Possible Exposure
An employee in my store tested positive and nothing is being done to clean our store. Sears doesn’t care about us. This is insane. I decided to go on leave. Our DM and HR are not doing anything about it. This was in the South East.

Eddie's real estate gamble
Eddie thought he was so smart leveraging all his money plus numerous other financial players to keep select KMart and Sears real estate. It seems mall real estate is tanking. Karma Eddie courtesy Covid-19.
Sears should throw in the towel now
they are truly finished
FLS limited hours
It appears that some FLS have limited hours due to COVID-19. Glad Eddie cares so much about his employees. He doesn’t seem that concerned about HTS. They have to remain open regulars hours. I thought Eddie cared about HTS, saving them from... — read more

Is April 7th THE date ?
I am getting conflicting reports from multiple sources and require elucidation. As a bona fide champion of retail's upper crust, my time is extremely constrained, so keep responses contrite yet accurate, while backing up with references.
So I am confused
So are the Store Closing for good on April 7th or is it just certain parts of the store until the virus is contained?
Wait a moment...
So both Sears and Kmarts getting shut down at April 7th, is this true?
Lots of staff were just put on leave
Tools and appliances are "essential," which means everyone else is non-essential. Non-essential employees were just put on leav at Sears. Don't care if you believe it, but lots of good people are on leave because of the coronovirus.
Question
So after carefully reading a few post are all Sears & Kmart Store closing permanently on April 7th or just the ones that were schedule to close in April 2020 and does this affect the NY Stores Penn Station and Lake Grove? Or is just a temporary... — read more

Is this a hoax?
We are temporarily closing?
Printed signs today and one said: "Your health and safety are important to us. Your Sears store is temporarily closed. We are ready to continue serving you online at Sears.com or the Sears App." No dates were given.
Next round
Will the next round be coming in April? With the last round pretty much wrapping up soon, liquidators should be available. Maybe Ed will use this downturn as cover to close some more? He has a built in excuse now, maybe he can knock off another... — read more

Essential Workers
We are being told at Kmart we are “essential” workers, because we have Pantry and HBA departments. Yet, they are not replenishing the stores with the “essentials”. They are giving conference calls about getting sales, not asking if we are taking ... — read more
