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 

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 

What happened to the post about yuge Baker and Taylor layoffs?

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 was your reaction to getting the email from CW today about doing this survey?

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 

and the accountability/committing is all we are getting now that we ‘re home? Seriously. No real updates since Orlando. This silence from the ivory tower is deafening.

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

remember the follett family members in the lifeboats first you ungrateful ex follett emploees

Just another day on the HMS Follett Titantic Be nice boys and girls ..No backbiting with your comments now as you try to get into your career lifeboats . Remember women and children first. And the band plays on with this blogging site. Sigh.

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 

I quit Follett many years ago to go to another company and almost right away (remember this was years ago) I had regrets so I called a month later and inquired about my old job. It was a low moment, as they say, but I was young and all. They did not... — read more

Enjoy Fathers Day away from your family. All worth it.

The rebel need to meet up! Ask where is my bonus?

que sara sara - what will be, will be- your jobs are next fools - your nothing special either, you just think so- you guys deserve that 2%- keep chewing on it - I love it.

Wait until next year.

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.

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

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?

Why announce there is a bonus but not announce the amount? Is it unhappy news? Or a great morale boost they are milking for all it is worth. FSS killed it this year. Needs to be reflected in the bonus. Isn't in the 2 percent rase for sure.

Anyone else dreading wasting their time at this conference with workshops like training your team.. I mean what team? The team that was laid off or hours slashed every year.

follett in a declining industry = no integrity when dealing with long term workers = being laid off in 10 minutes and told to leave immediately after twenty years of service. kai sara sara'

They seem to have plenty of money to buy out companies. Spending it on employees is boring.

When I started working for Follett in 2001, I was impressed with the number of Follett associates that had 20, 30, and even 40 years experience...it was one happy family. As a regional, I knew that experience, results, and relationship building with... — read more

Is it me or does it look like B&N has made some sizable gains in the contract count? Looks like Follett has picked up some smaller contracts but hasn't been able to come through on the big boys. Am I reading this wrong?

Any one still working for follett should really be proud of themselves - keeps your heads down, you might be next or maybe not- what a company , what a bunch of loyal employees- yeah !!!

what happened in 41?

Can anyone please tell me why we are losing great managers and other team members? Is there something I should know so I can look for another job? Are more layoffs coming?

The lack of quality management is what has killed follett. When management decides to abuse long tenured team members out of the company (avoiding any severance responsibility to the very people who've worked hard for the company the longest), you've... — read more
