Going on three weeks now of constant emails from Kmart after terminating enrollment. The program did not save our jobs and I want to be taken off of the enrollment list. Every email I scroll to bottom and click 'unsubscribe from all' every day I get more.....

Shop Your Way has been a finanical and PR disaster. They will now go to a "Thank-you" points system to make it seem like is is working. SYW will be phased out over the next few months.
Time for a class action labor law suit? I have pages of violations. Just waiting.
So tired of seeing these!!!!!
Move on and let it go! Its not healthy to be this angry, and people are tired of you.
If you spent hafe the time filling out applications then you do on this site, you would have another job by now.
YOU have missed the point. Bitterness doesn't play into it. We did see it coming. It's the fact that we who worked hard and liked going home feeling we'd done a good job were kicked under the bus. We were the ones with our time and energy invested. That was taken away from every worker there by the disastrous decisions made to try this or that program. They should have just let us do our job with good intent and we would not be sinking like the Titanic.
Well since everyone has missed the point of my "What's the big deal comment", let me retype the same message once again. This is not about still shopping at the store or giving them your business or any of that, this is specifically about unenrolling from the rewards program. I completely understand if you no longer want to shop at sears or k-mart but to go to the lengths and hassle of completely unenrolling from SYWR is just being bitter. Losing a few members won't hurt the store or put a nail in anyones coffin and unenrolling from the program won't get you your job back so there is no benefit from it other than you getting the joy of doing so.
But since we are on the completely separate topic, you say that if the passengers on the Titanic knew it would've sunk they would not have gotten on, but how long has the writing been on the wall that Sears and KMart were going under. I was hired in 2004 and honestly thought it wouldn't last another 5 years from then let alone 12+. I stayed because I loved the people and didn't necessarily hate the job. And Of course there's life after Sears... why wouldn't there be? Most people on here sound like the other workers at my store. You hate Sears/KMart, hate your job, and your hate spreads like the flu to other workers and makes them hate their job. If you are finding better jobs now you surely could've found better jobs years ago on your own before you were let go by the company. The feeling that I've seen on this board and others at my store is as if someone has a gun to your head forcing you to work every shift at your store. Myself and all of the others let go knew for at very least the past 5 years that layoffs and/or store closings would be coming so I am unsure why so many are so surprised they were let go. There's been "layoffs" for years and will be many more to come. So yes, find a better job, go back to school or find another life after sears but don't act surprised and be so angry when the writing has been on the wall for years.
If I have to explain 'the big deal' to you then you have already drank too much of the Koolaid to understand. we were lied to, don't roll over and cower....do what you can to fight
"What is the big deal?" A lot of us had many years with Sears and stuck with them only to be let go. I purchased everything I needed from Sears, Sears Auto Centers and Kmart, even paying the higher prices thinking we were protecting our jobs. I will never set foot in a Sears or Kmart store again. I have just started shopping the Lower prices at Meijer stores. I have not shopped at Walmart in over 15 years, but if I can put a nail in Eddie's coffin by doing so I will. If the passengers on the Titanic knew it was going to sink they would have never gotten on. Sears is sinking and it is time for all that are still there to grab what you can and get off, don't wait until the last minute. I am finding out that there are better jobs out there. Let Eddie have the inexperienced, non dedicated workers he desires. There Is Life After Sears.
"What's the big deal"? Why would you continue to promote a company that fired you? My bet is that you did not have much time invested....if you worked for them at all...it's easy to be cavalier when you didn't have much to lose.
I also was let go. I no longer shop at Sears or Kmart. I do use the craftsman lifetime warranty exchange. I exchange all of my hand tools. I will never spend another penny at Sears or Kmart.
What is the big deal? No need to be bitter... I was also one of many recently let go but do not feel the need to be childish and un-enroll from a rewards program. Still use the points because it's basically free money.
