Thread regarding Sears layoffs

The conversation about store conditions

Yes, many stores are older but they are getting renovated in the next coming months. Stores are getting leaky roofs repaired, better IT systems installed, better cooling and heating sytems. The exteriors are getting pressure washed, floors are getting waxed more often.

Have you seen some of the laminate wood flooring that some of the remodeled stores have gotten? Absolutely beautiful.

Clean and bright: This is something that will be on going rather than once a year. You will see your Q.M.T. more often along with contractors. More funding will be allocated to the janitorial services for more coverage during the day. This gives us a competitive advantage over other stores.

Presentation: Not going to be a problem anymore. We are teeming with new product and empty shelving space and pegs are a thing of the past. Our stores will be much more organized and easily shoppable by our member. There will be more frequent promotional ad sets on hot items to drive traffic.

There is more! Stay tuned!

run, run away from Sears as fast as you can. Spend your valuable time looking for a new position.

They barely have enough money to even keep the lights on or operate their stores. You think they have the means to remodel the stores?

You sure must have an awful lot of free time on your hands.

"You will see your Q.M.T. more often along with contractors." That is funny. I used to be a QMT. Two years ago myself and a lot of other QMT's jobs were eliminated. I was let go on a conference call with my boss and someone with HR in New Jersey. I know for a fact that a lot of other QMT's have quit and they were not replaced. As someone else (1gyq) posted they had us fix up stores right before they were sold.

No additional store remodels for Kmart on the horizon, the return on investment os not there, even the top 50... which is now 1/6th of the chain.

Clean and bright was a corprate plan that was largely unable to be executed because lack of resources. Lest we buy flooring new flooring, shelving, carts; iy doesnt work like that.

QMTs are taxed as it is, remeber they have to service the vacant Sears properties that fail to lease or sell. And considering the work thwy do, aurprised they arent sickly. Asbestos exposure up the a--, but that goes for everyone in store.

I'll believe it when I see it. Will we also be getting new, desirable merchandise, instead if the cheap knock-off crap and whatever comes from closing DCs and stores?

And lastly, will we get raises? Those have been deferred for years as well.

Sounds like to me that the store is being remodeled so it can be sold or leased out at a higher rental price!! I wonder if this might be one of the Seritage "owned" stores?!

@T8LJ9aX-teu - The only way this will stop is for the administrator of this BBS to force everyone to register an id to be able to post and then ban the ones making these ridiculous posts. Otherwise, there's nothing can be done.

: @T8LJ9aX-qxq You are lying again, your Scientology level corporate brainwashing is unacceptable here, The things you say put people's ability to provide for their family at risk because they WANT to believe you and may put off finding other employment. You need to stop doing this , you are participating in potentially damaging behavior. I am still here, and every time you post I will remind you of just how ridiculous your posts are and how they are intentionally damaging to individuals that are attempting to support their families. If you are a paid shill from corporate you owe SHLD employees the truth and dates when their employment will end, not false hope .

This thread looks like somebody recycled and reposted Eddie's operating plan from 10 years ago.....The company is bleeding money worse than ever....Where is the money coming from for these supposed remodels except from Eddie's own pocjet?

Thanks for the update!! So excited!! I knew there was a plan! Sears Holdings is a very smart company to right size the store base before upgrading the best of the best stores. So exciting to finally see Kmart and Sears powering ahead!
