Thread regarding United Stationers Inc. - Essendant layoffs

Bad Financial Health

They have already been layoffs but they haven't officially called them layoffs. If you look deeply enough anyone who's been with essendant more than 7 to 10 years is no longer with the company basically.

They've been offered packages secretly and have found other positions elsewhere. If essendant announces they're having layoffs it will send a message to the marketplace / Wall Street insinuating the notion of essendant having additional bad Financial Health which is preposterous because the balance sheet already shows the financial struggles essendant is going through. I'm not a financial analyst but I can say this.. essendant biggest struggles are

  • Misguided leadership

  • Merchandising

  • Uncommitted customer base

  • Reaction time to market trends

Being one of the largest players in a dying industry. Essendant has no more room to grow in the office supply industry which was foundation it was based on...so now it's time to contract/step aside and let Amazon and independent reseller buy directly from the manufacturers...

i wish I would get offered a pkg!! i'm tired! tired of doing the job of half a dozen ppl and getting paid for one!
the other problem with essendant…… I have never in my lifetime worked with so many lazy scheming sleazebags! they all seem to expect a paycheck because they managed to clock in on time and therefore should not be required to do any physical labor as well.

United Stationers board of directors never should of listened to Cody Phipps former president and then it all went down the c-apper, They never should of merged all the companies under 1 name. Biggest loss of customers ever. Lagasse was a big money maker for them and ruined a good company.

its a damn shame. all they care about is their bonues
