I noticed today new Holiday Blowout sale signs have been put up in headlines! Nothing like knowing which sale you are in Guess the Holiday Blast was a dud

I'm seeing nothing in their inventory online? The selection is bad enough compared to a bestbuy but when I filter down to the store level, there's nothing at most stores around me.

We are down to two zone supervisors (hardlines and softlines), a backroom lead and the store manager. The only fultime positions in our store that are non-management are two positions in appliances and one position in hardware. Softlines no longer... — read more

Too much bureaucracy. Too much red tape. Zero efficiency. Redundant or unnecessary business processes. Failed projects and initiatives. Lack of accountability. Too much dead weight. The only difference between the two is that Sears sustains itself by... — read more 

If you're FT and you're not a Zone Supervisor or Commissioned Sales Associate, you better voluntarily step down to PT before Christmas. All other FT are being let going after the holidays as a cost cutting measure.
