Did anyone out there get a email regarding our pensions and what May happens when the new buyer takes over ? What did you think will happen

This can't be! Installment payments..,what in the world is going on? It's as if they told us this in advance but I never heard this from the company until now. My take is that they should just pay us all of our severance and let move on.

Anybody else worried that there's been very little news about our future?

My store is an anchor to one of the few malls that are still going strong and we still have surprisingly good sales. Can I take this as a sign that we are safe from closing any time soon or is even that not enough to be certain, considering the new... —  read more

Sept 27, 2020 original closing date with exit date of Sept 30,2020. Now they are changing the game when some of us have jobs lined up to report to and holding our severance pay over our heads. What a disgrace on their part! We have agreed to hold... —  read more

They get saved or more closures? Potential of closing every single store? If only some are closed, any particularly vulnerable locations?

Weren't there supposed to be 220 closures? There's been 140ish. I previously asked when the next closures would be on here and was told November. Where does it say November I start working at a non closing one soon in Ohio

I liked my job at JCP. It was not ideal but my pay was decent and the people I worked with were great folks. And there was at least some sense of independence. And now it looks my store will be replaced by an Amazon fulfillment center. Which will... —  read more

Plan to only keep 250 doors open and convert them to Belk, liquidate the rest.

No staff, want flawless merchandising, board folded, no fitting room hours. No support from so called company, unrealistic expectations. I am stressed above and beyond. Anyone else? Or am I just crazy?

https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/16/business/jcpenney-bankruptcy/index.html Sad. JCP won’t necessarily liquidate bc there’s no value in liquidation . So the building might remain standing bc falling over isn’t much of a relief.

Wondering what is going on at Jcpenney as it seems only a couple of us got called back while most of the store is furloughed. They have us doing multiple jobs because they don’t seem to want to call anyone else back. Nice to work so many hours but... —  read more

Does anyone know which JCPenney Stores are expected to close? I still have not seen the list yet

Has anyone received any information on their separation date? I haven’t heard anything . The stores are still closed. Would powerline be able to help?

We will know in June 4th which stores are closing

Thankfully I'm not the only breadwinner in my household so my situation isn't too dire but I still can't help but feel like garbage. I didn't know I would get the boot so soon. What a horrible year this has been.
