Staples: Where's Your Commitment?

It's 8:15 PM, and I'm still grinding at work. Staples, why aren't you?

BY OFFTOBJS & ELLAMAY 19, 2026UPDATED MAY 19, 2026

It's way past quitting time, and I'm still at my desk. It's 8:15 PM on a Tuesday, and the grind hasn't stopped. Yet, where's Staples? Nowhere to be found.

This isn't just about one late night. It's about commitment. When you're in it for the long haul, you don't clock out early. You show up, you put in the hours, and you don't leave your team hanging. But it seems Staples has different priorities.

In the world of work, reliability and dedication matter. If you're going to talk the talk about being a dependable partner, then back it up. Don't leave your employees asking where you are when the workday stretches into the night.

This isn't a one-off complaint. It's a call for accountability. Staples, if you're going to be a leader in the office supply industry, you need to lead by example. That means being there, even when it's inconvenient.
