How depressing is corporate today with everyone leaving?

Staples is trying to portray a company that has simply hit a few bumps. This is to benefit the wealth a few and harm many, many others. This company, or what's left of it, is in the toilet and a few people are looking to fill their pockets with... — read more

Things are going to get worse. Push digital receipts, rewards, liquid armor and cut labor while giving platinum service!! Oh yea, let's send out more coupons this week so we can close this period/year strong while cutting payroll.

Fade in. It was the last week of the fiscal year when the greedy overlords from the planet STAPLES decided they needed more tribute for the stockholders. In a bloodbath that lasted weeks they culled their beloved associates making it NOT a great... — read more

so sad to see so many people lose their jobs..... retail landscape is so tough right now. did Staples Canada see any layoffs happen? or is this just a Staples US thing?

I really want to say that these clowns have such a bad reputation that they would not got hired in an executive capacity any where else, but I'd probably be wrong. These guys are just one step ahead of crooks like Kenneth Lay, Bernie Ebbers, Sanjay... — read more

Just let me remind all of the infamous video of an angry Demos (about 3 years ago) berating store managers that complained about their bonus being eliminated. Demos took a huge stock bonus that same month.... AXXHOLE!!! Good riddance... can't wait... — read more 

Was Ron even in the building yesterday? I figure Demos was told of this before hand, likely Doody and Burke as well. That still leaves 150 angry and distraught people looking to channel some frustration.

If hundreds were laid off, then by law isn't the company supposed to publicly announce the layoffs? AND give employees ample notice?

Who did they let go and why? Was is based on your pay? Any other higher ups, regional or district managers? And why does demos get to stay til word on the merger. Big payout? Anyone else get this option?

We should hear this instead of cutting people that kept taking on more work each time Ron cuts people.

Anyone know if there were any cuts at Quill today, or any that might be coming up? A bunch of town halls are scheduled for tomorrow . . .

What's the severance?

More assistants/team supervisors ?? Doubt today was the only round...
