Quit managing by fear and intimidation. You have workforce living in deep deep fear - Don't treat your employees like this - it's not good for business. The founder of the company would be ashamed at you for what is happening. Preserve the legacy... — read more
How do you guys like this new site layout
I am not sure yet
Layoffs tomorrow?
Not to scare anybody but their are signs pointing to layoffs tomorrow (2/26). Be prepared, do a google search on how to handle a layoff and what questions to ask.
Be calm and think positive
The worst is behind and the company is now positioned for a better future. We need to move forward and serve the students and do what we know is best for moving forward. You may not agree with decisions made in the past 9 months but that is in the... — read more
Follett is a joke, period.
Not only are they putting up fake reviews to make it sound better, they are putting up fake salaries on Glassdoor, too. I would love to know what finance employees are making some of the salaries that are all of a sudden on there. A total bunch of... — read more

Maybe they would realize that having others sign a code of conduct would be a oxymoron request.
Curious
It seems the code of conduct was mysteriously in MY HR to be filled out with no due date, no information, no email sent or company communication. What is this about? Usually it's a company wide thing. Curious if people in the stores and other... — read more
Interesting
So there are changes to the site. Number of views is odd. To get the number to increase you have to click the orange box on the right side. Who does that? A way to make it look like no one is looking at this site? Put a like button on as the options... — read more
5027- Is so right
Those who don't remember history are destined to repeat it... Is also what was written in Jonestown Guyana. Don't drink the Kool-Aid and jump ship while you can people. The writing is on the wall. every one knows their days are numbered at follett... — read more
I see HR has been busy on Indeed.com
http://www.indeed.com/cmp/Follett/reviews
Agree with these posts
Follett may have enjoyed their sales in the billions unfortunately they have forgotten where those came from. I don't think they are going to recover from recent decisions and I think they will start seeing the results soon and I don't mean positive.
4917 Positivity and Trickle Down Economics
Just because Follett's profits are "in the billions" doesn't mean that is making the company better, nor is it trickling down to the hardworking employees that make the company profitable. Go on salary.com or indeed.com's salary search and see what... — read more

Follett is not the same company it was years ago. It has lost the family feel. The current generation is so focused on immediate profit that they have lost sight of long term value. The cost of this short term profit will catch up with them.
4966 agreed
Follett is not the same company as it was years ago. It has lost the family feel. The current generation seems to be solely focused on making more profit RIGHT NOW. They've lost sight of the long-term picture. They are sacrificing future success for... — read more

Wow. Well said. I'm still reeling from all of this but still have my job. We feel as though our days are numbered. who will be next? It really is a sad time.
To the Follett family
Follett will never be the same company many of us have known over the years however it will continue on. Continue on as a much smaller completely different company one of which will NEVER earn the respect of its employees to the magnitude of what was... — read more
No Hope
Follett would rather stab you in the back than pat you on the back. No recognition for a job well done anymore. We're dying out here they took away people we needed people that were a part of a working, functioning team. Now everything is fall apart... — read more
4892 is so darn right.
The real crazies are the managers who won't step up for their teams.

shut up.

Who are the crazies?
4917 ~ Positive
Positive is when is when you are upfront with customers and employees that many have given most of their working years more then doubling the stores. We are not stupid, Follett didn't lose money in the US 18 billion text book economy. Yes we know the... — read more
It's hard to be positive with all the negative stuff going on.
You may not mind the constant attrition of benefits, but the rest of us do. The stress of constantly waiting for the next round of cuts and dealing with ever shifting supervisors/expectations/instructions has worn many of us down. We are completely... — read more
Negativity
For years now we have all been ruled with fear. That doesn't change with a few weekly meetings trying to change views. The trust has been broken...take everything away from those who need it the most and it's shocking. So many people have given 110... — read more
Can we get some f***ing positive thinking here?
It's all whining? Why can we have at least one positve comment here - we have sales in billions and world is changing. Oh well...
In addition to 4901 comment, Drones research oh I get it they are going to be Amazon / FedEx all in one.. but no students
Separating hype from reality on Amazon’s drones, not in the ball park, min 200.00 delivery charge and that is for a few blocks down the street. It took two acts of congress to get it through to people in the industry the prices needed to be more... — read more

Drones
Has Mary Lee created the "Drone Research" department to be more like Amazon as well? Or is she still investing in god awful tech companies that would have helped Follett 10 years ago???
Post not going through...
Anybody else having this problem ?
Crazies on the move again!!!!!!
Crazies moving up east coast again. Managers get your fat asses out of your cushy offices and help the staffers that get you that nice bonus year after year keep their jobs..
?
Anyone know who's going to fill Jen Hattons position now that she's been promoted?
Candy Crush
I love that the new "healthy" directive and planogram has some of the worst crap known to man on it.
OMG Candy store? Student don't eat sugar anymore. And as far as Amazon goes I think they are LTAO
OMG I have talked to a few and I just come back and say that is just "wishful thinking". I think some have step out of reality, I'm kind of worried for them, seriously, it's almost like they are seeing things in a surreal surrounding and not touching... — read more
I see more lay offs in the near future.
Time to thin out the text department and a few more full time positions. Moving all resources to efollett. Amazon better watch out! LOL
