Thread regarding Sears layoffs

I remember the days when Sears gave 2 weeks salary for each year worked (FT) as well as other benefits long gone. Then they reduced it to 1 week for every year worked. Then they limited the severance to 1 week but had a limit of 26 weeks. Then it went to 20 weeks. Now it's 10. And now it isn't even called a severance. For most associates who are not long term, they'll be lucky to get just a couple of weeks now. I agree. It is foolish to waste energy sticking around for such minimal benefits when they are just trying to keep people from baling out until the end. If you need a job, have a family to support, etc., what are you waiting for? Find something now!
