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.

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.
