I just left corporate recently. At this point I don't think anybody cares about anything over there except keeping their job until they can find another one. They are not saving money, nobody is focused any longer on running a business. The people that did either left or are keeping their head down working on things they know make no sense and will not benefit the company in any way so they can get paid. That's it. Nothing is even tied to quality of work, it's all appearances - whatever will save the person in charge for a little longer. So there is no concern for anybody - working in the stores or not. I recommend you take that extra time each day to do the frustrating process of looking for another job. Don't expect any improvements from Sears any time soon. Get out while you can. Also don't expect good work or sacrifice of time to mean anything. It doesn't mean anything at corporate either.
