Mary Lee Schneider - what non sense she spoke. On the board for 10+ years, 2 years as CEO, positive accomplishments=0, negative accomplishments=priceless.

"This new facility will allow us to bring together and leverage Follett's significant Chicago-based capabilities in retailing and technology to transform the way education is delivered," said Mary Lee Schneider, President and CEO of Follett Corporation.

Early next year, approximately 750 employees from the Company's corporate office and higher education businesses at suburban operations in Oak Brook, Westmont and River Grove will relocate to Three Westbrook Corporate Center.

Follett will renovate the building using the latest design concepts to enhance collaboration among expert teams in the areas of e-commerce, digital content and systems, marketing and other functions serving higher education. Follett has contracted Chicago design firm Cannon Design to provide the design services for the renovation of Three Westbrook Center.

It's better than Google! But where are the 750 employees? Mary Lee Schneider - aka Galactus - Eater-of-Worlds and destroyer of companies!

The tax deal negotiated with Illinois pays for Westbrook. Sublet the ADC office or move in Woodridge would save

The family let Mary Lee do what she wanted. This was her collaboration building, one that she publicized to any newspaper/magazine that would listen. It is hideous and unproductive.

There was a group of people that picked that building.

You cannot blame just one person, also DE had nothing to due with how much Follett paid.

That was down again by a small group of higher ups. AOH, MLS, Follett family, DF etc.

That building is all Mary Lee. The destroyer of jobs and companies. Follett will NEVER recover.

Well Thank You for letting us know DE is a she, that really narrows it down big time!!!...So maybe Follett should investigate how certain people got their jobs such as BF, SF, and them 2 maintanence guys got their jobs....the company preaches Follett values, (that's totally BS), but violate their Code of conduct, and they expect their "team members" to follow the rules....maybe RG and KL should really know what's going on

DE didn't pick the building nor did she have say on what was chosen.

That was the start of the downfall of Follett. Along with the 50 million venture capital investment. Any return on that investment?
