I would like to just walk out the door at Sears, but I can't. I get so tired of customer asking me to check them out. I work in the FJ Dept, the customer complain because the lines are long in Seps, and they only have 1 cashier checking out. I am in... — read more
This is bizarre....
Company policy has traditionally allowed for a commissioned sales associate to receive commission for their sale if they are absent, have the day off, etc. Management would ring the sale for that associate. I was told by our store manager that if a... — read more

wow - the potential of the craftsmen sale for $2 billion potentially, caused a huge spike in the stock price
then the amateur traders who bought on that news slowly realised a few things 1.) shc probably leaked the news on the craftsmen sale thinking it would alleviate supplier anxiety in the run up to christmas 2.) any proceeds would actually go to reduce... — read more
"Sears must abide by lease restrictions" a judge ruled
Eddie was just told that he can not sublease space to D--k's in the Palm Garden mall. Sears wants to decrease their retail space and lease it to other stores like D--k's Sporting Goods, Primark, and Lands End. However, just like you can not sublet... — read more

Is The Store Signage Available For Free Haul Away?
I was wondering if the signage is going to be available to laid-off employees on a first come first basis? My store was built in 1966 and there are some cool signs and/letters that I would like to salvage. Like on American Pickers where they find old... — read more

How much Would Shop Your Way (SYWR) fetch if SHC sold it?
Here is what I am wondering. If SHC can turn SYWR into a program like the Amex Plenti points where you can redeem points at places other than Kmart/SHOS/Sears FLS. How much would it fetch dollar wise on the open market?

Sears Holdings Is The Walking Dead
Nothing Sears has done over the last 10 years has turned the company around. Selling its Craftsman, Kenmore or DieHard brands will only extend the pain. Prior asset sales have done nothing to improve revenue since 2012. Fitch gives it a year or two... — read more
