401k
Checked my year end 401k total and it looks like staples quit matching contributions this year. No notice and the recruitment website still says they match contributions. Guess I did help pay for those employee appreciation lunches this year. ... — read more

How long can this go on?
Everybody I work with is unhappy. Not just unsatisfied, but utterly, profoundly unhappy and hating their jobs with a passion. It was never this bad before. So I ask, how long can morale stay this low? How long before the productivity suffers so much... — read more

No jobs that I can see
I've been looking for a while now but I've had no luck so far. There simply aren't that many available jobs, and those that are available can pick the cream of the crop among the sea of candidates. I wasn't that worried about the possibility of being... — read more
SP has got nothin
SP hoped to pick the bones of a dieing Staples. They brought zero innovation or change, not because they had no ideas (they didn't) but because that wasn't there intent. Rescuing Staples was always too much work. The last best chance might have... — read more

I recently left Staples, but I stopped by this forum to see what was going on. So I came across a post on one of the threads here in which someone says that it is noticeable that workers put in minimal effort. The lack of interest in Staples`s... — read more
Quit if you don’t like it
Go ahead, I dare you. I see people complaining about how bad Staples is, how it’s going to go down in smokes. If you hate the company so much why don’t you grow a pair and leave. No one is forcing you to stay. The company doesn’t need you. There is... — read more

Latin Americans
Is the gender neutral term. I hope you will use this going forward Staples. No Spanish speaking country uses LatinX. That is whitewashing and is not pronounceable in their native tongue.
