I was a full timer and I was dedicated and worked very hard before I got laid off. When the first signs appeared that they could ax me, I worked more and more, until I was exhausted. I thought I would end up with some serious medical illness from... — read more

Enough with that video

The poster seems determined to post the map of remaining stores but also attaches his video to it every time. So here's just the map. Just the useful info with no unnecessary self-promotion. If it's all about keeping people inform, then the... — read more

WESTWOOD KMART IN NJ

Sell your story?

How do you manage to work in total uncertainty?

Full-time employees let go today

It’s high time to leave

I have no intention of causing panic, but it is my well-meant advice to highly prioritize looking for a new job. Taught by my experience, it is terribly difficult to find an alternative. There are more candidates for one job than ever. I know a lot... — read more

Current Sears Employees

It’s been almost a year since I’ve worked at Sears and of course things were terrible. There was no accountability or transparency. It was just straight up lies telling you things would get better when they didn’t. Pebble was a joke and of course... — read more

Liquidating pharmacies

OK, probably a very stupid question, but I was genuinely curious. How do they liquidate pharmacies? After all, they can't just mark down Viagra or Penicillin 80% off and let anyone buy it. Do they just transfer the stuff to one of the few... — read more
