Thread regarding Sears layoffs

Destroy the Linksturbator

Because apparently no one reads the home page:

The Layoff.com
News, personal experiences, rumors and speculations about layoffs at your company

TheLayoff.com is live since January 31, 2009!

TheLayoff.com is a simple discussion board for all of us who would like to learn more about the rumors or possibility of job cuts in our company.

The workforce reduction process is inherently secretive and plagued with rumors. Companies release little or no details while planning such resource actions. On the other hand, the lives of each of us may be greatly impacted by these top-secret decisions - hence all the anxiety that workers may experience.

Enter TheLayoff.com - The purpose of this site is to provide a space for anyone who'd like to discuss the possibility, likelihood or impacts of layoffs in a company of interest.

So no, you don't need links. They're nice to have, but not necessary. You can also speculate on how downsizing or restructuring will play out. That's what the board is intended to do.

Anonymity is there to facilitate "whistleblowing."

So just calm down. Will people post bad information? Sure. Downvote and move on. You're not always going to get a link anymore because Transformco is private and the numbers we're talking about are likely not meeting WARN requirements. The final phase of Sears' demise is going to be a death from a thousand paper cuts.

No, the link guy is right. Always post links. If they close this page, fine with me.

oh link troll, all this writing and the effort to give yourself dozens of thumbs up and others dozens of thumbs down...

so, all that effort, and the mod will push a single button and nuke this thread.

how is that going to make you feel?

yeah @3ece mods can close the entire board. where are you going to post (so sears people can see it) then? arguably, you can go to twitter or another board but then no sears people would ever see your nonsense.

so, thanks for spoiling it for all of us - 100% sure mods will either completely close this board (they've done this to other companies) or they will introduce 'review before publishing live' policy where every post will be reviewed by them first.

both options will lead to death of this forum

The title of this comment may be the best one ever. 😂

Yeah, pushing the limits.

All what you will accomplish is to close this board forever. If mods do not close it, people will leave on their own as all this junk may be fun for you but the average reader who just observe here will simply move on.

So, continue with trolling and excessive postings - you are delusional if you think you'll be able to accomplish anything aside from sheer destruction of this board (an you can also be a corporate shill whose intention is to destroy this board anyway).

Good luck

It is reasonable to ask for links if they are available – whether from news media, jobs.sears.com listings, WARN notices, or just random folks on Twitter who post photos of STORE CLOSING signs. (The last is the way we verified the Penn Plaza Kmart closing.)

It's not reasonable to demand the links or to disbelieve the stories people are telling here.

the stories in general are not hurting people. Employees who don't take action are hurting themselves. I recognize a few employees have reasons not to move on but for the vast majority , take action. Sears has screwed 100,000 of thousand of employees. It is expected there is some dancing on the grave by some. Cant take it don't come here.It is a form of therapy.

@ziw+13vMtsPp THANK YOU! I totally agree with everything you said. And you're spot-on about the impact a store closure has. It's deeper than meets the eye, which makes the ridiculous, inconsiderate gleeful posts all the more unfortunate.

As someone who -does- post links, thank you for this. It's a rumor site, not a professional journalistic site.

In addition, I wish people would stop expressing glee about Kmart and Sears store closures. This is an ongoing tragedy that is hurting not just employees of the two chains, but also other tenants of the same shopping centers, residents of neighborhoods near the shopping centers, and even the owners of those shopping centers. It is nothing to be happy about.

"Will people post bad information? Sure. Downvote and move on." which is kind of ironic that certain posts which later were proven true are almost all negative! It's because people are scared to hear the truth, they'll downvote it, and argue that it's fake, or it's not true, etc, etc, even when proven true later.
