re: I will never set foot in one of their stores ever again and have advised all my relatives, friends and neighbors to do the same.
There are so many regular customers we never see anymore. Some I see at the local grocery store and they tell me they won't be back in our store. And they are sad for the way our long term good employees are turned out after making the store what it... — read more

Sears/Kmart is not laying off workers. They are eliminating jobs and letting workers go.
These are not Layoffs. They are eliminating jobs. I was let go Friday 3/4/2016 on my 38yr anniversary, 16 yrs as an auto mechanic and 22 yrs as a QMT. We were recently told we saved the company a 100 million in energy savings. I guess this is the... — read more
More Layoffs?
After the layoffs of February 2016, there's a rumor going around the ranks that apparently it was not enough and more people need to be let go in March 2016. Has anybody else heard of this?
Bankruptcy
I saw somewhere on here that sears was going to file bankruptcy this month. Is there any truth to that? If so when can it be expected and what does it mean for the stores that are still open.

SHLD is trying to get an incremental term loan to the tune of $750 million dollars. Moody's, last month, reaffirmed a negative credit rating for SHLD. If this loan gets approved, I am going to be totally shocked.

Sears auto centers
What does sears plan to do with the auto centers. Our district has been told to ship back many of our Michelin tires. Are they planning on closing us down or are they selling us off?

Tell me, does anyone know a grown man, let alone a corporate executive, that calls himself Eddie? Not Edward, EDDIE. LOL, That may answer a lot of questions. For one, He's still a little boy.
