I stayed with Shopko until 6/23. I am curious if anyone knows who I can call to get a previous workers comp case closed from 2009. This was due to an injury on site. I am having issues with Medicare due to it still being open.

Our store closed a little over a month ago. I received the retention bonus, which I was told was from our liquidator. I have not received the severance. Are you expecting to receive severance? I was under the impression that retention bonuses are the... —  read more 

Has anyone received the retention bonus yet? Or is that on hold as part of the severance?

Lets see what the optical and the the eye doctors are made of. Do they take the crumbs thrown at them from the good ole boys who sit in the ivory towers with their big fat paychecks and severance packages all tied up in gold ribbon? Or do they 'take'... —  read more 

So they have enough money to 'add' another ceo to the team?

It looks like the court actually approved the corporate severance package, where's mine? I was assured from my DM, HR and signed a contract. How is it not fraudulent/criminal to take $179 million from an insolvent company? They caused 15,000 to lose... —  read more

does the cobra insurance run out when shopko closes for good; in june?

hard to understand that the pharmacy was let go, but the optical is being sold to the highest bidder

Why stay till the end? Because it is called seeing your job through. Just because the company is shutting down why would you leave your fellow employees short of help? Seems pretty petty. It is true it looks like I am not going to receive my... —  read more

Am I the only one who is still in shock over this? The only one who really didn't expect this will be the end for the entire ShopKo? It's not even about losing my job, I'm not worried about being able to find a replacement soon enough, I just didn't... —  read more 

Are we even getting the severance after they filed chapter 7? I have yet to send my paperwork in, just waiting to see if there's even a paycheck coming next week. Thankfully I was smart and only agreed to two days a week when they extended us two... —  read more 

I've been looking around this page, and I can't find any retailers who are not having major closings or layoffs all the time and who do not treat their employees like c-ap. Sears, Walmart, Lowe's, JCPenney... So where do we go from here? Is there a... —  read more
