The downfall of holiday sales in the last couple of years

Do they still have new employees in HE
One thing I remember from my days in Hoffman, with wave after wave of layoffs, you would always see someone parading new employees through the atrium, showing them where everything was located. There could be a massive layoff, and the next day you... — read more

Sears is not the only one struggling this holiday season
To tell you the truth a month ago I thought that the holiday season can save Sears, at least in some form, but from this perspective, I look at it as just more life support for a patient that can't be revived. In any case, the holiday season is going... — read more
Sears is done
