I feel like I'm in a bad movie

You know the ones I'm talking about? Where the ending is so obvious but it keeps getting prolonged by repetitive suspenseful scenes, like that will up the ante somehow. Only after a while, those scenes become anything but suspenseful. So what are the... — read more

ESL is contesting

Judge will take it under advisement. No liqudation yet, sorry haters.

Home Services may be "salvaged"?

Just read the CNBC article saying home services "may be salvaged". Anyone know what that might mean for techs if liquidation is decided today? Think we'll keep working as the stores are liquidated?

Who or what will Eddie blame next?

We all know Eddie cannot take responsibility for his failings. It's always someone elses fault. I wonder where he will be pointing his blame finger at next? I don't think he can publicly blame the Judge until all this is over because he would be... — read more

Does this mean no severance?

Does liquidation mean that those of us who stayed (and will stay) here to the bitter end will get no severance?

Can we take a moment

And just note what a spectacularly bad job Eddie an team has done in managing the brand and image of Sears, its companies, and its brands since the start of Chapter 11? It's hard to imagine a team that could have done a worse job. Between the... — read more

It's all Done

Hearing from inside sources that it's all done tomorrow. While I'm upset that so many people will be losing their jobs. It's bitter sweet to see the arrogant upper management including district management loose their jobs

Liquidation has been inevitable for a while
