I'm not very smart. What does that mean for the survival of Sears?

...from the board of directors; as signed on Feb 12, 2019; effecrtive immediately.

Adam wants $390,00 from Sears to protect his clothing line.

Since this is the only place we can actually get answers, can anyone answer the following: -Is there an associate discount with the new company? If so, Is it any different than the past? -is the SHC discount still in effect for retiree’s? Is it syw... read more

I did not get my severence. Did anyone else not get theirs? What we do now?

...to be April 10, 2019; for claims by all non-governmental agencies; including claims by current and former employees.

Now that SHC has been sold to ESL/THC do the 18 execs who got the KEIP and the 322 execs who got the KERP basically get their cash and walk clear and free with no further obligation or do they have to stick around for some period?

This is a popular board so expecting all posts to be negative is inherently numb-skulled. Of course there's going to be positivity and optimism. Even if the posts were about nothing more than the ago-Forward Plan, people are positivr about the... read more

Interesting look at the possible future(s). The series of events that played out during the Chapter 11 process resulted in polarizing perceptions of what's next for the iconic retailer... read more

This is a "layoff" board so expecting all posts to be non-negative is inherently numble-skulled. Of course there's going to be negativity and hatred. Even if the posts were about nothing more than layoffs, people are negative about layoffs. Unless... read more

Name one? Must've been led by a smart guy with a proven track record of success, and probably not a complete buffoon with fourteen years of complete and total failure under his belt. On the other hand, how many retailers have filed for Chapter 22?... read more

A city boy, Eddie, moved to the country and bought a donkey from an old farmer for $100. The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day. The next day the farmer drove up and said: “Sorry son, but I have some bad news. The donkey died.” Eddie... read more

Lol they save the company for the associates, what a crock

So I’m watching this and we are 20 minutes in and all it has been is what a great job Eddie and knal and the ceo team has done

If you want to sick it to Eddie make sure you always use your memeber points every time you cash someone out. Part of his bid was to assume the outstanding syw points. Now the points are paid straight from Eddie

He vowed to preserve jobs but it will be for about a few weeks until he finds some more stores to close and sell off. Really, he just bought a little more time for all parties involved. The remainder will still keep their jobs but the hours of those... read more

It’s funny how the main focus of the media was Eddie’s announced effort to save the jobs of workers at remaining stores. Nearly every article on the subject contained the sentence…. “In his efforts to save 50 000 jobs”. It seems as the accepting of... read more

I would just be prepared to see widespread restructuring of roles in the first few months as they bring in the new leadership hierarchy. This was not uncommon prior to bankruptcy. We saw Hoffman do it as a method to thin the workforce in... read more

Won't need nearly as many services after the "restructuring".

There is supposed to be a new rumor coming out tomorrow from corporate and it's gonna be huge

Cuts are supposed to be coming. Word is that all Asms will be cuts and stores will just have leads. So what’s going to happen will both leads in and ASMs be laid off and then have to reapply for the new lead position or will lead stay and ASMs go ?
