wasted another year of our careers.

50% bonus for achieving 100% of goals

How misleading was the FY18 Stip plan all year? The 100% payout was half what we used to get and they still said we only got half of that. Such bs

Where are the family members?

Do any family members work for the company any longer? I don't mean board members, people that actually have positions in the stores, home office, warehouse?
