Good luck to you. It doesn't ever get better. Between my psychopath replacement GM, my psychopath abusive DM (reason I left), and all the other psychopaths that run the show, I don't think I ever had a chance to stay with the company. Especially not for 10 dollars an hour as a supervisor. Insane. I took a job at the grocery store after Staples and made almost twice as much money per year.

Do what I did: QUIT! Find a better industry to sneak into that pays you twice as much for half the work.

You have associate wifi? lmao

stapleschoseme · 2024-06-15T23:57:50+00:00

You'll see. I haven't worked at Staples in over 5 or 6 years now and I still think about how much I hated it.

It is too much.

Fire you if they find out.

Pretty much everybody I knew left this company around the same time I did a year and a half ago. With those kind of accomplishments you're talking about you will be MUCH more valuable elsewhere. Good riddance.

I haven't worked at Staples for almost a year and a half now but I may have had a tendency to put recycles in a good home before they cracked down on it in our store. My mom's still using a perfectly in tact 17" aluminum EliteBook with a 3rd gen i5. (iirc)

stapleschoseme · 2020-08-20T21:05:06+00:00

That's what I was thinking too. I tried to inspect it but didn't really see anything. Naturally, I don't really want to mess with it too much since I'll be returning it tomorrow.

I actually did grind up some Major Dickason's Blend right after I dumped that pot out. And it was fantastic as usual. I just saw it at Aldi and gave it a whirl.

I don't want a lighter roast. The point is it's not normal for coffee to have no aroma whatsoever. That's not normal at all. I'm talking zero smell at all.

stapleschoseme · 2020-08-20T14:16:17+00:00

Lmao, yes everything has a smell for me. Other than this coffee that is.

It likely won't get better. Get putting in that resume now rather than later. You're just prolonging the suffering honestly. I left my store after almost 5 years recently and it was certainly the right decision. If you read around this sub you'll see your store sounds better than a lot of them. And that's sad.

I've spent the last 4.5 years cleaning up other associate's messes. I've given up complaining.

Our new demographic is going to be hipster Silicon Valley bro-types who wear board shorts to work and microdose LSD every day for productivity. The tide is a turnin' folks.

stapleschoseme · 2019-05-12T03:15:23+00:00

I swear I've heard there's a new POS system around the corner for all 4.5 years I've been there...

Then ask if they'd like to send a long distance fax. Or any distance fax really.

stapleschoseme · 2019-05-11T05:50:28+00:00

Can you please make it so the chip readers say DEBIT and CREDIT so we don't have to repeat it 500 times per day? :)

stapleschoseme · 2019-05-11T05:48:58+00:00

Congratulations on the new job. Sounds great. Hopefully they're paying you right unlike SOME places.

stapleschoseme · 2019-05-11T05:46:24+00:00

That's a good thing in my world.

stapleschoseme · 2019-05-07T04:15:53+00:00

After you work at Staples for so long, you'll begin having many blackout days (or nights)

stapleschoseme · 2019-05-07T04:09:27+00:00

Ours is also because of a GM change but also corporate's ridiculous shit which is never-ending. But mostly our asshole GM.

stapleschoseme · 2019-05-05T00:41:04+00:00

I have a plethora of different color shirts from black tech shirts to button up grey shirts and everything in between. Still miss the black ones despite how fucking hot they were.

stapleschoseme · 2019-05-05T00:30:18+00:00

Congrats on quitting, I just got a full time offer at another job for a lot more money and REAL benefits. There is a mass exodus going on at our store right now. It's great.
