A penny for erectile dysfunction (ed) edward lambert, too. Mr. limp sold us all out and couldn't perform. There will be no bang when it's over. It already is.
Sears credit....and now conference calls. That's all management does all day!!!

Locked out of everything, today was my last day
Yesterday, I get an unexpected phone call from the market leader (district manager) asking if I could stay in my role of the store ASM until the middle of July. As I am starting a new position, I obviously could not, despite the fact that the store... — read more

Upper Management
What are the upper management thinking staying on the sinking ship? Leena Munjal seems to be the face of upper management, although why would such a successful young executive stay at a dying company? Nothing makes sense.
I've had enough, too

it is getting so hard to do anything... I hope it just dies
you can't have departments with no people
I thought it would hurt so much to quit caring, to let it go...
but now it is natural to say 'that is not my department' and to say 'I can only do what I can do' Damn eddie lambert for taking our jobs away from us. damn him! it was greed, not stupidity. It was planned.
How are other stores handling the lack of staffing?
How bad is it out there for the rest of the Sears stores in regards to lacking the time and staff to complete everything that needs to be done and provide adequate customer service? My store is down to a skeleton staff, the only areas that are... — read more

KCD (Kenmore, Craftsman, DieHard) might be the next (and last) major asset left to sell, and they're considering it.
The board of directors are already talking about licensing or selling off Kenmore, Craftsman and DieHard. KCD has to be the only significant asset left over, and letting other retailers in on KCD (or selling it off completely) will be the straw that... — read more
