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.

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.

On some level it is unfair to try and justify a massive edit because one company's page includes different factual information about it.

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

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.

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.
