Layoffs July 2023

Heard they cleaned house once again. Over 200 field reps, 3 vp’s 6 directors. Some real shockers such at director of facilities although rightly so. He was pretty ineffective. Who has the skinny on this round?

No layoffs make me nervous

We're due a round and with no mention of coming layoffs, I'm starting to get nervous. You know what they say about the calm before the storm... Unlike many of you, I like my job and I have no intentions to leave unless I'm forced out. Hopefully, that... — read more 

Why are you still at Office Depot

I left eight months ago and I couldn't be happier. There are plenty of available jobs right now and many of them pay more - I went up $3 per hour since I left. I also replaced a horrible manager who used to insult us and yell at us all the time with... — read more

When will this end?

Two more locations are closing in NJ. How many is that this year? I've lost count. Why isn't management doing anything to make sure closings are not necessary? Do they not care? I'm tired of thinking about layoffs and possible closings 24/7. What... — read more 

Closing stores 2021

Just found out the store I currently work at is closing in March. It’s pathetic that some company’s like Office Depot have SUCH high prices, which is why most of the locations are closing. As an operations manager, now I’m left trying to find a... — read more

They do not care

As a former manager I was instructed once to lay off 8 people 3 days before Christmas. They do not care. They love to do layoffs in January and May. All the stores will be gone within the next couple of years, focusing on being a distributor... — read more

Pay doesn’t cut it anymore

Has anyone else seen a cut in hours? I have seriously gone down to less than 30 hours a week, when previously I had 32+ hours consistently. This has definitely cut into my living expenses and I am at a total loss on what to do. I’ve cut back on a lot... — read more

Forced to pay out of own pocket to return computer

I was laid off on 5/14 from corporate and the company made us pay out of our own pocket to ship computers back to the office. Ridiculous. They are literally making people pay $20 to return their equipment. You do not get your severance until they... — read more

Furloughed or laid off?

Were people furloughed or laid off? One is temporary, the other is permanent. It'd be good to know what exactly we're dealing with here.

COVID-19 is just an excuse
