Topics regarding layoffs at Sears

More than just layoffs

I worked at Hoffman for a year and was part of the layoffs at the beginning of the year. It's come to my attention that there are more than just layoffs happening at SHC, especially corporate at Hoffman. There are a lot of upper management shifts... — read more 

XMAS shipments

Should I be worried that my store hasn't seen anything for Christmas yet? No trees, no decor, no winter stuff. Shouldn't we have it by now?

Let's try and put this on the table

Everyone is aware of this site from corporate to DM to AP to SM to ASM and store level employees. We are somewhat aware of the situation at hand. Only person that know the true motive is Eddie himself. We can speculate , make our judgment and... — read more 

Humm, We were told Not to be negative

At a morning huddle we were told not to complain or be negative, or we would be gone quickly. This is great for morale, (sarcasm) . Truthfully I thought this was totally unprofessional. And so did many of my peers. Management does not want to hear... — read more 

Credit Card Payments

I left sears after working in the appliance department for 27 years and wonder if morons still come bustling into the store to hover about you to make a payment as you try to make a sale. We used to go to elaborate lengths to avoid these nuisances.

people from upper managment and corprate posting

you can tell the posts are coming mostly from the upper management ... almost zero posts on here during the weekends when the average person is still working the weekends, and nights

One reason why fake layoff dates appear on this site

Once or twice I have done it on this site, posted fake upcoming layoff dates, nothing I'm proud of. When I did it I did it to stir the pot to get feedback from those on this forum to see if layoff rumors I was hearing were true. I was worried about... — read more 

As Usual, Sears Screwed it Up

The Alexa-enabled AC is available on Amazon. They added it to an existing listing for Kenmore AC units that has been up for a while, so there are existing reviews. Average review? 3.something stars including numerous reviews about how the remote app... — read more

Sears.com Marketplace

I don't know why people don't take Sears seriously? Their dotcom is fantastic. Tweezers for $9999.00 (at least they aren't trying to squeeze the last $0.99 out of you!) Complete with 1% back in SWY points.... how could you go wrong?... — read more

Mop Job

I swear to god having a mop job at a peep show would be better than working at this company.

Sears might survive, unlike its employees

Amazon means a much broader net of potential customers, especially young customers who would normally never touch a Sears store, online or brick and mortar. This translates to more money being made for Sears. It also means more stores closing, which... — read more 

Under 40.....

If it wasn't for the fact I work at Kmart I would never go in there. Tvs can get them cheaper at other places. Playstation or Xbox non existent. Clothing is so outdated wont catch me in none of that. Never bought any shoes out of there. What real... — read more 

Credit Cards vs Sales

Most Kmart stores are down 10-20% everyday but you never get a phone call or email or conf call but god forbid if you dont get a credit card app. Its like the end of the world. Who the hell wants a credit card that give you points that you can only... — read more

What's up with Sears.com/Kmart.com order packaging?

Ordered a bunch of different things recently. Boxes arrived beat up, poorly taped and were much bigger than they needed to be. I received four bath towels and three pairs of running shoes in a box for a gas BBQ grill, and two 50-foot garden hoses and... — read more

Stock jump makes no sense

I fail to see the logic in this. Sears' stock jumped after the announcement it would be selling some Kenmore brand appliances on Amazon. How will this improve our standing? The only thing I can see happening is selling fewer appliances because people... — read more

SYWR Account closed, any ideas?

Make Sears Great Again

I noticed that the store manager that wrote all of those great articles on LinkedIn is no longer with the company. I guess he even had enough and couldn't make Sears Great Again.

Is this normal?

This post is for those serious former or current employees, and definitely not for bashing others, I have been a SHC employee off and on for 15 years, my most recent stint ended about a week ago, and as much as the company is in turmoil and broken, I... — read more
