So this is what I was told at my Kmart but cashiers have been given a mandate to not ask for customers numbers or email address for their SYW rewards anymore. Of course if they ask if they can do it, we'll still honor it but it seems that they want... — read more 

I know Southeast & Northeast managers had the meeting today.....did the other regions have the meeting as well? So far, mum is the word from all those that attended. Hard to believe no one is talking even on an anonymous message board.

Next week the transformation will continue. Some will be caught off guard because they probably know the locations they service depend on them, however they are not needed through the liquidation and into BK. Game over. Size 10,000+ of the last hard... — read more 

Since Eddie Lamper took over the company he started cutting people and closing stores. Get it -he doesn't, know how to make profit as a retail person. He doesn't know how to work with people and worst he doesn't know how to work for people. As it is... — read more

I am wondering does everyone think SHOS will implode the same time SHC declares bankruptcy. Does anyone think that SHOS will survive a SHC Chapter 7 Bankrupty?

I seen and heard receiving lead positions are being eliminated. Any idea of what other positions are being eliminated ??

The death of a few retailers in the 1970s was no different. Grants pushed credit to the point of fake names buying merchandise. Suppliers became leery when they were paid slowly or not at all due to "lost" invoices. Corporate became top heavy with... — read more 

two years expire on land transfers from SHLD to SRG on 7/8. So is Monday the big day? Wash away the pensions, eliminate the debt, wipe out the common shares, close half the stores, and re-emerge as the "transformed" Sears?

They didn't call for a manager's meeting with only a couple of days notice to announce a Q&A. This could have been announced with an email or pebble. They just don't want the info out until tomorrow!

Any info out of the District Meetings yet?

Does Sears have any stores in venezuela? If not, I think it would be a perfect opportunity for Sears to turn things around. Sears could open a store in venezuela with empty shelves and isle after isle of totes and bottled water, and people will wait... — read more

How can we have a 1,200 piece truck full of junk ? They keep sending in clothes that either nobody wants or they just steal them. Each truck is full of totes. These cheap Polaroid TV's that came out of nowhere. So far we had 6 delivered to our store... — read more 

So the article that was posted on the motley fool apparently was seen by corporate as well. I saw an email from a district manager sharing the link to the article and screen shooting some of the pictures. In the email they wanted pictures of the... — read more 

I saw an email today that said all store managers are to attend a meeting on Thursday July 6th. Obviously there weren't many details in the email, but this sounds similar to what happened back in January a few days before the first wave of layoffs... — read more 

Just a fair warning to everyone. Look out for yourselves. Document everything. SHC is trying to say I worked a day I didn't work to get out of my getting paid for a week of unemployment. I was management level and didn't clock in and out, so my word... — read more 

The term simple store is a insult to whoever works at a Kmart store. There is nothing simple about it, you change a few processes here and there which really doesn't amount to much and then cut people and payroll that makes the original process much... — read more 

I find the sneaky way this was done most upsetting. Not to mention the lies about providing timely information to those affected by cuts about their severance pay. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/sears-employees-complaints-1.4190110

Store Manager overheard DM talking to someone about layoffs. Not sure what positions at this moment. I will keep updated. Any info?

if we as a company are not closing then why are we sending our good (not just old product, not 991 not vom) to the nearby stores that are closing. Looks like a quite way to liquidate without making it look bad to the public.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAV6r5LC410 Looks like you're for sale!

I keep hearing from multiple sources there are layoffs set for Friday? Any ideas of positions may be affected?

kmart gonna be spun off - sears gonna retain Kenmore / Diehard brands and become a REIT with remaining owned properties

Lets play the who looses their job on Thursday

My shifts have been so slow this weekend. This is not typical for a holiday. What are your stores like? I am thankful to get a few extra hours though.

I think rules like "the DM always fires in person" are gone with the wind since things have really gotten down to bare bones. Along with a lot of other rules. For example, we're not supposed to be open for business unless a salaried manager is... — read more 

Any idea what they are eliminating this week/ early next week at Kmart?? Assume ASM if you have any, maybe HR, Reset? Dm calling a meeting this week assuming it means more jobs lost usually does.

If sears and Kmart were already bankrupt before Eddie bought them for cheap, wouldn't that mean the company was already ruined? Why isnt there any hate for the previous owners. From my understanding the true downfall of sears and Kmart occurred when... — read more
