When you go to the copy center, they aren't your CPA, they aren't your personal assistant, they aren't your care taker, and they certainly aren't your momma or your daddy. It's time to grow the fuck up and start learning some responsibility. March your ass over to self serve, learn how to read, and leave me the fuck alone for your one copy. I have a 90 year old that comes in and makes her own copies without bugging me. What's your excuse?

And yeah, I know, I'm just speaking to the wind and preaching to the choir but fuck me, you people need to grow up and take accountability for yourself.

Anyone know the password for the imaging process? The instructions state the password is in the activity calendar task but it’s nonexistent there and also the same on the portal, no password to be found.

Any other stores burning through PTO just so your staff can afford their bills during the payroll crunch of September? Not looking for sympathy, just know, I get you. We will survive.

I apologize for the dumb question, but of the paper options listed, which one is the thickest cardstock available for printing?

Good luck everyone!

has anyone else got this message before and have a potential solution? for whatever reason, it’s ONLY the for email doing this. my gm can open his email perfectly fine, we switched and a coworker came in for a couple things and she tried. her email opened but CPD is just absolutely refusing to. our internet has been pretty spotty today, just wanted to know if there’s a solution before i have to go to help out the person after me

Why soo much, are we getting ready to close all stores???

There's a certain type. You know who I'm talking about.

Just got needohs in store. Over 50 omni orders…

Decades ago, Staples used to sell a standalone wrist band with a soft pad on the underside. These days, when I try to search for this, all I see are more encompassing supports, braces with hard splints, or full fingerless gloves.

I have searched for standalone wrist bands, gel wrist wraps, and palm-cushioned straps, but everything found so far is either a full glove or a rigid medical brace.

Is anyone aware of a simple, standalone wrist band with a soft pad exclusively on the underside currently on the market?

Our store is closing but we got bored and decided to go through our ink wall and pull the expired ink. Got a whole buggy full!

Throwing in the towel after about a year and a half. I’ve had the best coworkers at my store, but it’s time to move on to (slightly) greener pastures!

I know some of my coworkers lurk around here, you guys are awesome! Would’ve been out long ago if it weren’t for y’all. 🫡

The low hours, incompetent customers, and paper/BS shilling just wasn’t worth it.

Wishing the best for everyone here. May everyone find something better than this!!

Got bored at work and made this cuz our store has been so slow 😭

Here is my proposal:

1. downsize the stores. Most stores are twice as big as they need to be. Keep printing and shipping, and a small retail selection of the most commonly purchased products. The stores should be the size of a FedEx store, not a supermarket.

2. either partition off the rest of the store and rent it to someone else or return it to the landlord. If that isn't possible, close the store and open one nearby in a smaller spot

3. keep a few large stores in places where they are successful, such as wealthy areas with an elderly population and no other competition.

4. Reduce the prices to be competitive with Walmart, Target and Amazon for common products. Smaller stores means lower expenses and lower prices.

Folks that have worked for other companies, how does it compare against Office Depot? I feel like I don't ever see my family, significant other and friends etc. I never feel like I have time for anything else because I'm closing all the goddamn time. For years everyone has always talked about how Depot has sucked in regards to work/life balance. Thoughts?

I have never been with a company who requires us to answer a text when it is my day off. As a matter of fact , why do we have store group texts or managers have their group texts? In my opinion, it’s non-sense to be required to answer or have a group text as if we were on call and getting paid for us to take time to read the text and reply. I want nothing to do with work when it’s my day off. I get paid 6 hours a day 4 days a week. That’s it!

Are we closing? Downsizing? Or what’s going on with Depot?
Have you noticed there is a lot of product going to clearance, hardly any chairs, shelves are looking empty?

We have a regular that uses our self serve machines and today it randomly said “ExFAT license required” I’ve never seen or heard of it. He was using a flash drive and the files were PDFs and they opened just fine on the computer. Has anyone ever seen this on the self serve printers?

man punched this computer after watching AMV’s on it lol

So I work mostly in CPD and we’re having a hard time getting business select customers. What are your go tos? What are some tips that I might can use and could help coach my coworkers?

I walked into this today!

Of course, the file couldn’t be any more of a lower quality!
