There is life outside of this place and it's a good one. I know a lot of people who work here and I can safely say that any company would be lucky to have any of you. Just because Staples doesn't know what it has it doesn't mean all companies are... — read more 

This is not the first layoff/restructuring/RIF or however they decided to call it this time and it'll not be the last. The only thing they all had in common? They achieved nothing in the end. No improvements, results still suck, any material gains... — read more

Winner of the Jerkiest Company 2021 - Staples Corporation for Laying off 600 people the week before Thanksgiving. #Thatwaseasy

Peeling back the layers of the onion you start to realize that they are just shifting business to other companies they own rather than getting out of any business. Spread the word to any customer you have contacts with or anyone who needs to hear... — read more 

No matter what, I have some good memories from Staples because I worked with great people, learned a lot about the job and gained experience, and everything used to be a lot different. It is clear to me that it is almost natural for every... — read more 

Curious to know everyone’s thoughts

I've had enough but I'm scared to quit. Just when I think the latest round of layoffs is going to help me make up my mind, I rationalize it as being over and done with and now I can relax for a while, no need to worry. Then another round happens... — read more 

Does anyone have information on what will eventually happen to Staples stores and warehouses?

I mean everyone that has been here at staples should know this happens 2 x’s out of the year especially towards the end. More layoffs to happen in the Orlando area business center… who’s to say elsewhere. This is all sales. When quota is not met... — read more 

It's very unfortunate that a company like Staples (and others) that "values their associates" never has a human resource optimization program in effect. Usually the first pass budgets come out in the Fall and management is shocked they have to cut to... — read more 

When I started working at Staples I had good pay and good benefits and I could look forward to regular bonuses. Fast forward to today. The pay has stagnated, the benefits have been reduced, and I haven't had a proper raise in a few years. Add to that... — read more 

I really hope this is not the case. However, someone mentioned that these RIFs could be a sign of much bigger changes to come. Any thoughts?

Everyone says here "Leave", "Leave now", "There is no reason to stay here any longer". I know that I need to leave. If I could leave, I would. I'm more interested in what helped those who found a new job to get it, are connections perhaps the... — read more 

It’s interesting nothing has happened in Canada’s Staples Professional. Surely has to be changes coming there too, it is all owned by sycamore.

Before Sycamore the leadership at least made it seem like they cared about their employees. There were still layoffs and alot of times the wrong people were let go. They sacrificed experienced people who knew their business so they could promote/hire... — read more

I haven’t received any notification yet and I’m safe for now, but I definitely plan to leave Staples very soon. In any case, I think it will be worse for those who survive these layoffs than for those who now have time to dedicate to looking for... — read more 

I remember what the severance was like when one of my great colleagues was laid off, but that was a long time ago. Can someone give me info on severance pay? I wonder if they happened to change severance policy in the meantime?

What moves would you make, how would you change things to fix this company forever. Or, is it doable at all?

I survived this round, I am sure I'll be cut next year, things are slow

How many people got laid off yesterday? How many are left? I was hit in the big one 5 years ago. I can only say that not going to that toxic hellhole of a workplace has made my life better. So if you did get hit yesterday, I'm really sorry, but i... — read more

I'm having trouble sleeping because I'm worried about more layoffs coming our way tomorrow. Is there any way to know for sure it's done?

Staples will be one big disaster after this ruthless reorganization. Even without severance pay, I'm glad I'm finally leaving this miserable company.

Did RQD get canned today? I haven’t seen her post on LinkedIn

Staples, an Employer That Cares // Posted 4 days ago, featuring Travis from Staples Digital Solutions: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/staples_staples-is-an-employer-that-cares-you-really-activity-6865015842673881088-jGUK

there was a large number of layoff today at Staples, mostly on the SA side I think

I left in 2020, I spent 3 years there. Good luck to all and I hope things get better in 2022.

Many layoffs on the NAD side today. Hitting all departments - sales, distribution, digital, marketing. Lots of Directors and others.

I guess Sycamore Partners needed to save money to pay for their own Xmas bonuses or are running out of cash? Nice work!

Check out the antiwork reddit. Staples has taken advantage of ever single one of us and we should all be making more money then we are. If we cant afford to give raises and pay a living wage, this companys future is doomed. People cant pay bills with... — read more
