How come Follett is not providing any updates regarding the impact of the virus and closures on Follett. Do we have enough capital to survive this? Did PC quit because of what he saw? Will state budgets have sufficient funds for library, schools and universities for the foreseeable future? How come Follett leadership does not respect their employees enough to provide information? The only reason not to communicate is that the future is very bleak.

PC "retired" after making valuable contributions to follett. Can we name one? Perhaps TL is talking about making valuable contributions to his family?
Let's accept the picture being painted. Family is happy with PC. No pressure considering the disaster that has beset the business. Yet, PC retires. Does this make sense.
Is TL such an astute leader that he sees this crisis as his great opportunity to bring the family's business back to life? Those are some pretty powerful beer googles, no?
So PC Retired.

@2rns+14FML68Q: who cares. WTF does that have to do with Follett and going back to work?
Priztker! HA. The guy that defrauded the state out of $320,000.00, got caught, laughed and said it was a mistake and paid it back. Rob a bank, get caught and try that. You my friend would be in jail. His Daddy left BILLIONS tax free offshore in the Caymen Islands (no taxes) but J. B. the Hut can't do nothing about that. Sorry. Just another would be petty dictator.
Priztker is getting pressure to open Illinois back up sooner rather than later. I believe we need to tread carefully. My area is getting hit every day with cases because of the increase in testing. I know I won't be going back to 40 hours a week. We will be lucky to get 30 hours which means no benefits (honestly this is the only reason I would return. I need hip and knee surgery so insurance is pretty much a necessity).
what OSHA thing? My rm has said nothing about that.
Tired of the RM...not updated us ..today's call others knew about on Friday..what's up with the osha thing
Follett understood the importance that integrity, accountability, customers, each and every associate, innovation and teamwork plays in the success of a business. Although many years have gone by, these values remain unchanged.
REALLY?
Plenty of mistakes at this company but when states are still arguing about what to do next month and schools don't have a clue what they are doing in the fall ain't no way follett can do anything except guess. They guess wrong each of the last ten yrs without school shutdown how they going to guess right now.

Because the family is rich and you're the low paid help.
YOU DO NOT DESERVE NOR WILL YOU GET THEIR RESPECT. IF YOU'RE RICH YOU'RE SMARTER THAN EVERYONE ELSE.
MLS told you the Family's vision of reality back in what, 2012 - 2013? While everybody's 401k's tanked 2008, the family was shocked that their family owned stock lost value TOO. WOW HOW COULD THAT BE? MLS's only job was to make the stock worth more.
Nobody can predict what is going to happen on any campus.i know my school has not made any announcement of graduation, summer events , fall classes.
Most states are still on shut down, I think each school will made decisions when their state reopens
Why wait, get your resume brushed up & start looking now!!
It's been a month since most of us were laid off. No communication from store manager. I am gonna start looking for another job as soon as the SAH is lifted.
