https://www.forbes.com/sites/warrenshoulberg/2020/05/24/transformco-shocker-only-34-full-line-sears-and-50-kmart-stores-are-left/ Where are they only getting 34 stores from? Thought there were 80 something left.

Eddie misses the boat again

Companies like Whirlpool and Lowes reporting huge numbers in appliance sales because of stockpiling. Where was Sears? Closed. Way to go Eddie and Rick.

Commission Sales

How is Sears going to pay their commission associates if sales are going to be worse than they already were? It can’t be legal that every week we were hitting draw pay. And on top of that they want us to do other tasks. Free labor.

Commissioned Associates

Those that are back to work are y’all making any money? I remember availability being awful and customer traffic in the toilet.

Kmart vs Sears

Reminder that the best performing store in the company is a kmart. The Guam kmart does over $150 million in sales yearly. You can add up all current Sears full line locations sales for a year and they probably barely beat Guam kmart.

For Employees on Leave due to Coronavirus

Do you think the employees that were put on leave will return to HE? My thought was this would be a good opportunity to get rid of jobs no longer needed. What are the chances all HE employees put on leave will be asked to come back? Do you think any... — read more

Just know that. Just know that the work that every Kmart employee does is important work. You carry the legacy of S S Kresge on your shoulders. Stay safe and God bless!

Here is how it works

Chicago Sears is closing in July?

Here's a link about how bad our survival is looking at Sears, but the first paragraph talks about Chicago Sears closing in July. Is this a mistake and perhaps a store already slated to... — read more

Eddie Lampert, misunderstood genius

People often blame Eddie for the fall of Sears, but Sears fell for reasons that have nothing to do with him. Look at JCPenney, Neiman Marcus, Forever 21, Sports Authority, Radio Shack, Payless Shoe Source, and J Crew. All major chains that went... — read more 

Sears is screwed Jcpenney might survive

Amazon is looking into possibly buying JCPenney. Looks like there is hope for JCPenney. Meanwhile Eddie is drowning the little that is left of Sears and Kmart. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/amazon-said-talks-buy-bankrupt-065505605.html

The real brains behind ESL

It was always William Crowley, now at Ashe Capital, and was more than glad to wash himself of the vanity project that was the Sears debacle. The second Eddie bailed on him, all of ESL's clients bailed on Eddie, because they all knew where the real... — read more 

Time for Shop Your Way 2.0 bigger and better

They really need to revamp this program. Who wants to be in a club that all the cashiers keep asking you to join ? They need to make nonmembers WANT to join. The current members should walk around the stores, silenty mumbling about what great deals... — read more 

Seritage's and ESL's critical situation

Sears Kmart are inseparable from Seritage/ESL's fate, and Seritage is doomed. Consider: ESL's journey from $9 Billion to under $200M ESL used to have $9 Billion under its control. As everyone lost faith in Eddie's intelligence (because he's... — read more

Does Citi Bank still needs Sears?

I hope when we open we don't have to ask for credit anymore. With less then 100 stores do we really need a Sears credit. With no SYWR and Credit to ask the checkout will go faster.

Shop Your Way website is down

The website has been down for ages, and has been badly broken since Sears Israel and later Tech Mahindra closed shop anyway. The Citi points haven't been able to be traded in forever. The official Twitter hasn't tweeted for months. Even Eddie has... — read more 

Bill for benefits?

Has anyone received the bill for benefits from YBR yet? I was told they were going in the mail on the 10th, but have not received it yet.

People are getting a little ahead of themselves

People are speaking about Kmart and Sears as if they're liquidating and anyone who still considers them a going concern is insane. Transformco is very much operating Transformco operates Sears and Kmart stores They are not currently... — read more

Just a heads up, if you've been furloughed your HSA account has been closed and moved to a new HSA. New cards are being sent out but the money is inaccessible until they come. Good times.
