Hey Eddie

I know you and your goons look at this sight. Thanks for removing all the AP positions! Plus I know that most of the ceiling covers don't have cameras. My Ebay business has never been better!

Air Conditioners- Sold out?

The end is closer than you think

More than just leads getting axed tomorrow. The few people left will be doing the jobs of 6 people instead of 3, like they are now. Read your final paperwork VERY carefully before you sign. The final phase starts tomorrow.

Holiday buys?

For those of you in HE, have you placed your confirmed holiday buys yet? Should have been done months ago, but with all the turmoil wonder if they're late or have been placed at all yet.

Why are you still there?

To the people still working at Sears and Kmart, why in the world are you still there? Why aren’t you making the leap into a better company?

LAYOFF 7/5
