It made me a little optimistic, I do like Eddies presentation style, it is very non-BS. While some optimistic things were said I do question the truth of it all. What do you think?

I see posts on here saying that people who have left Sears are happier and make more money. I am wondering where you work and what you do. I'm not asking you to name your company. I am just interested in hearing about your job. If you are comfortable... — read more
