We are all worth much more than this

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

Just another useless move

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

Going the way of the dodo

After the bad feelings subsided after I found out that they didn't need me anymore, I'm not so upset anymore. Moreover, now I think layoff is the best thing that could have happened to me because who knows if I would have decided to look for a new... — read more

Now that the dust has settled (sort of)

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

Could it have been better?

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

Scared to quit

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

More layoffs

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

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

There's nothing to stay for

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

Sign of a bigger change

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?

Job hunting

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 sad the company Staples has become

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

What kind of company will this be after these cuts?

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

Severance time

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?

How many yesterday?

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

Wonder what everyone has been told

So I heard those that are still with the company we’re told that they offered us another role with SA.com. That’s a lie, it was a 4min call and they shut off our mics, camera and chat option on teams. We were told they are simplifying the regions... — read more

More layoffs happening tomorrow?

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?

Reorganizing to complete collapse?

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

Staples Center Name Change

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