My hours were cut.

Surprise, right? Since this is just supplemental retirement income and something to do, it's okay. But the ones counting on Sears can't say that. And Eddie should be ashamed.

Questions I think we should all be asking.

We are looking through this paperwork handed to me on Feb 23rd. There is some deliberately conflicting language in there and it needs serious attention from everyone effected. The questions this paperwork brings up in my mind are the following... One... — read more

What are we selling? Marketing get with the program!!

I saw a commercial today for Sears, it says something about home products for home owners, well given that 60% of people rent or lease, I would say they are only channeling 40% of the population. As for Kmart, you need to capture the younger... — read more

If everyone gives 120 percent we can pull thru this. If we had this doom and gloom outlook in 1942 we would have lost the war!

I may just be a rank and file employee, but I have a lot invested in sears. Sears has been good to me and my family and it hurts us how people have lost faith in a great American institution. My kids love sears, and they work there now. I have even... — read more

My views on Sears, as a former laid off employee

After about a decade at Sears, from being in the trenches at the store to meeting with VPs, I think I have a pretty good idea of Sears and its downfalls. First and foremost Eddie cannot lose, short of going to jail. He has money and control, and will... — read more

If You Can Walk You Can Run

What Was Supposed to Be The Point Of Today?

Seriously? I awoke at 8 A.M. CT for my 9 A.M. shift. Not caring, I hit snooze. Later, I checked SHLD news and there wasn't anything about earnings which is what I figured. I checked here to see if anything was going on. Not much. I wandered into Auto... — read more
