Don't you love the SVP and VP that fire those below them for poor performance of their initiatives. If your project fails you should be the one to go.

Who is responsible for the burning platform that is ORPOS. Millions down the tube. They can't still be with Follett. After all they let most employees go for not reason at all.

After huge investments and hundreds of Infosys consultants working on upgrades eFollett is continually trounced by Chegg. We all know what eFollett growth is, while Chegg "The company’s revenue for the quarter was up 14.1% on a year-over-year... — read more 

So what's the mood like in the stores these days? Does BS or HT actually go to stores anymore? When was the last time your regional visited?

MLS was bright, talented and a go getter and there are much better opportunities in a growing company/industry for her skills - just watch. The previous reasons continue with her methodology of playing blame game and not accepting when one accepts... — read more

I just landed a job with Amazon at the Indianapolis facilities. In the interview they asked if I had any CO workers that I would like to refer. Needless to say I passed up an opportunity to make 2k on a referral because of this board. Not given... — read more 

I don't think you are going to be able to repair Mary Lee's image. Your mother's day wish isn't going to make us forget the things she did.

No one knows your story, just speculating. I hope you and your family are enjoy today, in spite of the recent changes.

Last year FSS had record profits, but we got no bonus because FHEG didn't meet goals. This year FHEG has already heard they are getting 100% bonus. FSS has heard nothing. Bet we are getting s%$#ed again.

Who will be next?

The shit continues. Can the business just stop making personnel changes and focus on the core business at hand. Employees are tired of worrying.

Just after she added the fogged glass to her office. I guess she didn't like the open floor space that people could see into her office so she added fogged glass and you could not longer see in it.

This is on Follett's website.http://www.follett.com/news?articleid=2415 Who announces their CEO's retirement on Sunday? When was the last time you read a retirement announcement effective immediately? While I'm happy she's gone, this kind of smells... — read more 

What did you think of the town hall and the new CEO? Any reasons to be optimistic? Any announcements about SS, DG or GT?

That is all. Thank you, Universe!

They chose Star Wars day to make the change. Did they finish their announcement by saying, may the fourth be with you? Did a hologram of a sated MLS teasing a frazzled employee emerge from the corporate office's newly minted toy (imported from India... — read more

I for one liked MLS and her contributions. She was a strong female leader who continually had to fight the good old boys club. This is just another example of the glass ceiling facing women at Follett. Unite women. We now have returned to the old... — read more 

Rumor has it MLS was let go because we missed the numbers again, no bonus for second straight year.

Cannot believe HT and CW made it through another CEO

This release did not list one single accomplishment attributable to MLS during her 2 1/2 years as CEO. Why did the Family take this long to react to this failure?
