Thread regarding United Stationers Inc. - Essendant layoffs

HERE WE GO AGAIN

Essendant is at it again..Another reduction in force. This company has lost its power. It's only gotten worse with new ceo. Wonder what Sycamore Partners will decide on it's future.

But the candidates see we make less than everyone else and do more work than others. So they ghost. It's open feeling that essendant is in final stages of going under. To many things point obvious

I heard nearly 100 laid off from corporate. Unsure about whs layoffs.

CEO is so arrogant. Napoleon complex. Fancies himself an innovative industry disruptor. All he’s doing is dismantling the company.
