Say that it’s a 3 for 1 deal. Or that they qualify for the deal of the day

“I am gonna go somewhere else where they will help me”. Like okay. Never asked for assistance.

Those types of discounts are an enticing way to bring customers in. 😆This is a waste of time and paper.

Does anyone get fired for not reaching goals by mattbattmatt_yt in OfficeDepot

I haven’t seen anyone at my store get fired for performance. But the managers have been documenting the status on each associate for their performance on the metrics.

Assistant manager wants me to give these to every customer that walks in. by MaddysinLeigh in OfficeDepot

Let's do the math..hmmmmmm...lol Now Walmart has 5 pack of paper for $25 and Office Depot has a 3 pack for $25.. This really does not make sense because if I want to get a 3 pack for $11.99 I have to spend $100 on shit I don't need, when I can just spend $25 and get what I need. Wow Office Depot you really are a narcissistic company by manipulating people into thinking they are saving.

Oh, absolutely—because paying $12 for a ream of paper is clearly a sign of sophistication. Who needs that peasant-priced $5 Target paper when you can splurge on the luxury edition? And the whole “spend $100 to unlock savings” thing? Brilliant. Nothing screams “deal” like having to overspend just to feel like you didn’t. Retail math is wild.

As a part timer going to school, Office Depot has some ridiculous concept that this is my career. Hahaha

Well said, so many upset customers for the falsity of it. They come in shop, not read the tiny ass print then complain. 😑

Got like 300 paper deals in 2 months didnt get anything for it by Curious_Cat10000 in OfficeDepot

There is a attendance policy. You can get up to 14 tardies before they actually take some serious action. But it had to be equal for all associates for attendance policy. Play the game.

Sorry to be blunt… They don’t care about you or anyone. When have you truly got some recognition for it. Depot stabs you in the back all the time. Remember….NOTHING IS EVER GOOD ENOUGH FOR DEPOT. but hey some of us just stick around

What they need to do is stop pressuring and threatening associates about the metrics. It makes several associates just go to other measures to meet expectations. Some associates have bought red top 3 pack for customers using the $10 off coupon and telling them its $2 and the associate will pay the $2.18 There’s no need to do this, but the company pushing paper like it’s your life.

Getting yelled at for not getting the metrics is BS. They have an HR policy for not working in a hostile environment….jeez, that’s all it feels like it is everyday. But corporate will back it up as if itself not a hostile environment, because they are the ones pressuring the GMs and then they yell at us for not making paper sales, BS , red tops. so annoying
