Unfortunately associate severance was promised and then stopped on several layoff rounds. This guy is a liar and a cheat. He is using you by promising things that he has no intention on delivering to you. I would not expect any mercy from this dude... — read more

He will turn this Titanic around and help all the brothers and sistershe left behind! He will realize his unjust ways!

Logistically, it takes 2-3 well seasoned associates to keep a store going. You people that have done every single job that there is to do in the store. It took you 20 years to get you where you are now. Face the fact that you are going to be cheated... — read more

If you are upset how Eddie has treated employees and ex employees make sure you apply the members points on every purchase. Eddie accepted responsibility for all outstanding points when he bought the company so now when you use them he pays :)

For those laid off after bankruptcy. Saw news articles about this. Thought it would be discussed in here.

Our stores floor tile is falling apart everywhere and full of asbestos! This is ridiculous! About to find a new job!!!

Why doesn’t Eddie or the 3 CEO’s realize this program is a drain on store profits? They all have sight of the Profit and Loss statements and it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see this program is greatly hurting us. It has been in affect for years... — read more 

Looks like for a lot of product lines vendors would rather sell under their own brands than under the Kenmore name. Small appliance makers are obviously still avoiding Sears like the plague. Sears seems to be getting out of the business of tractors... — read more

Kind of strange, but after my store shrunk down in space we’re doing a lot worse than we used to do, even though, we’re reasonably stocked and the people are not working in such a horrible atmosphere anymore. It seems that the few customers that we... — read more

the new Home & Life locations are just a fraction of that size — at roughly 12,500 square feet — and are going to meet consumers where they're spending the most time, likely not in enclosed shopping malls.

Did anyone else have their Paycheck seriously shortchanged this pay period? I am CSA and my commissions and P3 bonus did not show. This is the 1st pay period with Holdco. What's up?

Saw that people are closing that layoffs are happening at stores, just not in big portions. Could this be a strategy to thin the headcount without causing so much panic as announces closure of a certain store would cause?

I’m a full time associate why is my Benefits center (88SEARS) saying my benefits will end and I have to sign up for COBRA?? Does that mean my status is going to change soon. I ain’t the only one in the store.

Since they do not have a page on this site, I'd like to start a thread. Please report Transform Holdco layoffs here and specify: number of people laid off locations of affected resources positions and length of tenure severance paid placement aid... — read more

I’m not really up to date with this info, so I guess that’s why I’m popping this question here? I doubt that a week can go by without a closure, do maybe it would be better jus to ask what was the location of closing stores?

Questions of not getting paid this week. Trouble with payroll in New company. TRUTH?

There is a handwritten sign at the entrance, that they are looking for people to remodel the store. There are also lots of "now hiring" signs taped to the wall. While I think it's a good sign that the dingy store will be remodeled, shouldn't it be... — read more 

Never will there be a Phoenix rising from Transform Holdco retail. The bosses collect their 30 pieces of silver for doing Eddie's bidding. Protected short term, and then eventually rejected when they are not needed anymore. Disappearing one by one.
