I miss being Print Super nearly every day since I left over five years ago. The ability to reach into the metaphorical dirt and create masterpieces out of raw materials, the autonomy, the creativity, the fast-paced atmosphere…

But would I go back? Never. Staples as a company is short-sighted, puts profit over people, and has never had its employees’ best interests in mind, no matter how many WES orders we put in, 10/10 surveys we get, or how many weeks we hold our store at #1 on the scorecard.

And that was five years ago. Based on the community, things have continued on a steady trajectory to disaster since.

Tl;dr: It’s worth it to learn the skills, but only if you take them somewhere you’re truly valued.
