Good read
I read some of the filings. CFO stated the cash burn is only $125 million per month. That's what happens when you drink the cool-aid and forget that (intentionally) cash flow factors in new loans each quarter in his own financials! New debt does not... — read more
Severance Pay
So are associates that are effected now and going forward just out of luck for severance pay due to bankruptcy?
What are you still doing at Sears?
Seriously people, even the biggest of optimists know by know that it's over - done done done! I can understand people staying before hoping for severance but that's gone! No more severance! No more anything here! Just pack your bag and move on. Don't... — read more
Seasonal hiring
Is Sears still going to hire people for the holiday season in the remaining stores? It seams that the only reason a number of stores are remaining open is to grab as much money out of shoppers for Thanksgiving and Christmas, in which case I'd assume... — read more
What about people outside of stores?
How are people outside of stores being affected by this? I know what will happen if Chapter 7 is announced, but what about now? I haven't seen any layoffs mentioned as of yet. Isn't that one more way to immediately save money in addition to closing... — read more
Peddling False Hope
Still people posting nonsensical stuff about how this isn't the end. These people are peddling false hope and whoever listens to them will only harm themselves, for they will not make the changes and do what's necessary to take care of themselves... — read more
The first steps that turned things in the wrong direction
Sears got it wrong when Alan Lacy sold off the very profitable Sears credit dept and outsourced it to a 3rd party. That allowed Eddie Lampert to buy the company and that started the dominoes to fall. Alan Lacy also over paid for Land's End and then... — read more
How much has the hedge fund CEO has paid himself from Sears assets?
Hedge fund owner self appointed CEO of Sears has made billions while bringing the company down.
Sears is nothing but a freaking joke and has been for a long time!
As a former long term manager who was smart enough to leave before the wheels came off I have to be honest, Sears has been a sh-- show for years! Eddie or Leena or Eric Stecko or whoever were so completely incompetent in every way possible! I blame... — read more
Evidence of SHOCKING Failure of SYWR

Sears has proposed having its Chapter 11 reorganization plan filed by late December and confirmed in March 2019. One critical date is Nov. 15, when it plans to make a decision about its so-called "bubble stores" that are being reviewed to see if the... — read more
Shafted Out Of My SYWR Points
ZERO balance when I checked today. Yesterday I had about $3. It's what I suspected and expected. NOTE: I left the company three years ago, but still would buy things once in a while to support my friends who remain.
Mega Millions and Powerball lotteries now have $1 billion combined jackpot
Maybe Sears should start buying up tickets?
I’m done
Upon the earth we dance not long, but when we rest remains our song.
Cheerleaders Gone Quiet
Apparently, seeing your store on the closing list and the sudden realization that you won't be able to make your mortgage/rent payment in a month from now has a dampening effect on enthusiasm for Sears' survival. Funny thing is reality, especially... — read more

Madawaska Maine Kmart
Why are they closing this store? It's a town of 4000 people with the nearest Walmart an hour away and no other discount/department stores! This store should be the ideal place for Kmart to make huge profits. They never stock it good, maybe if they... — read more
The Bottom Line
Sears has until December 15th to find a buyer or they will be forced to liquidate. Now obviously, if there was a buyer to be found they would've shown up by now, and with Eddie having sold off all the valuable assets, leaving behind an empty... — read more
Did Seritage kill the company?
And will the judge see through the increased rents and force them to close?
Warranty Company Also Part of BK
Sears Protection Company is also named as a debtor in the BK... so if SHC converts to chapter 7 are all PAs null and void?
Drain the swamp :-)
"The cases are pending before the Honorable Robert D. Drain, and the Company has requested joint administration of the cases under Case No. 18-23538." :-)
To those who worked today @ Sears
What was it like? Did you still have to push credit?
Looks Like A Sh*t Show

Is this a layoff site?
When did this become a "regurgitate the news" site? I can got to finance.yahoo.com to read sears getting trashed. Most of you need to go to ihatesears.com. Make this a layoff site and kill everything else.
Equipment Warranties at Sears
Cannot ask anywhere else - maybe you can help here. Do you know what happens with warranties after the bankruptcy?
2 sears locations closing are also in Seritage Growths portfolio
The sears in michigan closing are Lincoln Park and Briarwood Both are listed with Eddies Seritage Growth company What’s up with that?
SHLD stock is at 31 cents
...as of 1:15 pm. Who the heck is still trading that garbage? It's going to get de-listed any day now, and will be wiped out as part of the bankruptcy proceedings.
"We're Open to Serve You"
Heh. Both Sears' & KMart's websites have a big banner on top that reads "We're Open to Serve You." Pleading with customers to not write them off as dead.
