To anyone who’s been laid off in the last decade or so: I have a simple message comprised of five words that I hope may be of a little solace: Say goodbye to the guilt. It will never help you, and dollars to doughnuts you didn’t deserve it in the... — read more

Staples made most of it's money as a brick and mortar store. How is this miraculous transformation going to take place to be an eventual on line company? From the corporate speak I am reading they are going to have a few stores left in the chain. How... — read more
