From Eddie's own blog: ESL was not informed in advance that Sears Canada intended to seek protection under a [bankruptcy] filing, and was extremely unhappy with that decision... — read more
Seriously
When are you considered the biggest looser? When you loose 1k 10k 100k or 15 billion?
Esl is all in on Sears after latest loans.
By the end of 2016, Lampert’s fund held a mere $653 million—a sizable decline of 94% from the $16.5 billion it once managed at Sears’ peak in 2007, according to securities filings.
I bet Eddie wishes the skull and bones could sit down this board.
Sorry the world is a bigger place little Eddie.
Sears officially the most active thread on this board
Everything's great nothing to see here.
New POS
Looks like the execs will be raining in on more kick backs for the over priced POS system they will put in stores before they close. Funny thing is execs are so out of touch they think the POS is causing delays between transactions. Truth is no one... — read more
A lot of posters here are short sellers
I made this point in another thread, it is worth repeating A lot of the people posting on this site are short sellers and people who have a direct interest in hurting employee morale - they want sears to fail - because they make money as the stock... — read more
Breaking my silence

Craftsman tools at Lowes
Stanley Black and Decker said this morning that they will be rolling out next years Craftsman Tools at Lowe's. I can't image anybody is going to Sears to buy China made tools when they can buy Craftsman American made tools from Lowe's. It is over.
Whirlpool shares down 9% in pre-market
They might need to come crawling back to sears.
Whirlpool now also refuses to provide Sears product, due to fear of bankruptcy. The end is within reach my minions
Whirlpool to stop supplying Sears with some products http://www.seekingalpha.com/news/3303301
Does anybody still truly believes that Sears will be okay?
Honest question. Does anybody truly believe Sears will not go under? I see a bunch of people coming on here defending E and saying how Sears will recover, and I can't figure out if those people are just being trolls for the fun of it or if they truly... — read more

Sears is having issues with it's mattress suppliers in the same vein as they are with Whirlpool: supplier doesn't trust Sears ability to pay. To get around this, a project has been implemented to outsource the production of a "Sears only" brand (NO... — read more
Customers are not helping the morale
Though I've had to tell people now and then all this year that no, so far our store is okay... Gets old. I'm sure they mean no harm, but they don't seem to consider that the understaffed and overworked employees don't need them putting additional... — read more

What are your predictions for 4th quarter 2017?
Or what are you noticing? Thoughts please, everyone from corporate to stores and everywhere in between, for both Sears and Kmart.
Home Services Restructuring
We just heard there is a restructuring going on in Home Services. Given the salaries of the Territory Teams and District Service Managers, I am surprised it took this long for it to happen. At my store, we can't get hold of anyone to help us with... — read more

Online Sales Blamed for Retail Collapse
Here's some facts the media will never tell you, because they want you to think the collapse of retail has nothing to do with the economy. Online sales make up about 9% of total retail sales. Amazon is only a fraction of that 9%. These numbers have... — read more

Well, They Sure Didn't Partner With Sears!

National Hiring Event.
How was your Sears National Hiring Event yesterday October 17th? We didn't have one single person come in to either inquire or apply in our Sears store.
Thanksgiving 2017
I am assuming we will be open since there has not been any mention that Sears will join the list of other retailers that will be closed on Thanksgiving Day:( I think it was more exciting to have Stores closed and just open early on Friday
How many more secret closings can they get away with?
For the last week or so it seems like there have been lots of closings without a corporate announcement. A Sears in Louisville, two Kmarts in metro Detroit, a Sears in Houston, a Sears in St. Cloud, a Kmart in Allentown and a Kmart in Omaha. That's 7... — read more
