Thread regarding Sears layoffs

There is no Go Forward plan that's any different than the previous go backward plan. No vision, no execution, no money. F Eddie and his horrific lack of retail talent.

One of the things I like about Craftsman is the guarantee. For that to be a benefit, you want to buy it from someone who will be around to warrant that guarantee. Same thing for Kenmore or electronics. Now if you buy from Sears, it is caveat emptor.

Again, diddly squat.....Sears has been losing customers for years.....The reason Sears od in the position it is in is due to customers choosing to shop elsewhere.

The going forward plan that is being proposed will mean nothing if customers do not walk through the doors in sufficient numbers and start buying again.

Otherwise, this going forward plan has no more value than a roll of toilet paper.

The generation of shoppers that showed complete loyalty to Sears has for the most part passed away from old age.

Sears will need to spend billions of dollars to reinvent itself, renovate tired worn out stores and bring in product assortments at prices that will attract customers back to the stores.

Right now, Sears has one foot on a banana peel, and the other foot in the grave.

“Sears has no customers!”

Actually Sears has tens of millions of customers. Documented fact.

“Well that doesn’t matter anyway because Sears is closing!”

Nope, there’s the Go Forward Plan, and the bid has been submitted backed by top financial institutions.

“Well they’re stupid and I know way more from my mom’s basement than they do!”

Riiiiight. LOL

Those "millions of SYW members" as you claim don't mean diddly squat.....otherwise Sears would not be teetering on the brink of collapse.

"We don't need more customers. We have all the customers we could possibly want," Sears CEO Eddie Lampert said on Wednesday at the company's annual shareholder meeting.

Wrong on all counts. Sears has millions of SYWR members; they’re loyal and valuable consumers.

You go to these so-called "profitable 500"- so they claimed after that cut of 40, and they did look dead. Now, they've got these supposed "healthy 400", but get real, the vendors aren't going to keep supplying them, they'll go soon too. When Eddie's done with this company it'll all be a distant memory, and he'll be that much richer. The best thing we can do is hope his "bid" is rejected, and a liquidator finally moves in to gut the whole dying fish, because it's been d--g out long enough, it's time to die!

"Have you gone to Sears lately?"

The only Sears stores that had decent foot traffic over the holidays were stores in liquidation.

Others looked like a ghost town.

Have u gone to sears lately? Every store was jammed at Xmas.
