I was let go Friday 3/4/2016 on my 38yr anniversary, 16 yrs as an auto mechanic and 22 yrs as a QMT. We were recently told we saved the company a 100 million in energy savings. I guess this is the reward they are talking about. We have not had a pay raise in over 6 yrs and our mileage was cut twice in less than a year. I have not had a raise in over 6yrs and stuck with Sears. I guess this is the thanks I get. I was told it was due to company cutbacks. I was a QMT. There are other QMT's that were also let go. I have also found out that there are cuts in the Sears and Kmart stores. People that have been there along time and stuck it out through thick and thin. 16 yrs as an auto mechanic and 22 yrs as a QMT. Sears and Kmart employee's are making minimum wage including the senior workers. New employee's walk out as fast as they walked in. I do not recommend anybody apply at Sears/Kmart. There is no future with this company. I will never set foot in one of their stores ever again and have advised all my relatives, friends and neighbors to do the same. All of the "benefits" we had to pay for out of our check.

Someone who accepts a position with Sears Holdings these days has to be desperate, stupid or both. I know people who work at headquarters in Hoffman Estates who have not had a raise in six years, no 401k match, pitiful bonuses (if any), a frozen pension plan and who have taken on increasing responsibilities as other positions in their departments are intentionally left unfilled after layoffs, retirements or resignations. Morale is at an all-time low. Those who stick around are primarily those nearing retirement, have retail-specific skills and do not want to relocate or are underperformers who cannot find other positions easily. Most high performers have headed for the exits by now, leaving behind the less competent. The end is very near.
