Thread regarding Sears layoffs

NO reason to operate such a large campus for such a small foot-print

Look for Sears to close down HE and move the headquarters to another location/state with lower taxes and cost of living expense(s) To cut costs Sears should move it's operation to smaller quarters in a building/location that they currently own.

Once the current store liquidations have been completed, Sears will no longer have a presence in Minnesota, Kansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, or South Dakota, NO reason to operate such a large campus for such a small foot-print

There is no reason

This makes sense. The OP is @XahagFC-qxi

@zqo I used to live in Harvard, where the large, former Motorola plant was built. It was used for several years. Get your facts straight. And remote workers DO work. A person's work ethic does not necessarily rely on having a supervisor looking over his/her shoulder. I do agree with you, however, that there is little market for office buildings the size of the Sears campus in HE.

What is far more likely is that they will downsize to fewer buildings. Maybe they will put up tarps or curtians to close off sections like they have done with former portrait studios or in super Kmart locations when they closed the grocery side and shrunk to a regular Kmart. This company can be so tacky. lol

With the size of the new company, they can probably cram everyone into a former Sears or Kmart store with room to spare. Bring your own bucket to catch the ceiling leaks.

".....why have an office at all everyone can

work remotely these days it's happening to some extent anyway?......"

Because those folks who are "working from home" aren't doing SH@T! Not that those at HE are either.

Fact of the matter is SHC owns the corporate headquarters and there is ZERO market for campuses of this size. Allstate, just down the road was literally bulldozed. AT&T has been vacant for over a decade. Motorola is being bulldozed and reconfigured, with an even LARGER Motorola campus built just north 10 years ago and never occupied.

SHC isn't going anywhere. They can't afford to. Why would they? The whole mess is about to be sold for sc-ap anyway.

Not sure they can sell the HE building. A lot of it is vacant now.

Seattle's very expensive. No way. Plus do they still have stores in WA? I know the ones closes to my family north of Seattle are all gone

Bet it's in Florida in the basement of a 7-11. That way Eddie saves ESL a bunch of money in rent and he doesn't have to skype his way into the HQ conference room (janitor's closet) from so far away.

Seattle has pretty strict standards. I doubt Sears would be welcome.

I would bet the smaller HQ will end up in Seattle.
