Been hearing some rumblings today that the Big Bear Lake Kmart (7653) is going to be closing down starting February. Wondering if anyone has any inside info if there is any truth to this.

The company in Valparaiso In also had their HR person fire people before they closed—- bad practice!!! Then managers from the store hired their family members!!! All the managers sat in their break room for hours at a time—— they should have... —  read more

I heard a rumor, let’s just say through the grapevine, that my local Kmart, one of the few remaining kmarts left, would essentially hang on till the bitter end. Assuming there is an end, and not a last second saving of a few stores. Anyway to tell... —  read more

I realize that Kmart is in need of good, smart labor. Some working are knowledgeable, because they had management experience with Kmart in the past. Not everyone has the will to work hard, or the ability to do some tasks. People who assume a level of... —  read more 

The best thing to ever happen was for me to loose my job with this company. For everyone left go now.There are better jobs out there.

Sears/Kmart seems to be wising up a little bit by suing Eddie and his companies. Hopefully it works out well and people get to keep their jobs long term.

Anyone know what the meetings are about this week?

Cash has to be completed by 11am and all excess money deposited. No check cashing. And when we try to order change we can't get thru. It says they are experimenting technical difficulties. Ww never had these mandated rules. —  read more 

So just because Eddie has won the auction, don't hold your breath. Because don't be surprised if Eddie's "Go Forward" plan includes pretty much killing off Kmart stores in the future. You're jobs are not as safe as you like think believe they are.

My KMART closed early 2018, they haven't emailed me with the W2 yet, what's the link to the website that has the W2s?

Wildfires just destroyed the town of Paradise, CA. The Kmart there is gone.

I'm wondering if they are planning to just to show Kmart down entirely. They seemingly keep not mention Kmart in the talks. They keep saying they will shut down 150 out of 700 stores....okay, but what amount are Kmarts and what amount are Sears? I'm... —  read more
