Is this one of the companies that has invested the least in employees? Unfortunately, that is true.
The results of such management and decision-making are now very visible. Worst of all, if it were possible to turn back time, I don’t think they would have done anything differently, because it seems to me that those at the top don’t recognize that this was one of the main reasons that brought Sears into this state.

They are investing alot in Sears Home Servces im being Told. Interested parties should take a look
I remember that in the 70s and 80s Sears did have a sort of "correspondence school" for employees. I took a couple of the automotive ones to prepare for a state mechanic's certification I needed to have. I know they covered other topics too but I can't find anything online about it.
As far as investing money in employees, this is an oldie but a goodie https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/23/business/economy/amazon-workers-sears-bankruptcy-filing.html
It’s minimum wage retail. Unless you aspire to go into management, why would you expect a company to invest in cashiers and table straighteners.
Sears home services still maintain a high standard of treating us like valuable human beings, we get quarterly incentives, raises and recognition. There is no better place to work right now than SHS.
Sears never cared for you.
WAKE UP!
OP is delusional
Special Ed lost $Billions$ on a REAL ESTATE investment. Consequently, the HUMAN Resources are a liability (not an asset)
Oh no, it's the retirees' fault! Just ask Eddie, after robbing them of their insurance, lump sum pensions, and passing the buck to the PBGC. He redeemed them for pennies on the dollar, and some died while waiting for him to make good, lacking funds because he paid himself billions. It was much worse in Canada.
You're just now figuring this out?
The only thing I object to in this post is the use of “they” and “those at the top”. It was one individual, and you’re right, he had/has zero respect for the employees. There was only one “leader” at SHC after the merger everyone else was treated like dirt under his feet (no matter what their position was). But you are correct, this brought Sears to its current state
Exactly. Ed L ruined it. It's over. Time to move on.
Eddie will go down as the worst CEO ever in American business. Even worse than Chainsaw Al.
What’s your point?
