What will happen if tomorrow Q3 earning announcement is below the target mark?

I feel like something is up but can't figure out what.

I work on the 5th floor east side. I hear Bill Ross gave his notice. He wasn't long for the world as he wanted to be SVP of Supply Chain. Guess he got impatient waiting for Don to retire.

There is life after Staples.

So much our financial leadership has been laid off in the last few months. We have no number crunchers and finance to backup field operations. The next to go is specialty services and the remaining B2B

We have to have made a lot of field revision by this date or if the reduction isn't satisfactory they'll drop the manager instead. In one of my district's the DM is acting GM since her store was on a cut list and she refused.

We're super busy and we're hiring drivers. Hired 7 seven so far in the last three months looking for two more.

We have til Friday to wrap up our work and then we are through.

I know of 1 store in the Chicago area, Anyone hear anything else

I've talked to at least a dozen DMs in the field, I have talked to RVPs, SVPs, there are literally no field reports of people defecating or otherwise in the stores. This is obviously either a very disgruntled and low functioning employee who is... — read more 

Do you maybe have a list. I am interested in Canada stores closing but if you have a comprehensive list with all Staples stores closing that'd be great too.

Does anyone have any info on changes that might impact SDOs in California?

https://www.consumeraffairs.com/retail/staples.htm Has senior leadership took these claims to heart? LOL, I think not. 3 months to go. Hooray!

As per previous notifications this subject is time and implementation sensitive and shouldn't be discussed at anytime with employees in the field. The reduction in expenses, mitigation of complex area issues, and the absorbing of expired assets must... — read more

Please list the ideas here, what would be things that you would do first to ensure the company survives and turns into a great company (I think most of us here agree that we suck for both the customer and employee).

Mostly the announcement was stuff everyone already knew, what did stick out however were statements like, "sometimes to fully reinvent you must start fresh," and, "the next few months will be painful, but pain is part of the healing process," "tech... — read more

As a long term contributor to the forum I am saddened we've been reduced to bowel based retaliation, those of us who warned of the assistant layoffs, logistics restructuring, logistics elimination, etc. We use this to combat a disreputable business... — read more

Got laid of Friday, have an interview for budget auditor Monday, should be careful about the talent you're turning away Staples.

I wonder if staples will be digging into the associates pockets, and parading the trucks done the streets, while shutting southern California down? It really is just a slap in the face.

All 16 centers closed Fri.

It's easy and justified to resent a company so abhorrent to its staff. But just be rational with your rage, get the biggest bang for your buck in the process. Report shorted labor, file a claim for a hostile work environment, write reviews of your... — read more
