For all those in California and the other 6 states this applies to, our Store Manager said yesterday that the vacation payout will be on this Friday's check.

It's funny if you think about it

But the nonstop posting on this site about Sears vs. other companies is a result of Sears' stupid forced social media posting managers shove down associates' throats.

At my store it seemed for a while that the stress and anxiety were a little lesser among the workers and now people are talking about layoffs again. Is there any point staying at this company and going through the stress all over again?

Layoff

Restructuring next week. In a few days. Let’s post everything we know to keep us all in the loop. It’s looking like all store hourly associates will be part time.

Now when Sears acquisition is almost entirely digested, which takeover target for Eddie & Transform Holdco should take next? I would suggest JC Penney.

Sears IT department

Do they still have the huge contract with TCS, the Indian company that replaced much of in-house Sears IT some years back ? How is the mainframe elimination project coming along ?

On the website lawn mowers are unavailable even riding mowers. What’s the point to have them online if you can’t get them??? Is this an in store purchase kind of thing?

Buddy can you spare a dime?

Looks like Eddie is back to borrowing money to keep the lights on. https://www.wsj.com/amp/articles/hps-investment-partners-to-loan-new-sears-800-million-11556750812
