Bare minimum

What's the bare minimum of employees and hours an average-sized Sears store would need to still be able to (somewhat) function? Judging by my store, it's obvious that Eddie is trying to figure out that very same thing. I'm just wondering what you... read more

Is there separate DMs for sears and Kmart

If your store can hire a 2nd softline manager (not Asm)

It’s ironic how July is black out for time off because they need us for inventory

BUt they don’t fight for hours for the workers that really need the hours. So we are suppose to delay any vacation plans, surgeries, any other plans til August because sears doesn’t have enough employees? The employees are supose to care when holiday... read more

Not many Kmart closures now

What were there on the last round, 12? Out of 72? Sears Holdings said there were 100 stores unprofitable out of about 800 and and that 72 we're closing and only 12? We're Kmart! That means Kmart is strong!! 350 strong discounters is possible. Why do... read more

KMART is a true discounter

Is there Training hours or not?

My store manager said “yes” there are still those 3 hours for doing computer training but yet my direct boss doesn’t know a thing about it. Who is correct?

Heard today that mattresses and appliances are merging as one, straight commission

So does that mean they are doing away with the draw? Talk about getting labor for free! With fewer and fewer customers coming in the store doesn’t sound like you cd even break minimum wage
