500 actually let go 3/27/13. and more coming the 28th and 29th

145 people let go on 3/27/13. Really unfortunate.

What do you guys do at Mchenry? Good luck!

Follett in Mchenry, IL. is laying off some 80 people. I don't know a lot about the offices, but the warehouse staff that are being let go, Friday Dec. 7th is their last day. Merry Christmas and good luck finding a new job.

I second the bad management. Follet (every division) is top heavy, too many directors, vice presidents, sr. vice presidents, etc. Follett Library in McHenry cut approx 85 people within the past couple weeks.

Follett has bad management and bad attitude toward workers. They will let you go for no reason, people find their hours cut often with out explanations...

Follett is sinking. fast...

Yes, 5 people were fired and will be more.

The rumor has it that 20 folks from the River Grove corp offices will get an axe before the end of the month. Please confirm if you heard anything about this.
