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
Going to sit in mall and get paid by Sears
Home services lead generator, going to sit in mall and read on my kindle and let Sears pay me. I want to get fired and collect unemployment.
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

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.....

Not trying to be negative just honest about the situation

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
How will this affect Sears business with the other branded appliance makers?

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

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
