I've been gone from Staples well over a decade ago and I would like to know if anyone has any Crooked Manager Stories? I have plenty and would like to post them here if this site lets me.

Had ops manager a couple three years ago did. Cash returns with his own numbers the moron would see a customer do a cash sale for say ,,80 bucks and do return keep the cash he got caught when someone actually returned something he had done his own return on end of his job marched out by cops...
I had a sales manager who used to pride himself how he could spot economically disadvantaged customers and falsely accuse them of theft. He told me he wanted to "lie" and say I saw a customer steal merchandise. He claimed he received a financial reward each time he "discovered" another shop lifter. When I refused to go along he was furious and promised me each day he'd find a way to make it look I was stealing from the company. I attempted to tell District Manager, the General Manager and the hot line. Nothing happened. I was told by my GM and DM that they are "aware " of his behavior... but by acknowledging it....they would have to fire him. And they can't do that because he has a family to feed. He was allowed to do this for five years and no one stopped him. The people whom he accused were released because there was no evidence to hold them. It was later discovered that the Sales Manager who was doing all the accusing was the one stealing. However in that time. no one would take the word of the associates who saw this happen.
Please, go ahead and do so..... I am sure there are a lot of stories like that when the CEO himself takes a $300,000 undeserved bonus but stores that actually earned their bonus get ripped off. This whole company is crooked as hell and Ron's own actions high light this.
