Does anyone remember a comment made by one of the higher ups talking about how students are here to buy specific books, and are not here to just browse textbooks?

I sure wish Tom Christopher and old gang were still calling the shots!

JE of the old Digital team in CM strangely hot and sultry?

Lets put this into perspective pre Westbrook move the company was still ok/good... post Westbrook move... every dimension of values, decency, honor, good businees, respectable employees, happy customers and large profits sunk faster than theTitanic!

Let me know if you feel the same way as I do l... that we are all on borrowed time with the company and food for them?

Are there any fully staffed depts left at Follett?

Let's do a count of how many of us there actually are still working at Follett and hired prior to 2012.... One for me

Gary S used to say, a small percentage of a big number is a big number. So let me see, 1.5%-2% merit increases on over a billion in employee wages is a big number for the Follett family. They hit the jackpot.

Checking in. About this time last year, Follett acquired Neebo and Ned here started looking for another job. Not that Neebo was a better company than Follett, but Follett has no idea how to run off campus. It took some effort but getting out of the... — read more 

What do you all think of the new monthly textbook inventory budgets?

Remember those good ole days when Follett was a company you were proud to be a part of, and as cheesy as some of our past holiday luncheons might have sounded, we always managed to have a great time and shared some good laughs... and what those... — read more

Missing the good Ole Accounting team of VB, MS, CD, JG, BB, DB and so forth, they really knew their stuff and could almost solve any issues and shrinkage. Also CD and JG were always so sweet and easy on the eyed and a treat as well. :)

Why weren't the exempt employees offered severance instead of being automatically given a new job title and converted to non exempt status? Is that even legal?

So they cut our staff, cut our bonuses, and increased our roles. Wonder how they expect that to go over when salaried personnel get overtime beginning in July.

They made a couple of people in our region that were salary, hourly today. Seems like a poor way to get more work out of someone. You know they don't approve overtime.
