No one wants to work as CEO under Eddie Lampert
Six months on, and no one has stepped in to be the new CEO of Sears. What does it say that no one wants to be held accountable for this sh-- show, not even Eddie himself? Except for the creditors, most people seem to have forgotten Sears exists... — read more

Transform Co
Check segno and acknowledge your official tranfer from Sears to Transform Co. If no offer in Segno than Sayonara Mate. It's an "associate lease offer" .....slavery comes to mind....
We let ourselves become part of the scam
I would consider anyone who thinks that this act of “saving” Sears by Eddie is done for any other reason than his personal gain to be extremely naive. However, the workers that stayed at the company to this that were just pawns in this game(including... — read more
The same old story
One would think the company would try something different in it’s business, something that didn’t lead it into bankruptcy in the first place, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. If they are implementing any changes, I imagine they would have to be... — read more

https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/how-sears-lost-the-american-shopper/ar-BBUO2bk Alan Lacy: It became clear early on that Eddie’s focus was maximizing cash flow in order to buy back stock. And in that process, the culture changed. Some of the... — read more
My State Senator replied back re: Severances owed
If Eddie thinks he is going to get off Scot free from Severances owed, he isn't off the hook yet. We have skin in the game now. If you are owed money, then fill out a form to your state senator. Make that complaint!

How many sears stores has their store managers picture up?
I guess our store manager wants to blend in because his picture is not up by MPU! I think customers should know what the store manager looks like and the store manager should be PROUD to show his face but this guy won’t even take customer complaints... — read more
Store closures- anything announced or rumored?
What stores could be closing soon? Does anyone have any info or has anyone heard something in the next week or two? Is it just me, or have the store closures stopped recently, or have folks just got tired of talking about it.
Friends and family ~ will it be a winner
will it bring all those people away from their celebration of St. Patrick’s Day ?
When is Eddie going to realize his name alone is worth negative billions
Vendors won't do business with Sears and Kmart because we're associated with Eddie. He took one of the greatest brands of all time with the motto Satisfaction Guaranteed or Your Money Back and ran it into the darkest depths of hell. Thanks to him... — read more

If full timers are guaranteed 32 hours regardless why are their hours never ever cut
Why are the part time people’s hours always cut but never the full time people? Seems like the pain should be shared by everyone Why even have part time workers if you are only going to give the 1 3 hr shift per week If the cut the full time to the... — read more
Our store manager thought he could get away with blocking a fire EXIT route regardless of the dangers it wd present to employees and customers
Until the Fire Marshall paid a visit and told him he can’t do that and made him move all the curtain cabinets he placed across the exit hallway to keep wandering people from going into the vacant photography and dentist office.. Was the best day... — read more
Did all sears get rid of tables in kids
And now everything is hung on a rack? Very strange looking after seeing things on tables for so many years But still no customers... like a ghost town unless the customers all come out at night
A new milestone in case you missed it.
Recently on Consumer Affairs SEARS just went past the 6,000th negative review. This is just SEARS itself....this does not include negative reviews on specific areas like refrigerators or dishwashers etc. Way to go SEARS! On another note SEARS is also... — read more

Does anyone think of Sears as a place to build a career?
I know this question will come of stupid if not funny, but with it, I wanted to underline the fact that this new Sears is and will be a place that serious employees will be running from. So that basically means that the company will be depend on the... — read more
Does anyone know if we will get our bonuses this year?
I haven’t heard anything yet and we usually have them by now?
Sadly, this is most likely true
Face it. They are going to be depending on minimum wage, part-time employees to be key carriers and act as managers so they don't actually have to pay managers. They replaced ASMs with hourly supervisors, who are required to do the same amount of... — read more
I wonder who the employees in old Sears are who are insisting on suing Transform
Are they on this board? They refuse to go to arbitration and want their day in court. As we all know, working for Eddie and being sick of his b---s--- isn't exactly an unheard of phenomenon
Is corporate deliberately trying to kill off the stores?
Or is this just sheer incompetence? Serious question.
Any stores closings in the past week?
It seem that all being quiet makes me more nervous than when something’s going on. I always think the quiet is the calm before the storm. Has everything really been quiet in the past week or were there store closures and people just haven't posted... — read more
