Thread regarding Sears layoffs

Who thought this could ever happen to Sears?

The ship is sinking very fast. I have to be honest, for now it’s not bad milking the unemployment. It was much worse to try to work in horrible conditions and to think that they could tell you at any moment that the store was closing and that there was no room for you anymore.

I’m actively looking for a new job and I remembered what it looked like when I came to Sears a few years ago. Back then I would have never thought that a scenario like this could happen to this company.

Dude, this ship sank 20 Years ago. Sears and Kmart haven't been relevant since 9/11. Hardly anyone shops in stores now. The future is online. Amazon will hire you Tomorrow. Quit crying about the equivalent of fax machines or 8 track players being obsolete and move on to the new technology of 2021. Sears should have closed every B&M store 20 Years ago, and focused on online shopping. We're doing the equivalent of debating how to keep the ever Dying market for fax machines and typewriters alive. It's over, nobody is buying typewriters, and nobody is shopping at freaking Sears, in 2021, LMAO. Get over it and get with The Times. Time waits for no one.

Honestly there are many reasons people stay working at a sinking ship. I mean a lot of people have jobs in management that they would not qualify for elsewhere.

Why are you ripping this guy for working at Sears? Maybe that was the only job he could find at the time. You don't know, give him a break. On the hand, if he's only been there for a few years, Sears has been in serious decline for about a decade. I thought it was over for them about 5 years ago and I can't think of any retailer than has managed to stretch out its inevitable collapse for so long.

I know the OP there was a story about him in the local newspaper. He was in a coma after a 1986 car crash. He recently came out of it in 2017. He applied to Sears because last he remembered it was the number one retailer in the United States. Hes now complaining to anyone that will listen, telling them that he was tricked.

It’s just because of Eddie Lampert milking in the real estate cutting thousands of jobs.
