Where is the closest office depot
DO NOT Work At Office Depot | They Take It Too Far | Endangering Employees | OfficeMax
Camelot three three one here and what do
we have here another company has jumped
into the ring to battle it out for worst
damn company ever during a crisis like
we have going on now in that company his
office Dam Depot
what the hell Office Depot oh my gosh
essential employees we should probably
say what they really mean
and that's expendable employees so
Office Depot considers himself extremely
extremely essential and you can argue
whether they are or whether they're not
but in my opinion is not 1984 so you
don't need office supplies for working
at home because email but still you can
argue that point but nearly every office
Depot remains open with some doing
curbside that are basically forced to by
the government and they are absolutely
refusing to close that's nothing new we
hear this all the time but what else is
going on they are not taking care of
their associates in any way shape or
form and I'm gonna show you a bunch of
messages that say just that from their
associates and plus a lot lot more
weight to the last message whoo oh my
god they don't give a damn so before we
get into it make sure you give this
video a thumbs up doodle it's really
important and make sure you subscribe if
you haven't so first message I work at
Office Depot have you heard anything
from there lately well now we have they
say so our manager has told us to not
worry about cleaning mainly because
we're all out of supplies no hand
sanitizer no cleaning wipes no soap or
anything we are being told we're
essential because we sell water shocking
Wow they are not offered hazard pay or
anything if we choose to stay home it
goes directly against our record I was
made to sign a waiver saying that I
understand that I'm essential I guess so
we can't sue for chosen to come in
planning on quitting soon minimum wage
is it worth this I have elderly parents
and a lot of companies are doing this
they're not offering any pay and they
expect you just be okay risking your
life while they sit in their mansion and
then stay quarantine everybody ain't
any corporate office ever is not working
right now but the people on the front
lines that make almost nothing are
something strange about that and I know
what you're thinking that message was
just from one associate are there more
what is the morale like at Office Depot
right now while they completely ignore
the safety of all their associates for a
little bit of profit how do they feel
let's look on the associate reddit for
Office Depot and see just how they feel
you could probably imagine how they feel
check this out
to upper management in corporate we're
risking our health life and sanity for
your bonus I'm sure you're tired of
hearing us complain about working in the
front lines here in the store but what
you're not considering is we are not
only risking getting and spreading the
virus we're dealing with the mass
hysteria that comes with a pandemic
people lining up at the front 30 minutes
before open peeking in and watching the
stock the shelves and ready the store
that brings back the PTSD for me when I
saw somebody outside I just wanted to go
in the back and in at all when they're
just waiting on you to open there's
nothing more noxious than that if you
wanted a zombie apocalypse well just
work it off depot it's basically the
same thing banging on the lock doors
until someone comes to tell them no we
are out of sanitizers or paper towels
and Lysol and toilet paper customers
getting upset at us asking for them to
respect our personal space cursing at us
for the lines and tables you told us to
put up I have had many older people
coming in to simply browse and then
denied the existence of the virus
completely so I know they aren't taking
precautions to prevent the spread
associates scared of coming to work
because we don't have the resources to
sanitize our store we deserve more than
what you're providing for dealing with
this for you you being the corporate
office and the executives at Office
Depot we deserve something more than our
low hourly wage retail is keeping you
and your family safe at the cost of our
health mental and physical reward us for
that the media is watching and that's
very important the media is watching
does Office Depot care hey don't know
they don't give a damn they've done
absolutely damn nothing to help their
associates at all
and you'll see it more in-depth than
that message that I'm gonna read you
here at the end check this out managers
hopefully you finally seen how corporate
really feels about store level
associates stop drinking the kool-aid
and look around damn it I know kool-aid
is delicious especially the cherry con
but it is not good to drink the
corporate kool-aid other retailers left
and right are shutting their doors the
DMS are VP's the VPS and especially Gary
which is the CEO don't give a damn about
they are home right now hunkering down
you you're still in stores and barking
at associates who can't meet in the sign
up and square trade quotas now having to
deal with sick people and putting your
families at risk I had only one manager
during my tenure openly say corporate
doesn't give a damn about you now he
only says this once around so sheets he
can't rush but I wish more managers
we're as open as this I don't know how
the DC's are operating but this just
seals the final nail in the coffin the
employees are pissed and it's because of
Gary the CEO not willing to sacrifice
some of that money there's some
corporations out there where the CEO is
sacrificing his entire salary or cutting
it to pay associates well this guy do it
he'll know he'll he doesn't give a damn
he doesn't care about his associates
even a little bit why because money's
apparently delicious you could just eat
the hell out I don't damn know man I
don't know if you pronounce his name
Gary or Jerry I don't care he's not
worth me damn looking it up look at this
one you've done it Office Depot I feel
absolutely completely worthless and
expendable think about that for a second
you're trying to buy these associates
loyalty that's what you want in a
company you want to buy your associates
loyalty treat them right make them want
to work for you not because they're told
to do so but because they want to that's
how a business should operate and that's
how it will be profitable but they feel
completely worthless and expendable and
to be honest the CEO probably feels the
same about his associates look at this
guy
crazy thanks Gary / Jerry I hope you
know I can prove I've practiced social
distancing 24/7 when not at work and if
I get tested positive I can
prove I contracted it from the store I'd
love to make your pugazh hurt if I even
live through this check this one out
see Office Depot buy after some internal
debating I've decided effort I'm out I
texted one a manager finishing up my
last shift and told the second manager
the one not taking a vacation and told
them I'm going into isolation and will
not be coming in for my shift on Monday
the one on vacay still hasn't answered
my texts and I doubt he will the other
one looked a bit disappointed it may be
a little worried about next week but I
had to do it sucks too because I
actually enjoy that manager I expect to
get a phone call Monday followed by
another one the week after by the second
week I'm almost a thousand percent sure
they'll be sending me a letter saying I
no call and no showed for two longer
they're canning me piss me off but hey
maybe you should actually take
precautions to keep your workers safe if
you're gonna be paying them $8 an hour I
take being broke over getting my family
sick any day and that's the big thing
here that's the big thing you have to
think about people's families but does
does the executives think about it this
does Gary slash Jerry think about it
he'll know he doesn't care of course
they don't care about your family all
they're doing is making this situation
worse and they will do it gladly at the
expense of thousands of people that they
probably do affect negatively with this
over making a couple million dollars in
profit that's how that works
I don't give a damn look at this one
right here sorry I'm a GM all I can say
is I am sorry I came to this company
five years ago after working for a truly
horrible company I fell in love with
Office Depot but now I see what this
company really is my store is in a huge
retail Plaza and we are the only store
that hasn't closed or reduced ours
closed or reduced hours at all they're
not doing anything it's crazy to me they
should be doing curbside nationwide at
the very very least curbside only like
Best Buy is doing right now
curbside only that's it and that's even
if they were considered essential which
they're not we are open later than
grocery stores Walmart and Target I
don't get it well that's insane we have
daily conference calls about how good
sales are and to put signs everywhere
outside and in
Street saying we're open please come in
please give us money please we want to
benefit from this nightmare that
everybody else is dealing with meanwhile
my associates asked me why does
corporate not care about us as they work
from home you best didn't believe
corporates not doing anything right now
I don't have an answer because I refuse
to tell them the truth
profit / Associates profit over people
every damn time and these fake letters
they send us telling us how much they
appreciate us oh and to add insult to
injury while all these people are
putting their lives on the line this guy
which is the CEO is sitting here in his
five o'clock shadow at home in his Nike
shirt in his mansion sending the
associates of video saying how good
they're doing thank you guys so much for
risking your life so I can live in my
damn mansion and Quarantine myself away
from the world and stay safe and keep my
family safe but you guys could go [ __ ]
yourself that's basically what's
happening here look at this letter this
last guy just talked about a letter they
received look at this very simply I'd
like to say thank you thank you to all
our associates across the entire
organization who are pushing hard every
day and navigating uncharted territory
to keep our Office Depot operational
during these addresses that it thank you
guys while I'm at home the path forward
will continue be challenging we will
become tired we will get stressed and we
will have obstacles to overcome but
we've already demonstrated that's
possible when we work together and I
have no doubt we'll continue to deliver
haha I have no doubt meaning they ain't
closed any time soon right here continue
to eat care of yourself your family and
your colleagues and thank you again for
your continued dedication best regards
Oh Gary the CEO what an absolute slap in
the face thank you make sure you take
care of your family and everybody else
oh yeah you can't because you're here
right now being essential gotta sell the
copy paper and the pens and stuff here's
something I want to point out right away
really really fast right away look at
this right here this is a county health
officer in an effort to slow the spread
of this thing dr. Thomas Harris Floyd
the county health officer does here my
order a mandate for all non-essential
retail services to close walk in service
to the public this includes
automobile dealers furniture stores
electronic and appliance stores Lowe's
gamestop cosmetic stores personal care
stores salons barbershops tattoo parlors
clothing and shoe stores jewelry stores
sporting goods stores music shops book
stores hobby and craft stores florists
office supply stationery gift stores
libraries fitness centers cardi schools
and auctions right there office supply
stationery gift stores that's all I want
to point out real quick on what is
actually considered essential now let's
move on so here's the spicy message that
details every damn thing that's going on
we got to spread this make sure make
sure you share the hell out of this
video maybe we can save these associates
and get them out of these damn stores if
it gets enough negative PR so here's
this message right here it says hey cam
I'll work it off as deep ho and it is
burning down they do not even care a
little about us
I want the stress that we're not allowed
to wear face masks there's no hazard
page stores are having a hard time
restocking essential cleaning product
and employees aren't allowed to take
pre-emptive self quarantine without
accounting against our attendants our
store was super busy until the state
went on full lockdown meeting my
co-workers had to face an increased
volume of customers also meaning they
had a higher chance of coming into
contact with somebody with this but the
one thing that I want to push more than
anything is our stores are still open to
walk-in customers at this stage we
should be online orders only so we can
offer items shipped from the store or a
curb stop like I said but there is no
reason to continue putting our
associates and the public in danger by
allowing our doors to stay open the only
reason I could think of that they should
be open it's so Gary / damn Gary combine
another damn mansion and you best and
believe he does want another mansion
yeah that lived less you have to at
least two now that we're in state
lockdown of non-essential business the
only customers that seem to be coming in
are coming in to browse more than
they're actually to get essential of
supplies and our sales have suddenly
tanked since the lockdown went into
effect we're also not a full-size post
office or FedEx location we ship third
party through these carriers they want
us to stay open because we
I would say curbside drop-off a packages
with pre-printed labels only would
suffice or we need to make a special
case for shipping customers that they're
allowed in the store but only to ship
and no purchases allowed a co-worker of
mine literally came in and said her
mother has this thing and that she was
supposed to be a home in quarantine then
she just shrugged many of my co-workers
were around her all day
Office Depot will in fact be at the
result of some deaths they are helping
spread this thing most companies are
having to close down the police are
coming in and forcing them to close down
at Office Depot if they show up they're
just giving a number to call and then
they just fight them on it of course but
the public health doesn't consider them
essential and really in my opinion
they're not either listen listen I'm
looking at you Gary
/ damn Gary look at me in my eyeballs I
hope you're watching right now closure
stores protect your associates stop
thinking about your damn mansion you
already got one be happy with you
mansion maybe just settle for a Ferrari
or something I don't know
holy hell so that's all I have make sure
you give this video a thumbs up doodle
like it subscribe and make sure you
share it with everybody we can make a
difference as people it's damn possible
for sure we do it all the damn time so
until next time make sure you get on it
doggone it yeah
