They also got rid of a couple corporate positions, including a graphic designer and someone who led NIL.
Not really a layoff in mid March.
JRC has reached the bottom.
Where do they go from here? 🤔
Has anyone heard anything? They did cut some market leaders about seven months ago so I know they’re probably not rumors, you know everything at Follett takes six months longer than they say it does. They also got rid of a couple corporate positions, including a graphic designer and someone who led NIL.
How many more can they cut in the field?
Won’t even pay the few pennies for water!
You KNOW they aren’t cutting anyone in the Ivory Tower.
Failure after failure.
"I just heard they are culling 10% of all staff week of April 15, and then another 10% in June"
May I ask whom "they" are and what are your sources? Did you hear this first hand or did someone say it and now it is gospel?
This rumor seems to start a couple of times a year, but nothing really comes of it after. I know it happened in 2021 when they eliminated all part timers. Then after PT's were back they hours were hacked to bare minimum.
I just want to know who the sources are.
I just heard that they're culling 10% of all staff week of April 15, and then another 10% in June. Let the bloodbath ensue! Apparent it won't hurt too badly because a lot of the cuts will be due to just letting a bunch of contracts end with the school year.
Be more worried about if JRC will do to Follett what the private equity company that bought Joanne fabrics did to them.
JRC is going to make money for it's investors.
Any time frame ? We’re past mid March
I hope my ML isn't terminated, I actually like her as apposed to m previous ML who did get let go
Let’s hope it’s the ever so pointless MLs who came from big box and rely on CSLs and SMs to do their job!!!! I know which market I hope goes first.
ML and CMML definitely.
I heard the same! ML as well.
Nobody in the Ivory Tower will be affected.
Sources, please- or is this just speculation again?
Ivory Tower VPs, Senior VPs, or Executive VPs to be eliminated???!!!
