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!

LAYOFF 7/5
If these “layoffs” of all leads are coming how come there are stores that opened requisitions on the internal gateway (careers website) today? Why would HR put openings up if they are going to be cut in basically 2 days.. When the last IBO happened... — read more
I have to admit that whoever came up with the iPad idea was actually on to something
Unfortunately the execution was absolutely horrible and it was ahead of its time. I’ve made posts before explaining exactly why iPads weren’t compatible with sears. In a nutshell it’s due to the fact that the core systems sears’ infrastructure is... — read more
Just in, leads and coordinators will be eliminated. More store-level AP layoffs as well. Decision to leave some open positions unfilled.
This is what will make up the store layoffs everyone is asking or talking about. Also, you will start seeing something like a hiring freeze, not a widespread freeze for every store (yet) but at the discretion of the DM after... — read more

DM MIA during holiday week.
How do they “guarantee “ 40 hours for full timers?
I thought that was suppose to change back at that defunct 2/11/18 meeting Thought full timers were going to 30-32 hours and no more

Loss Prevention
Ross LP certainly seems to be more effective than Sears. Ross stores have only one entrance area per store (unless they have some locations in malls; all the ones I've seen are in strip shopping centers), and an LP person in a boldly-labeled jacket... — read more
