china retaliation

since everything we sell comes from china, vietnam, or cambodia I suspect the ""slump"" we are currently enduring will quickly turn into a ""slide"" brace for impact

HERE WE GO AGAIN

Essendant is at it again..Another reduction in force. This company has lost its power. It's only gotten worse with new ceo. Wonder what Sycamore Partners will decide on it's future.

!

this co. has been on a downhill slide for a decade at least. that's the reason we got bought out in 2019 by SP disguised as staples but then covid happened and we had an uptick in sales so SP put their "PLAN" for us on the back burner. now we are... — read more

big layoffs at staples

another round of layoffs at staples this week. it is logical to think that sp will begin some butchering at essendant soon as well. then they can fully merge the 2 companies into one entity.

me

it seems we will continue to bend over backwards for mason. i was hoping they would pull some of their biz and give this sh*thole co a wake up call. they have mason and barely any other clients. wrong way to do business.

Not sure why no posts here - all other companies have discussions. I guess here we have a situation where our folks are always silent.
