I remember liking working here at Follett. Those days are gone though...
People were kind to each other and the end goal was always clear. Boy are those days gone in every aspect.
Today, the management is rude and completely immature, upper management has no idea what is going on with line level employees, and there is absolutely no communication between different levels of management.
With leadership like this, no wonder we have become the joke we are.
The economy changed. The way education is delivered has changed. Students' backgrounds and expectations changed. follett was still. follett lost years ago. follett didn't lose to a competitor. follett lost against its market place. follett became mean because it can't understand what has gone wrong and how to catch up. Fact is, they can't catch up. They're incapable. They are loyal to a business model that has failed. follet is a failed company.
Follett was driving force behind Layoff site. So many posts! They love Follett!!
