Anyone know anything???

Is it possible that WB will merge with Staples? Seems like an obvious synergy .

Who was let go?

What does everyone think about the departure of AV-E?

The cyber leadership is filled with Yes people (Yes, to their master EC) minus a couple of real leaders. Those true leaders are now in the backburner but the yes people are right in the front. The Yes people are the ones who get all the benefits, LOL... — read more 

There were layoffs in my area starting in 2016. Sycamore came in because Staples was already dying. Of course, they haven't helped, but I am not really sure what would have even turned things around. The Easy button at least takes Staples back to its... — read more 

Per senior leadership brief this morning: STS is being sold to CDW in the fall in order to shore up funds for debt payments due this year. If you're in STS, please start looking now with an exit strategy before Labor day.

Horrible hiring practices. Recruiting black balling people. Yep, I have the names. This place used to be incredible. Then John Led and Sycamore happened. Then the layoffs started. Decided to go for cheaper not better and laid off rock star... — read more 

Every single person I know is either looking or praying to be laid off. That's how messed up things are right now.

Upper management is looking at badge in and out again. Habitual offenders will be bounced, no questions and no explanation. They are also comparing badge swipes and how often each associate VPNs into the network. Bloodbath by Labor Day!

We’re going to reinvent how customers see us, we’re not just an office supply company, we’re so much more. “Business is Human” is our campaign and we’re going big with it! We launch some new pens, coffee, break room snacks, that’ll do it! Oh shoot... — read more 

Buckle up. STS, Hitouch, BD, and Print all being looked at

Rumors of rankings happening. After rankings, layoffs come. Please post here to confirm.

In the less than 90 days 2 of my peers have left my STS team on the west. My leader, nice , but just un experienced. Idk what to do. Budgets are unrealistic. Do I quit? Or weather this storm? Does anyone have any insight?

Is this the calm before the storm?

Someone explain to me how they have had almost a handful of Regional Sales Director roles posted in the last 10 months but laid off their best Director last year? What the fu-k is happening over there?

Yes - Former Corporate Here They reduce cost They max earnings They cut expensive people They load on work to middle and lower levels with no added benefit They tell half truths where 'there are no layoffs planned, but with any... — read more 

Just got this word from my source close to the AVP group is that they have a “list” that is not official but of former employees that quote “would have to blow their socks off to return”. If someone has more insight please post. Plenty of top paid... — read more 

With many remote workers now holding multiple jobs, how common is this for on and offshore WFH at Staples? The average WFH is within an hour. Could this be due to other job commitments? Are they working for our competitors? HR must publish 2024... — read more 

Ok gang. Need all of us to take a deep breath. Senior Leadership here. We know there has been a lot of chatter on this message board but please know we are focused on 2025. Making it Easy! again. Let’s please stop the chatter on this board while we... — read more 

Walgreens employee here. I remember Staples 10 years ago being the top dog of Office and cleaning supply sales. Seems by reading this board the company has been devoured by poor leadership from John Lederer and we are next. Are we? Should I be... — read more 

Rumor that certain businesses didn’t achieve goals.

How likely are we to be profitable with all these tariffs especially one on China? We can't sell pencils made in US for 2 dollars!

You ki-led my career. I sacrificed everything to get what I loved doing. I hate my life because of you. Senior leaders, it on you.

How insulting is that email from JL our hard work is only worth a 1% raise after the BS q3 and q4 after raising our quota by 5% knowing a vast majority would not hit it just to sc--w us over and they can line their pockets with more money.

I find it funny as he-l that the managers who are on here keep flagging and reporting any bad talk about the pathetic merit raises we just got.

anyone else sick of whats happening in canada?

Horrible. Horrible gutless cowards.

These really good employees are treated like an abusive, one sided relationship. These people are treated like homeless Vietnam vets. This people are in a domestic violent relationship. I would think long and hard about how these people are... — read more

I have an offer on the table within the company and started reading this board. Holy god. Is it really that bad? People seem to hate the recruiters and top leadership? My interviews were pleasant. My recruiter seemed to push me through the process... — read more 

Time to turn things on their head and expose the bad leaders. Go look and see their Team’s away light. Are they green, yellow, red, or “unavailable”. Most you will see have been away all day.

Who are some of worst right now? Call these talentless hacks out.

Yo Staples, what should Walgreens peons expect with the Sycamore Partners buyout? What jobs were cut after the deal was sealed? Corporate office? Stores? We are like family now so please be honest. Thanks.

Maybe now the Henchman JL will leave Staples and prey on Walgreens. How is it even legal for him as a board member of Walgreens to engineer sycamore’s takeover. Guess he lives by a different set of rules.

Hearing strong rumors the two companies will be merging.

Once PAs are finished,should we expect layoffs in March ? Anyone heard anything
