Talk:Office Depot - Knowledge

balance between work and life, but this does not apply to its employees. For employees of Office Depot, Work is all that matters. This is especially true of store management. It is not uncommon for store managers and assistant managers to work 70 or more hours per week, especially since Steve Odland became CEO and cut payroll. Many AutoZone employees have expressed that they are very happy to be rid of Mr. Odland and that they now have the staff necessary to run a store properly. Office Depot management must make up for the cut in payroll so Steve can look good and move onto his next company. Hopefully, this will occur soon.

433: 339: 703:. I share with you a desire to best maintain the NPOV of wikipedia articles and I still wish to work with you on this front. However, I do not see the view that plainly stating a company's policy constitutes a POV in any matter since it is not presented in either a favorable or unfavorable light nor is there any impression of endorsement or discontent. If you can demonstrate any POV in the wording of any of those polices, that would better substantiate the POV contention. 315: 163: 22: 74: 53: 84: 2214: 1940: 812:. We all know that wikipedia is a constant work in progress, with differing degrees of quality across the board. On some level it is unfair to try and justify a massive edit because one company's page includes different factual information about it. I will point out that none of the articles you referenced are classified as a "Featured Articles" or even "Good Articles". In fact, both the 480:

contrast to posting...say.... the Return Policy information which is one several other retailers page? Or, more pointedly how is this more relevant then posting the Private Brand listing or Recycling programs? If someone is interacting with Office Depot, the LPG or Return policy is just as relevant to them and their interaction.

Removed various recent additions that were posted as "warnings" due to lack of neutrality and lack of verifiability/citation), as well as removed a recent addition citing an "upcoming change" due to lack of verifiability and commenting on future events without citation. Was not logged in when I made

Revised multiple recently added sections - corrected spelling error, updated citations, removed vandalism and questionable content. Also removed one section ("M2 Format") that would be better suited for placement inside the timeline format that currently exists. Section on "M2 Format" can be edited

is indeed most concerned with external link spamming and it is true that there is no official policy or guideline concerning acceptable content with regards to promoting a certain company. That same guideline however says "Wikispam articles are usually noted for sales-oriented language". Furthermore,

1995:

moved Office Depot to The ODP Corporation. This made no sense because Office Depot, Inc. did not disappear; it is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of The ODP Corporation. If you go read the press releases, it's clear that The ODP Corporation was created as a holding company. The correct approach would

1115:

But the rub is that while anyone could order this book from Office Depot or the Publisher (and could be verified by anyone), right now it is just employees who have the book and mostly it would be employees who would be motivated enough to use it to reference the article. That seems like it would be

908:

I agree with AbsolutDan's sentiment that discussion of the return policy should be limited to those aspects which specifically contribute to knowledge about Office Depot, which is to say those portions that define the company, and those portions which have sparked significant controversy. For those

861:

This particular guideline refers to the situation in which someone wishes to add a product or service that X company offers somewhere in Knowledge. It indicates that products/services generally do not merit articles of their own and in such cases should be added to X company's article, versus having

828:

factor that they have to grapple with applies to all aspect of their articles, not just customer service. Office Depot has achieved a degree of notability that warrants its inclusion on Knowledge. Office Depot's customer service policies are discussed on Consumer watchdogs and Consumer affairs sites

735:

retailers especially in North America have such policies and inclusion of those policies in the Knowledge article serves to give them an importance or a distinctive aspect that they do not have. This is also, as I mentioned before, unfair for competitors that do not have Wiki entries because they're

611:

of the policies in how they relate to consumer watchdog and consumer affairs site, I think they are well within Knowledge's guidelines for "encylcopedic". This is unless, of course, they are advertising and "Spam". The burden of proof for the Spam tag is on you to show how stating policies that are

1870:

Here are some suggested edits for your consideration: - The company has combined annual sales of approximately $ 11 billion (not $ 14), and employs about 38,000 (not 66,000) associates with businesses in North America (we are no longer in 59 countries, we sold all of our international businesses).

1561:

I believe the "Remodeling to the M2 Format" information is valuable and merits a place on this page, but think that the current placement is improper. Rather than exist as part of the "history" section (and out of place chronologically, as it current stands), perhaps we can create a new header for

1375:

Added citation to 2008 Annual Report. Removed specific numerical references as actual numbers vary quarterly when stores open and close. Providing numbers would lead to inaccuracy of information on an ongoing basis. Also removed the distinction between those operating as joint ventures and those

2025:

I agree that the move was not necessary or helpful; I disagree, however, with the necessity of a separate article for the holding company. The ODP Corporation's activities beyond the operations of Office Depot are not sufficiently notable to warrant an article independent of that of Office Depot.

1112:

Okay there is this book that is out about Office Depot (It has an ISBN number and cataloged in the LoC and stuff) but I don't think you can buy it anywhere. It was given out to employees and it has a lot of useful historical stuff about the company's founding and the failed Staples merger etc. It

1045:

The numbers in this section are out of date; additionally, the data changes with some frequency. Relevant information can be found on Office Depot's Web site, however, the breakdown of stores/locations/license agreements/joint ventures per country is not provided. In the interest of keeping the

920:

I vote no on the return policy too. It is really kind of redundant because nearly every company has the same type of return policy. As previously mention it was also rather gawdy and ugly. I can see a case for the price match policy since it looks like office depot has a unique feature--the after

585:

All the links you give are essentially to individual complaints. The info that was on the Office Depot entry made absolutely no reference to these (and shouldn't as that info is inverifiable). It was just info taken off the company's website and in fairness to smaller retailers that do not have a

895:

As prior to Pascal's edits there was no mention of the issue with the return policy, the policy itself had no place in the article, and as such removal of the policy was proper. It should not be re-added unless it is needed to provide background information for the addition of the "return policy

869:

Considering this, the return policy of Office Depot is in itself not worthy of inclusion in Knowledge, especially as verbose as it was (taking up roughly ⅓ of the entire article). Every retailer has a return policy, and many nowadays do offer price-matching criteria. These policies are standard

479:

The Low Price Guarantee is a standard policy of Office Depot (as well as most electronic retailers) that affects consumers but yet might not be a point of information that they are entirely aware of. It is a part of Office Depot and relevant in how they operate. Do explain how this is "spam" in

1144:

Office Depot treats employees much like office products...they are merely consumable goods. Many employees work 40 or more hours per week, but are not labeled as "full time", therefore they receive no benefits of full time employees. Office Depot promotes "WorkLife" as one of its programs as a

748:

What is still present is your attempt to craft Wiki policy within this article versus going through the proper policy channels. While the merits of your personal view have a valid basis, these are still "Pascal's Policy" versus "Wiki-Policy". Your actions are rather unfair and arbitrary to the

838:

business merits their inclusion in the article. While rewording and refashioning of the sections can be made to improve their overall quality, the bottom line is that your massive deletes are unjustified. They are unjustified at least till you go through the proper Wiki-channels to change the

1185:

Although I feel it not neutral to bash Odland, I did agree with this point of poor employee relations. Therefore, I have added relevant content that has links to credited sources without attacking Steve Odland or any other individual. (although I do feel he is the button pusher with previous

1158:

I wish this wasn't true. Unfortunately... it is, and I work there. I am a regular editor of Knowledge (under my username, which I will not divulge here) and I am familiar enough with WP Policy to know that there's nothing I can add to the article properly sourced. Where would one get that

1862:

My name is Danny Jovic and I am a member of Office Depot's communications team. I've noticed that the Wiki page on Office Depot has not been updated for some time and has a lot of inaccurate information. I also realize that I cannot make the changes directly due to your conflict of interest

936:

I appreciate all the feedback and it looks like there is room for compromise. I can see the reasoning for excluding the return policy and would concede its exclusion. However there does seem to be room for the LPG policy to be included. Is this an avenue that would be agreeable to pursue?

707:

I understand your deletionist persuasion and I applaud your work on Knowledge. However, I do believe that significant edits, especially deletions, need to be better substantiated in order for them to be valid. I encourage you to better present the reasoning behind your 3 main contentions.

857:"Information on products and services should generally be included in the article on the company itself, unless the company is so large that this would make the article unwieldy. In that case, it is preferable to keep minor products in lists, and major products in their own article." 805:. It is fine to take exception with this point and it was an easy edit that could enhance the overall quality of the article. However, rather then take the mud off the wheels you capsized the whole wagon. You have not substantiated the need to remove the entire policy portions. 575:

If someone is interacting with Office Depot they will go to the Office Depot website not on Knowledge. Details of their customer policies are not of encyclopedic interest. For that matter I don't thing the recycling programs have much business being there either.

1288:

The terms stated that at the end of a quarter one would get their credit for recycling ink cartridges. It doesn't appear that OfficeDepot is paying out this credit however. Can anyone else confirm if they got their Q1 2009 credits for recycle cartridges?

1866:

I'd like to work within the Wiki guidelines in good faith and would like to request some changes that fall into the category of “patently false/incorrect” to ensure your readers are getting accurate information about our company when they visit the site.

664:

you referenced had similar external links (like to officedepot.com, homedepot.com, etc). The link that you deleted was in reference to the LPG Policy. What you have not established is how that policy (as well as the return policy) constitute as being

2123:– The company described by this article is primarily known as the office supply chain Office Depot. Other articles describing similar specialty retailers are titled in accordance with their primary trade names, and this article should follow suit. 518:-Now with only a cursory look at Google (admittedly I'm short on time to do a more exhaustive search), I found a number of complaints on Consumer Sites about service failures from Office Depot's return policy & low price guarantee like 2094:, not the ODP Corporation. Interested editors may wish to consider how best to present information about the ODP Corporation; whether it should be split to a standalone article, included briefly in this article, or excluded entirely. 947:

Sure, I could agree to an inclusion if it's kept reasonably brief, and focusing on its uniqueness. Plenty of stores have price-match policies - if the addition indicates how OD's is unique I think it would be ok. Just my $ 0.02.

1087:

I rephrased the first sentence, as I could find no solid evidence that OD is, in fact, the largest, and, if it's true, that should be connected to a citation. I also took out 'leading-edge', because I don't think that's NPOV.

686:. It is your contention that inclusion of those policies are not encyclopedic. In reply, I've referenced some of Knowledge's guidelines for notability in business related articles in particular the part where it is said 562:

2015:

I agree that the move did not make this article better, and also don't like the mess we have now. Your suggestion for a new article about the parent company makes full sense to me. Other or shared opinions?

1310:

I work in and OD store in Maryland and trust me customers are getting theirs credits. I have one customer who has 900 dollars on her reward card. She comes in almost every weekday with the 5 max cartridges.

757:- Stating a company's policy is not in the sales realms. It is a factual reference to a facet of a company's business model. Better examples of something sales oriented would be the "Slogan section" of your 726:

Interesting that you should quote that part of the guideline. I see very little in there that supports the inclusion of detailed consumer support policies. In fact you will not find this info on

who feel that the entirely of the return policy text would be useful as a reference, it seems like Wikisource (instead of the WP article space) would be a more suitable location. --

I've noticed some question regarding the Price Matching Policy at Office Depot. I am an employee of store 2127 (Two Notch Road; Columbia, South Carolina). Our policy is as follows

1097:

In fact, Staples has been consistently out-performing Office Depot over the last few quarters. I'm lacking source material for that other than internal communications, though.

Information on products and services should generally be included in the article on the company itself, unless the company is so large that this would make the article unwieldy.

This criterion includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, books, television documentaries, and published reports by consumer watchdog organizations.

284: 1484:

Revised "Private label brands" section to reflect current offering and removed references to specific products due to the frequency with which product assortments change.

1414:

Removed recent addition of "See Also" section containing a link to Restaurant Depot, as there is no relationship between the companies, and the link provided was bad.

As a follow-up, if we are going to list the price-match policy, listing the controversy surrounding it would probably be a good counter-balance for POV purposes --

1200: 785:

so it's natural and very relevant for service related facts to be included in an article about a retail establishment. In your opinion, would the article about

1906: 1854: 694:

be included, current Wiki guidelines do. If you wish to take issue with those particular Knowledge guidelines, this article is not the proper forum to do that.

This article has a serious problem of POV and spam-like content. I will start doing some of the cleanup. Please do not revert without discussing your edits.
