Associates currently working at Kmart or Sears should start looking for other employment opportunities - this should start happening ASAP. My store in Ironwood will be closing, we kind of knew that this is going to happen however it has become public just only recently, I think it was announced on Monday this week - we have a bit of time and will be receiving severance. Good luck to all of you.

I don't know anybody that was let go getting a good package. After 38yrs I got 8 weeks severance and the 6 weeks vacation I had saved in my vacation bank. We used to get a week for every year up to 20 weeks max. After Sears and Kmart were merged it was changed to a week for every year up to 8 weeks max. I was let go 3/4/2016 on my 38yr anniversary.
