To those posting negative comments:

I don't believe any of this. My manager would never lie to us. He said we would all get severance and unemployment, but that it doesnt matter because we aren't really closing anyway. He said no one in the company would lie because that is unethical... — read more

"Sears can be saved!"

It seems some here have a lack of fundamental understanding of math, economics, and finance, so let me relate Sears' circumstances to you in terms even a 4 year old can understand. You make 40K per year at your job, but are told by your boss they... — read more

Get ready for company-wide liquidation

I can't give you an exact date, but it will certainly begin within the next two weeks. If you are one of the few employees left who have been with Sears long enough to be making halfway decent money, be prepared to be replaced by someone who will... — read more

There is not going to be any honesty from anyone

Thanksgiving Hours.

I'm assuming that Sears will ruin one final Thanksgiving. Does anyone know if the hours will be the same as last year? Also is Thanksgiving a true time and a half day rather than the extra two dollars?
