The Sears apocalypse is here!

The end of sears is here. Having sold off, spun off and fraudulently conveyed off (REIT) EVERYTHING they could, Sears had now resorted to stealing from their employees. Sears is changing the way it pays is appliance salespeople. Now it will be a commission based on margin. Of course sears hasn't shown anyone what the margin is out how they calculate the margin. They just refer everyone to a magical mystical commission calculator that only the manager had access to. I put in my last paycheck and saw a pay cut of 32%!!! And I am a best of blue salesperson!

Sears should've just gone toa fair hourly rate but they know that no one would be busting their ass trying to sell overpriced Kenmore and outrageous PAs. Sears is not going to make it past Christmas 2015.

Hey ... Look at the poor mcas...these people haven't had a raise in years so as the cost of living goes up they basically are taking pay cuts. They should make managers unload their trucks and put merchandise on the shelves. Their managers can't sell credit, pa, or anything else so they waste their time doing ....oooooh......redundant coaching. Atta boy couple more points on the score card ... This should make the store profitable.

I agree. After they sell the real estate, cover their debts, shore up the pension fund they won't be able to pay the new rent. Most stores were losing money already. The new reits at the higher end malls want the sears ghost towns out of there. It's a big game buying appliances from sears...you need to check the internet price, then check the price 14 days later, then check the price again in 30 days. If they don't give you an adjustment just cancel the order because chances you get your delivery on time are slim. Then you can play their games like what's the price with and without the crazy protection agreement or I might buy the dishwasher if you give me both the sears percentage off and the interest free financing. After you get the deal with the lower price you just cancel the protection agreement. Sears is losing this market share to Lowes and Home Depot. As far as their digital is concerned, check out their comscore. They are too far behind the players to make a difference. With their recent history nobody is going to blindly buy these products online and pick up in store or after a third times the charm want delivery.

Meanwhile they create ridiculous management market leaders who should be immediately terminated. Most of these people were part of the buddy system and as a SGM they could not make their stores turn a profit. These so called leaders lacked any integrity by manipulating data to chase a scorecard - LBS statistic that had nothing to do with making a store profitable. What would you expect when they hire and promote someone previously fired from HH Gregg
