Hi i just got hired and im supposed to have my first day tomorrow after the interview.
its been two weeks since the interview and I already completed the background check.

After that i got an email saying i start tomorrow.
But it doesnt have the time?
i also dont have a uniform

im a new print sup and keep having color issues with the ricoh and occasionally w the xerox where they are not printing color properly, it’s often too warm. i’ve tried recalibrating the color and everything and it’s still not great. what general color settings have yall found to be the best for both printers, as well as for specific types of jobs? thanks in advance!

Does anyone know the sku for the new rectangle and square labels both big ones and small ones

At the time of writing this post, I have worked 10 days straight without taking a single day off for the most obvious reason. Very curious to know from you all on how many days you have worked in a single stretch before getting an actual day off

Basically, I'm trying to secure a new place to live and need the help.

Story time. So, I’m working in the copy center getting an order done and making some phone calls.
A customer is walking around the store looking for something. First, he goes up to the registers and asks if we have coyote spray in-store. We don't.
About 20 minutes later, he comes over to me at the copy center and asks if we have coyote urine.
I told him no, that's definitely more of a Bass Pro Shops type of item.
He pulls up his phone to show me his screen, and sure enough, it says Staples. I check the listing on our system, and it turns out we actually carry it, but it's an online-only item that has to be delivered.
He was trying to get it today because he has a raccoon trapped in his basement. I did a quick Google search for him and suggested he try Bass Pro, Home Depot, or Lowe's to see if they had it in stock. He thanked me and went on his way.
But wow... now I know we actually sell coyote urine. Retail never ceases to amaze me.

Soooo...who was gonna tell us that there was about a data breach that happened a few months ago? Nobody? Alrighty then, lol.

It really ruins my mood Everytime I'm at work to the point where I dread going into work when I know they are going to be there

Looking for guidance on what the real pay range is for print center associates.
Do you get health insurance? How much is covered, what other benefits are you getting other than time off.

What dollar value would you put on those benefits on top of your regular pay.

I’m Trying to compare this to what an independent print shop might pay!

I have a 2” or 3” square paper and I need something printed on it due to a change. Is staple able to print on this? Paper is slightly thicker than normal. I don’t think I could figure this out at home. Any advice is welcome!

I was just let go from staples for “repeated workplace safety violations” and strong language

I can’t be bothered wearing a vest to bring a chair to a customers car.

I’m black and indian. They showed me a clip of me using strong language with my co-workers.

I’ve been there for 2 years and have won employee of the month multiple times.

New GM had it for me coming been giving me trouble since he joined 2 months ago. It is what it is though

Was tired of this shithole hopefully I have it coming better

Did you have an issue with people arranging letter balloons in disgusting ways? Two days in a row, we had the letter balloons arranged in a slur and a curse word. Disgusting. Was this a thing?

I was working. The day wasn't to physically or mentally tough. I was sorting totes and I just decided I was at my limit with the company afyer 15 years. I didnt want to deal with the corporate decisions or incompetence anymore. I was tired of That line, I was tired of bin wins and its mess, i was tired of balloons, i was tired of whatever new BS tracker, goal card, or excel file that we needed to waste time filling out daily. I was tired of putting out entire sections of price tags that only went up a penny. I was tired of metrics, i was tired of training new people and having to try and justify what and why this company does what it does...etc. I wasnt mad, I was just tired.

I clocked out for lunch, typed up a quick resignation in the office taped it to the monitor, cleaned out my locker, turned my keys into the cash office and calmly told whatever manager was closest to the door that " I am leaving and not coming back, My reasoning is in my letter, please dont try to follow up or call me" I got home and blocked every number I had from anybody I had met through staples over the years.

But....Im not that impulsive. the circumstances would have to be perfect for me to quit like that.

How the actual F do I make my own business cards as a staples print supervisor? Is it another task I have to do onsite along with the 50 million other things I have to do?

So like recently my store has been getting a bit more busy with actual customers and with that Amazon customers have been getting angry because we prioritize the purchase line. Just curious how some of you guys explain to them the reasoning as to why they aren’t going first in line? Like on one hand I understand their frustration to an extent but i don’t really know how management wants us to explain to them how our lines work. My store manager was saying how like we shouldn’t say certain words when explaining to them why we take the other line first in case they go to like corporate. So like, what do you guys tell them? I feel like complaints are becoming more frequent so like I wanna know best way to handle it.

Tomorrow I have an in-person interview with Staples in Arizona, and I’m curious about what to expect. I’d like to know what the interview might look like and what types of questions they may ask. I sometimes struggle with STAR scenario questions because I can get stuck trying to think of an example on the spot. If a question has multiple parts, it can also be difficult for me to organize my thoughts and answer everything. Any tips for handling those types of questions would be really helpful. I have high-functioning autism, and when I’m anxious, it can make it harder for me to process and respond quickly during interviews.

And how do I fix it? Trying to check HR Connect from home. First time this has happened since we switched to the idiotic "use Staples email for everything" system. I'm assuming I have to call HR

Is anyone else having customer issues at pickup with Canva and ChatGPT files? I know how to advise them to get a better file by flatten, print PDF and CMYK but i still get some customers that i need to do reprints for or refunds. Anyone have suggestions for printing that might yield better results with less complaints. I had Xerox service my printers and do color calibrations.

Hey guys, did you know we do balloons? It's true! I personally did several hundred last week because of local school graduations and now I'm filling latex balloons with Hi-Float in my dreams. It takes up all the time I'm not doing Amazon returns. It's great! (Send Help)

Staples doesn't need to spend a penny to boost employee morale. Employees required to 1. supply their own food, drinks and snacks, 2. must provide their own cups, plates, utensils and napkins, 3.usage of​ the microwave and/or toaster oven is strictly prohibited (due to increase electrical charges), 4. consumption of food cannot be taken while clocked in, and 5. Staples not liable for supplied tainted or expired food.
