Topics regarding layoffs at Sears

Next round?

So when will the next round likely be announced? In December, or maybe not til January, 2020? Might there be some This Week?

Will the results of the holiday sales paint a better picture of when the company is going to shut down for good?

I understand that we’re past the line where sales results during the holiday season can help the company survive, and to be honest, there is no reason to expect that they are going good in any way, but can we expect them to be an indication of how... — read more

Thank You to whoever posted this. REAL LEADERSHIP

This deserves it's own thread. Yet the rvps and dms continue to push this insanity. They’re not in the real world. Real leaders would step up and stop the madness. They are just followers. How do they even sleep at night with zero integrity, by... — read more

Why is Eddie starving Hometown Owners?

Eddie grabbed Hometown stores and put them back into the fold. Yet, he’s not allowing Hometown stores to price match anything .com. WHY? Price differences on same product can differ up to $400 on same item. Is he using Hometown as showrooms for his... — read more 

Everyone into the life boats

We're on a sinking ship. But yeah let's keep pretending we're not and all is fine. So keep gapfilling and blue dotting, its going to be ok.

We are in a free fall, people

The end is literally at hand. We cannot say no to a web order, but our inventory is so bad that we have to constantly substitute a "similar" item. Our store manager will be gone in a few days. People are quitting left and right, and I joined the... — read more 

Sears k--led kmart

K--ling off Kenmore

Time was, Sears was three quarters of the home durable goods market and companies like Whirlpool launched features on Kenmore before they did on their own wares. Sears was STILL the market leader right before Eddie took the reins as CEO. Eddie... — read more

This company is a joke!

Even after bankruptcy, it’s the same old song and dance. Nothing has changed for the better. So much for the 450 go forward stores. Yea right! The company is in no position to compete. No inventory, just a bunch of garbage private labels and customer... — read more

HISTORY- WHAT WAS LOST

It’s unimaginable but true- less than 30 years ago, Sears and Kmart were the top 2 national retailers, each more than double the volume of Walmart and Target, both of whom did not have a fully national store base at that time. That’s how far ahead... — read more
