Good move for Staples. Don't think it will fix morale. So many people are jumping ship, they may not have very many employees by then.
Amazon beating staples butt
We used to use staples for all our business needs. Most items arrived the next day with free delivery with competitive prices. Sometimes would pay a bit more, but was still cheaper than sending an employee to a local store for supplies. All that has... — read more
Invite to the take over party.
A Co worker got a tap on the shoulder for the corporate take over party of Office Depot. I didn't get the invite. Dies that mean I'm a possible fatality? Has anyone else hears about this office party amongst the upper management and exec teams?

Ronny Boys Stock
Interesting Ronny dumped over 2mm shares of stock in July. He's showing a current position of 1 share. What does he know or is he getting out?
Kool-Aid Drinking Management Summit
Anyone attending "The Summit" care to share details throughout the week? Give the truth and not rosy glossed over view that the managers are told to tell their people.

What is happening with the "Merger"? In the news it could happen, or it couldn't and now the EU is taking a look.
I bled Staples Red for so many years. I was looking at staying around for a lot longer than I did, but in the end my view of Staples and its direction soured over the last year. Management was getting promotions and underlings, the hardworking... — read more

401k
I found out while working at Staples that I could use my 401k for a first time home purchase. I put as much as I could into a condominium. It tanked as much as Staples stock. However, I feel eventually my property value will return. Glad I'm out of... — read more

Another round of layoffs
Staples sent around notice today to around 100 people that they were being terminated due to lower than expected numbers.
Your opinions
Our GM of many years is leaving. We are a tier 4 store that is less then profitable. Anyone care to weight in with what are the odds they just close us. Here's hoping.
Staples Inc. has laid off 65 full time associates from corporate office on August 04th
Staples is sinking ship, it has laid off 65 people recently from corporate office on August 04th. This is strange, for showing the better results in second quarter, Staples is laying off employees but keeping contractors.
NLRB hearing on Staples Postal services today....
Hopefully they rule in favor of the postal workers union that the USPS/Staples partnership violates their contract.
third party started this week
a-1 trucking from edison nj. two drivers.
"They laid off all the Sales and Operations managers that were part of the lawsuit" This is not entirely true.
There are still many that participated in the lawsuit around. The non Stillman class was invited to join because it prevented further lawsuits for the lack of overtime pay claim. Since AMs went hourly Staples lost a source of cheap labor and has been... — read more
