what is the benefit to SHC to pay severence?

This commercial seems to illustrate how Eddie and his minions deal with issues concerning Sears. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1owcncKCHg

I suppose if Eddie could get away with it, the employees of sears and Kmart would start receiving their paychecks in shop your way points. I was told that you can use them for groceries at Kmart. Auto center can fix your car. Get tools at either... — read more

Thanks for the insight. You are so right. It seems so unnatural to receive anything from SHC. This morning at church I found out that I can deliver with meals on wheels as a volunteer 2 days a week. It's warm meals for elderly and my husband decided... — read more 

If Mr. Mnuchin becomes Treasury Secretary he could possibly do Eddie some favors at the expense of the Sears Pension Fund! YIKES! http://www.businessinsider.com/trumps-treasury-pick-mnuchin-and-sears-lampert-relationship-2017-1

I'm beginning to think Sears may have some salvage value and may survive as a much smaller entity, Kmart has long become the proverbial "sacrificial lamb" and is toast

Did all stores have layoffs today? How many were laid off at each store?

As Treasury Secretary Mnuchin is going to sit on a three-person panel that governs the PBGC. This doesnt look good for the pension in my opinion.

If you think that SHC cares about sales then you haven't been paying attention. They are just trying to hold on until whatever end game Eddie and the hedge fund have planned. There is no transformation, simple store is a way to keep the different... — read more
