Do any family members work for the company any longer?
I don't mean board members, people that actually have positions in the stores, home office, warehouse?

There are more and more joining the business lately or interning. Seems like there was a gap for a few years.
I have to say, I am more on the positive side when it comes to the family. I have had interaction with a few but one in Higher Ed a lot. The individual stayed off the radar of Follett family for sometime but now more and more know. They seem to not leverage it and I have brought many concerns to them that have made it to leadership and got addressed.
I would ask, though not all will do it, approach some of them and tell them your concerns. I know at least one of them will listen and act.
TL has been a "known issue" for a long time.
I wouldnt say TL "works" here. Every time I pass ways with him he looks drunk.
And don’t forget Todd - he’s family. Most of the family working here don’t have the Follett last name but are Follett’s, some by marriage.
There are quite a few family members working - Britten, Matt F, Pat, Alan, Kathy, Brendan, Frank - at FSS and FHEG. They seem to work hard.
Seriously, where are the family members? Living off the money we make them. I wonder how many of them even stepped a foot into one of the stores or worked in one?
a family member let go? seriously, they take the unqualified ones and promote them to SVP of Marketing or whether husband is still doing "work" for follett.
Wonder if any family member has been RIF'ed?
At least two I can think of. One with FVC and one with FLR.
There are a few still working.
