They have posted final checks in states that require pay at time of layoff. Be in the know for tomorrow. I'm finally free.

ZMAP called me to make sure my APA will be here tomorrow because he's being let go. She's then traveling to at least 1 other store to let their APM and APA both go.

From @RoAoOC9 -- "At my current store there are 4 ASM positions. Being told that they will be eliminating 2 of those. HI and BC will combine and OPs will be gone. Backroom will also be eliminated in my store. These changes are insane." How is that... — read more 

When I was let go in 2016, there were rumors after the managers meeting, that some lead positions would be eliminated. I thought that I would be one of them. The way I found out was by checking the online schedule. I previously had a schedule,and... — read more

When you have a gm meeting that everyone knows positions are being eliminated don't wait three days after to get your packages together and to let the associates know. How about you have the f---ing packages ready for a half day gm meeting and then... — read more

For stores that still have the Shoes Lead and Fine Jewelry Lead what has been the trend with those positions. We are seeing that in other areas they will be changed to coordinators but what is the difference from being a lead? Also if they do not... — read more 

Struggle to understand the private refinancing operation announced yesterday. Why are not all ESL loans getting PIK interest, while would SHLD give the option of an 30% Equity stake to the 6.5/8 bond holders to extend 300 Mio for a year? Does SHLD... — read more 

The remodels are supposed to be announced over the next 60 days, please post here if you’re on the list for the remod!

Any word on hybrid stores?

There is no straight blue print for the changes coming. All of the job changes and cuts are based upon the stores volume. My store is losing a Hardlines ASM but gaining a softlines ASM. Makes sense with the balance of sales. One universal change does... — read more 

This is crazy, there’s a lot of stuff being said and some of it may very well be true however there is nothing actually confirmed everything will be officially released on Friday so until then let’s just wait and see . Some of these changes are good... — read more 

S&P last week, Fitch this week. https://www.chainstoreage.com/finance-0/sears-downgraded-fitch-ratings/ Still thing its gonna be alright?

I don't know who started the commission increase rumors, but they are totally FALSE. What's worse, all ASMs are indeed getting cut. This is across the board. Same with Ops. The false rumors may be believable for awhile, but come Feb. it will all be... — read more 

Are APMs also on the Friday chopping block?

Sears is done. All ASMs will be gone by Feb. Commission sales are gone. FWIW, I am a DM.

Sat here all day watching this board, and it appears there was nothing much to announce.

Keep reading huge layoffs on one hand, "commission changes" on the other. Then I am reading that whatever district is facing a bloodbath while another district or region was left untouched. What is really going on???

Every day talking heads on TV tell us that everything is AWESOME! And the economy is BOOMING! And most people desperately want to believe this, despite what they see in front of their own eyes. Some people can watch their friends, colleagues... — read more 

I doubt it was mentioned, but I gotta ask anyhow. Will those in positions that are being eliminated be able to transfer to other positions within the same (or even a different) Sears store? I know this will most likely come with a pay downgrade, but... — read more

Just want to know if any layoffs were mentioned during the meeting? The rest is less important at this moment, but that is the burning question. At least for me.

Post your updates here today as info comes in.

I would be really grateful if somebody could post info from the meeting here. A lot of us have been stressing over what will finally be communicated there, and I'm not sure how much our own managers will want to or be able to tell us. Any info would... — read more 

I just confirmed that a Meeting for all Store Managers is happening today and then there will be a mandatory meeting of managers within the store to follow (ASMS and Leads). All I know so far.

Just curious if anyone is using the icon yet in their sears store? Is it for employees or just management

It's been confirmed.
