Why is Sears announcing "earnings" so abruptly?

There's no trace of a scheduled earnings announcement except for an Investopedia article. There's not even an announcement on their own site! That will surely piss off the stockholders they do have. Are they trying to hide from the media? Good luck... — read more

How often do you commission associates get asked to do other jobs that take you away from your department? The reason I'm asking is because I worked for sears in the HA department till early this year when I decided to quit because it wasn't really... — read more

Sears

Years ago, the company had a layoff / buyout situation in our department. If that wasn't bad enough, Hoffman HR brought in aspiring "future execs" to observe the reactions of those getting the bad news. I can only hope some of those Hitler Youth are... — read more

Maybe some good comes out of this

It's sad seeing this company fall off like it has. I used to work for the Cupertino, CA Sears store from July 2005 - January 2015 (I had to move to Pittsburgh, PA - wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy/hated person). The Cupertino store closed down in... — read more

Thumbs Up for SHC (workers that is)
