2 years ago they did a huge lay off the week of Thanksgiving. Rumor is it’ll be the same week this year.
Wow we really must be in trouble as we r a merchant lead followed by Rev. Man the marketing. If they start hitting those I am nervous.... so backwards this place...
There were layoffs in merchandising technology
What no way merchandising runs the company......
There were lay offs in merchandising last week
No one knows. No explanations. Sounds like MM AMs are privy to this confidential information and were told more than anyone else in the company, including the “dismissed”.
What were the fraudulent activities?
Someone said layoffs happened this week? That is Not what was communicated to mid market AM's, people were dismissed for fraudulent activities
Details on layoffs?
this was correct, layoffs happened today.
Im sure lay offs are coming with the bts results
Who’s SP
SP prepping exit
AM’s will manage accounts that spend over 20k per year. Anything lower that that will not have a dedicated person but there will be a team of account specialist using a pooled/chat system. So less ppl handling more accounts.
Some misinformation below. Account managers aren’t being replaced by AI but AI style programs will assist in the creation of accounts but this type of technology has existed for some time, Staples just wasn’t using it. AMs manage the existing account/relationship, they’re not acquisition
Account managers being replaced by AI. Inbound only. Doesn’t seem very proactive to build accounts but looks like a lot of inside sales folks will be going. Plus a change to outside sales comp plan will make many others walk away. This plus many other dept having to return to office will trim some fat for them
Does this have anything to do with the top secret meetings being held across the us with the sales team? Asset Protection Directors reaching out with confidential discussions? Uneasy times.
Im sure with these sales results there has to be some changes
If you’re going to freak out every time someone posts on this page, don’t come on to it. It’s called the lay off page, not protect your feelings page. The entire page is based on rumors whether they be true or not. Stay away if you can’t handle it
Give us a week, the estimated number impacted and from which divisions if you have all the answers. Show us that you are credible and not just a clown flipping employees out. This is cruel.
When are they happening, HR?
HR can confirm
Unless you are a part of the SLT or HR, you have no idea what’s coming next. Stop being a troll.
