Keep blaming Eddie or actually take some responsibility
You can keep blaming Eddie for the problems at Sears or take some responsibility for the situation. Not everything is Eddie's fault. You're unhappy you're working at Kmart?I suppose that's Eddie's fault as well is it? I suppose he decides what you... — read more
Making the most of the resources available versus taking no responsibility.
I've walked into Kmart's before where the merchandise is not tidy on the shelf and has things like candy wrappers etc all over the shelves. That is NOT Eddie's fault, that's the fault of the so called employees at that store. Some Kmart have great... — read more
Kmart clean
I see lots of employees complain that there isn't enough staff, if there were more sales and customers there'd be more staff. Kmart is running on lower staff in order to survive until sales pickup. Fewer customers means fewer staff and it means that... — read more
Kmart department by department

Kmart
If you choose to work for Kmart and then do nothing but hope for the company to fail or complain about the company then that says a lot about you and who you are. Kmart might have a lot of problems, but employees who are not loyal and don't do... — read more

Anyone busy today?
Just curious...
Why do you stay?
Former Sears employee here, left 19 years ago. I’m really curious as to why people are staying. I heard they no longer 401 K match or contribute to the pension. Seems like morale is low too. It’s begs the question why? What’s compelling you to stay?
Senior Discounts
Do you have senior discounts there at Sears? I am not sure who to ask, nobody is picking up the phone in Alpharetta, GA on N Point Circle.
