Also, once they announce, do we expect another round of massive layoffs to hit stores? How about the corporate office? On what date is this going to happen and who will know?

Leaving Staples=Best day of my life.

I was let go in Feb in the rif. It was unexpected and unnecessary. I have not gotten a job yet, but I am the happiest I have been in years. That place is toxic, unorganized, petty, poorly run, gossipy, and generally bad for anyone's well being. If... — read more

Staples hits a new low

Staples is now finding new lows. Firing people before bonuses are due mid March and not giving severance. Such a toxic and cheap company. I suppose that $250 million they paid in the failed Office Depot merger had to come from somewhere. This company... — read more
