I started as a CPAM (Copy & Print Account Manager) in 2014. Everything was great until 2017 when I was laid off in the first wave (February 2017). I was called back just a month after the layoff and returned as a PMAC (Print & Marketing Account... — read more

Happy Friday! Let's play a game to help lighten the mood. It's clear Staples is not doing what's needed to keep up with ecommerce trends and the changing market. It's also clear that the attempts that they have made to grow in this area have failed... — read more

Sycamore planned termination of jobs coming in July. Get ready, this will be the biggest one so far. SBA will be hit hard.

and all I got was this lousy "Easy" button. I can't even wear it.

Does this company background check the management before they hire them? Do they credit check them? This is leading to layoffs for not playing the game.

I can't wait for the next spin on what is really going on. BCG will get the money out they promised. Otherwise their pay will be low!

Are we expecting more layoffs next week (Friday is usually not a day for layoffs) or can we considered this round over?

Anyone know who the staples security team is ??

It's sad. Plain sad. Nothing more to add.

Ready?

Gave my manager in .com my resignation May 8th for a term date of June 8th. Manager goes on leave so I call HR this week to see what I need to do and they don’t even have a record of my notice? Good ridence ノ(ಠ_ಠノ)

The results are in and the number of people NOT hitting a quota (that cannot be explained) is mind blowing. I would say the number is < 8% in our office. Chew on them apples. Sycamore just made (took away) millions upon the backs of hard working... — read more
