Our District Manager (C.A.) is coming to our store this week. Does he always do a beginning of the year visit? Should be interesting.

Sears laid off 600 employees yesterday. (1-27-2018)
Yesterday my store went from one store manager, five assistant store managers, and four leads, to one SM, one ASM and one lead. I have no idea how they think they're going to run this huge store with those few people.
Blue Crew
They have Great Technicians to service your appliances.
Job cuts
The jobs that were cut from full time to part time were they any commissioned jobs?
Friday has come and gone

Anyone know what is happening with HASLs? I noticed last Sunday that my schedule was wiped out and that my title was changed to HA Sales Development Lead. No one has said a thing about the change, I am off today and haven’t been asked to come in.

Has the CEO ever visited a Kmart or Sears?
Has Eddie ever done a visit to a store location? I know I would want to know first hand what was going on in my stores. Knowing him he has probably never set foot in either store sadly.
Store closings announced January 28th
Many stores including California. I'm being let go so I can talk finally.
