Thread regarding Follett layoffs

Just got off the webinar for "Affected Store Managers" who chose to stay...

Wow. At least all of the recent decisions regarding our benefits and compensation were made "with the well being of 'each and every associate' in mind and are true to the Follett Values." There are just no words.

I like he comment RG made about needing to right size. When in the hell are they going to right size the executive suite? I would be more willing to take the hit if at least some kind of effort was made to reduce. What do they go and do at our expense....more executive promotions. So it's very clear who they think are the most important. Don't forget they are giving public praise on the quad. Jackas--s!!!!

I listened to the call today... Pushback and ill will seems to be rising against this move by Follett. Many other companies took a more employee friendly route in handling the change. Its tough to be told you're the most important folks in the organization and to trust while we are taking hack after hack to our livilhood.

Has the town hall video been released yet or are all these reports just from people who attended?

Townhall. No raises or bonuses for fiscal yr 2017 or 2018. 401k now 50cents to Dollar instead of $ to $.

No lay offs that are planned, but never say never.

We are in debit per Ray. Per Tim H we are debit free??

All in all get out if you can.

The webinars were yesterday, today and Monday. All affected associates are required to attend. It was mostly an hour long Q&A about the recent changes.
