Quiet November - see knew it would be!
So where are all of the conspiracy theorists on November? Quiet here and business is booming. Happy Selling y'all!
Party City?
I was part of the Assistant Manager layoffs in 2013. I drove by a Staples today that said Party City - Get your balloons filled here. Did they turn part of the store into a Party City? Or did they make the tech center a balloon store?
Let's talk about Furniture
What's going on in Furniture? I've been at Staples for 15 years and have never heard as much noise about furniture as I am now. Disfunction. Losing people. Losing deals and winning deals at the same time. A wash? Also hearing there might be a new... — read more

AI Marketing
Anyone notice all the AI being sent out by the company lately? It’s all over .com and staples business as well. Looks tacky along with all of the customer industry layout slides for the different verticals. Zoom in on them, it’s a mess

The Sept SDS layoffs are damaging techs desire and willingness to extend. GCC delivering next to nothing but being falsely hyped by the waaaaay over his head CIO.
GCC to trigger Framingham layoffs in Sept
Talked to a leader; says that the GCC cheap labor will crush the US. Layoffs in MA coming soon in SDS. Nice run while it lasted.
