Thread regarding Sears layoffs

Neat new feature on Wiki

There's a neat new feature on Kmart's Wikipedia page. They (FINALLY) are listing an almost accurate store count on there. They have 44 stores listed. They are still counting NH & ND, but their closing is right around the corner so presumably will soon be removed from this list. The mistake I found is that they have 6 stores listed for NY. There are only 5 in actuality (Brooklyn is a Sears not a Kmart). Perhaps they are erroneously counting that one. The citation that Wikipedia has next to the NY count leads to a Kmart website page which still oddly lists Bath NY Kmart (which closed ages ago). So maybe they are erroneously counting that?

Not to humble brag, but I can't help feeling some pride in the fact that I came up with this idea in 2019, of a running count of remaining Kmart stores. Their website was giving vastly inaccurate count information, and I established, instituted, and to THIS DAY, maintain the master list, which has apparently been picked up by various news outlets, and now even Wikipedia. You're welcome, y'all!

Braggadocios soliloquy being over, here it is:

Not sure where you’ve been but this still inaccurate list was updated weeks ago.

Kmart doesn't own Sears anymore, haven't you heard? It declared bankruptcy, and both were bought by "TransformCo", owned by the soon to be bankrupt ESL and all of his holdings. Meet the new boss, same as the old dumb–s boss, turning Cash into ash as quickly as he can burn the Cs!

Wikipedia doesn't update pages anyone can update them. I could go on it now and update it to say Kmart is closing down today.

Sad that Wikipedia that does it for free is more accurate than what's put up by Kmart and Sears' own IT department. No accountability, which I guess has been how Fast Eddie managed to lose a 100 billion dollars, 90,000 stores, and his wife according to rumors.

As the list grows smaller with more closings, it will be even simpler to update.

If anyone is interested, here are the jobs currently listed for Kmarts. There are (as of when I'm posting this), 23 jobs available, but almost all are just Part-Time jobs:
