Look for a job now
Die hard batteries
I hear through the grapevine that both suppliers of diehard batteries have cut Sears off. CASH ON DELIVERY.
Start looking for new jobs now, people
There is now zero reason for waiting. Bankruptcy is imminent. And with bankruptcy there is no severance. Which means those left by then will have no job and no money to lean back on while searching for one. Not to mention that there will be a lot of... — read more
Here is a thought
Lambert stopped loaning money to Sears knowing there would be a cash crunch forcing the company to sell assets to him.

All about Eddie's plan
The primary obstacle in his plan... is that it does not take into account that the core business is failing. It requires selling off at least $1.5B of "encumbered" real-estate to pay creditors; commencing 1st with secured creditors. It mentions... — read more
OK, so Sears apparently cannot, and therefore will not, enter backruptcy. So what IS the end game?
So it looks like Eddie has to keep SHLD out of bankruptcy at all costs. But given that, what on earth is the real end game here? Per Bloomberg: "In Chapter 11, related-party transactions would expose Lampert to lengthy discovery processes and... — read more

Borrowing on inventory...AGAIN!
Sears borrowing money on inventory again , need all receipts off loaded and processed ASAP . DAY OFF CANCELLED , MUST WORK SATURDAY ! FROM THE FIELD.......

Is it true about the managers having to make payroll from actual cash disbursements from the cash office??
