Why would you keep this man as CEO of Kmart and Sears when everything was falling apart.. It seems to me that he REALLY doesn't give a damn about the company, especially with the losses. He REALLY doesn't know what to do, this is NOT a leader, this... — read more 

Apparently there was a district wide email saying not to reorder the cardboard boxes we use for repacks / layaway. Anyone else get an email like this? There are about 6 stores in my district so I find it hard to believe we'd all be going under.

Closing stores..Sales bad but hearing some kmarts are getting remodels.Hba and soft home depts. Kind of odd....

Herd a rumor that Store Managers that don't carry safety blades are in store for lay offs! May be good news for store managers that struggle to walk around the sales floor.

Kmart is near the top of list of worst layoffs in 21st Century America with its 2003 cuts of 35,000 workers. Am I the only one who thinks that they are working towards their all time best these days?... — read more

Do you have more information about layoffs of assistant managers at Kmart for 2017. The way I see things, this position carries quite a bot of work - not sure how they can do without us.

There is talk on the Sears board that more Sears stores were annouced to close today (Thursday, 6/22)... Are any Kmarts on that list?

Mentioned today on a business insider blog..Target is showing interest in buying out the Kmart side of sears holdings..They are opening smaller stores like mini targets, one in California. Makes sense but is this another rumour....

Is it true that when pharmacies close the store will soon too. Two area Kmart pharmacies are closing. They say the stores aren't doing good in sales so is that the procedure...Close pharmacy then store later?

Several stores appear to be closing at the end of the day today. Wish everyone the best in their transition and hope it is realtively quick and you all land in more solid and stable opportunities in fairly short order.

Did anyone else have an unexpected visit from their DM ? This guy Jose is a joke. The hired some softline manager who left Target to come to KMart. I find that highly stupid to jump on this sinking ship.
