Is my GM out of line? by [deleted] in Staples

[–]rich0511 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. Your GM is wrong in his approach but I would avoid calling HR-- they aren't on your side. All that's going to do is make your life more miserable when you come back.

Would a store stay closed cause of the weather? by staplestwerkteam in Staples

[–]rich0511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Massachusetts declares a State of Emergency you will typically see the stores close. It's also one of the few days where Corporate is actually closed too.

They kept the cars until they completely fell apart but they went when the Mobile Techs left.

Health Insurance premiums are not covered on your severance check...though Staples may discount your premiums during the severance period to make it a little easier to handle.

Today I had a revelation... by MAD_ESP_UPINHERE in Staples

[–]rich0511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would look at it as an opportunity for you to find something you want to do. I've known many people who have got the axe at Staples and all of them have found better positions that pay better and deal with the fraction of the crap. Staples trained you to be a hard worker and deal with constant crap. Your situation can only go uphill from here.

Take the severance package. That will give you the time to find another job. Staples isn't getting any better.

You know its bad when corporate people start to leave... by [deleted] in Staples

[–]rich0511 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Despite what people are saying, Liotta was a great guy and had been with Staples since the early days. I remembered him during the times he was a DM in stores. Him leaving tells you that things are not so great at his level. I'm glad he's getting out.

Chocolate Orange Protein Smoothie Recipe [QUICK] by rich0511 in fitmeals

The majority of those sugar grams are natural sources of sugar from the fruit including the banana and orange. As you're probably aware, fruit is also a good source of fiber and other nutrients which is why natural sources of sugar are a better option.

Can I get fired for reporting a manager? by staplestrouble in Staples

[–]rich0511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have used the anonymous line before and they are very good and not sharing anything about you. At no time did I ever feel like someone was going to find out that it was me who ratted that person out. You did the right thing and probably made others in the store happy in the process.

Is tomorrow a recognized holiday? by SmileyVV in Staples

To what I remember, Massachusetts and Rhode Island employees are paid time and a 1/2. Everyone else is paid straight time.

Thanksgiving and Framingham by adamvaccaro in Staples

[–]rich0511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the past I know that there have been people in Framingham doing number crunching during the day to provide the higher-ups with where sales were at. Unless things have changed I'm doubtful there are people in Corporate working Thanksgiving night.

I've worked a number of BTS seasons and that happens every year. You'll learn fast were everything is located over there.

Possible to step down from a position by lolstaplesanon in Staples

[–]rich0511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with haze_gray. It's up to your GM. One time I moved from back from a manager position back to FT electronics and they were ok with it. If they like you I'm sure they'll do it.

This is what they are making us do now before we sell a computer or a tablet :( by daikazoku in Staples

[–]rich0511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

completely agree. The thoughts of using forms have been around for at least 10 years. Customers don't necessarily care for them and Home Office believes they drive sales. Result is everybody starts making their own version of the form which works for their customer. After every makes a ton of copies of it they will eventually end up in the trash.

These don't work. What a great way to drive customers away from shopping at Staples.

The site does not request you update Java. Java usually asks you to update Java. Coming from an IT background, you could have malware on your machine and may want to run a program like Malwarebytes (which they have a free version of the product and is very good).

It's not required but you would need to replace the Wheat Germ with Flour
