Topics regarding layoffs at Sears

I feel like we are underperforming

Just read that Sears Holdings is thirteenth most hated company in America. I'm really shocked that we landed that low on the list, would have thought we'd at least make the top five. Customers hate Sears, employees hate Sears... Is there anybody who... — read more

Next week is March 2, 2018

That's the date several have predicted on here that there is something big in the works. Anybody ready to reveal what it will be? Or were you full of s**t?

Freebie Saturday

What ever happened to freebie Saturday. My store stopped doing it awhile ago. It was part of the making shopping fun again program along with the shirts and bluelight special.

SHC did not make a profit

This was posted by @RK8gkMr-2owy. Thought it belonged to the front for all the kids in the back who don't understand how tax breaks work with companies as broke as SHC. SHC did not make a profit!!! What they got was a non-cash tax break from the... — read more

Number of Sears and Kmart stores left

I did a Google search and as of Q3 2017, there are 594 Sears stores and 510 Kmart stores remaining. Are these numbers fairly close or have they gone down substantially more, recently?

Pls remember there is a layoff coming Apr '18

I know you can get complacent and forget a few days after a layoff if you were not layedoff. I think so around 150 from HE April '18. Heard this is going to be a quarterly exercise. Just a reminder.

What about ‘BOB’?

I remember when Bob was a hurricane. I remember when Bob was a bridge- that you could bob for apples (they had a bridge party), I miss my palindrome friend bob. As for what you call ‘bob’... after further analysis, he shouldn’t exist.

The Little Engine That Could

Sears reminds me of this story. You guys just need to keep saying “I think I can, I think I can....” and you will succeed! Henry Ford once said “whether you think you can or you think you can’t you’re right !” All I see on here is a whole lot of... — read more

I wonder if Sears Holdings is now on the cusp of becoming a real retailer once again now that the chain has been downsized. First stabilization then growth? Go into Kmart and there are real products, real promotions, real zeal. It seems that Kmart is... — read more

Fewer Kmarts and harder to find

Did anyone consider that the rarity of Kmarts actually helps profitability. If for example a market had 3 Kmarts and now has one, that one remaining can become exponentially more profitable by gaining just a portion of the sales from loyal Kmarters... — read more

Kmart is still a big chain

Not as big as it was before certainly, over 2000 stores at peak, but 400 stores is still a very large chain. Don't write them off just yet. 400 stores will be easier to turn around than 800.
