Prediction- at least brief, positive reviews will show up on Glassdoor.com in the next couple of days praising follett for nothing in particular

My two cents

It looks like admins are removing posts again and my ip was blocked again. It’s pain to go through proxies and this is not cool. They will block you if you name names (including initials) and they will delete all posts you made (they axed all I wrote... — read more

It's not going to change

Sorry people...until its driven by upper management, change won't last- good change, anyway. Surveys are a good thing but what is being done? Are you honestly telling me that anyone up there ACTUALLY cares about us? Don't make me laugh. Want... — read more
