I wanted to apologies if some of the profanity I used in my posts offended anyone.
That profanity is only directed at the troll 9055 that spews BS or as another poster put it "corporate speak" so a lot of my anger was directed at him and him only.
Again I am sorry if I offended anyone else.
9055 - You wouldn't be on here unless you were concerned. You are a corporate member, maybe the T ,wait for it, wat, Eddie himself. You do not monitor this board out of the goodness in your heart. You are concerned - as you should be. You know that employees are at the tipping point (as evidence by the multiple threads talking about boycotts, walkouts and mutinies You think by commenting on every post that you are capable of somehow keeping control at SHLD. You think that you can somehow spew enough garbage to make employees think they are safe for a we bit longer - just so your team can rip apart SHLD a bit longer. I feel so sorry for you. I'm not sorry that employees are destroying you - I'm sorry that you are so mentally unstable and delusional that you believe the garbage you are slinging.
@1kxg, Thankyou. I loved your reply to 9055.
" I can not believe I have to take time out of my shift to deal with all of you babies."
Please 9055, don't inconvenience yourself. I think we would manage just fine if you worked your shift instead of posting on this board.
Now get back to work.
Oh, I love Pebble. IT is the place to go to see all the a** kissers and for people to pass the problem to someone else or tell you to make a HT which never get answered. I really like when someone is leaving and they finally tell it like it is. Also, have you noticed that most people on Pebble are from corporate? Dont they have work to do?
I do not think most of you know what a troll is. I have been posting information and facts that is readily available to all employees. I have been more of a service to this board than all of the cry babies just spewing negativity. The company has given you all a great tool to dialogue with your direct managers via Pebble. So my question to you all is, instead of flaming a "troll" on the internet all day....what have YOU done to make YOUR store better? I can not believe I have to take time out of my shift to deal with all of you babies.
irtg-I agree. I hear the same things from customers. They try to swipe their credit cards at least 3x during the transaction and I have to keep saying, "hold on please its not time yet," as I'm scrolling through all the stupid screens asking them if they want this or that. Do you want me to check and see if you have any points to use?" Of course they answer. While I'm checking points they try to slide their cards, "Hold on not yet" I hear the sighs while waiting for the screen to update. "I'm sorry, I look at them embarrassed, I'm just waiting for the screen, its kinda slow today (I lie, we all know its standard operating procedure). Then I hear about their laundry list of things they have to do and how they really just want to pay and leave. I say I understand and I'm trying to finish the transaction as soon as I can.
Finally when its done and the receipt is printing they start to reach over for it "Oops, not yet, there are some coupons coming, " I say enthusiastically, trying to get the customer "engaged" with this bs. I then hand them a receipt long enough to heat their home for the winter. I get a quick lecture from the customer on what a waste of trees and how shameful to produce a receipt this long. I nod and agree and wish them a wonderful day.
As far as the original OP, he apologized, nuff said, move on. As far as the poster 9505, well, let him speak. When a corporate BS answer is given, employees can immediately argue the reasons on why it can't be true and relay their personal experiences. That gives more credence to what is really happening and wakes people up to the difference between what corporate is saying versus reality.

Eddie must have contacted the owner of the forum....demanding an apology for his inflated ego.
They do not care about the associates all they care about is squeezing every last dollar out of this company they can.
And we will work our selves to death or find new jobs or sit and watch it die....
I'm watching the kaos in a Sears right now. I know what is happening. I'm still making money but I see what is going on and all the positive "we are moving forward" blog posts in the world isn't going to change what I see.
Little staff or clueless staff. No cashiers. Closed cash wraps. Vendor issues. Delivery issues. Repair issues. Warranty issues. Customer dissatisfaction.
No more customer loyalty.
I'm not saying member. They hate shop your way. They want to swipe and go. They just want to pay and leave. Why is it so hard they grumble.
When they want to use Shop your Way points it becomes a big ordeal. When they want to update their info they can't. It won't update. Multiple cellphone numbers on multiple people's accounts. Cashiers can't fix that and when you down sized the stores, you made it impossible for anyone but the store manager to do the shop your Way account fixes.
People don't want to call. So the cashiers have to hold up the line and call shop your way.
Ridiculous.
Are you hearing this corporate lurkers?
I hear "I hate Sears" on a daily basis.
people get a grip. while i don't exactly like nor agree with 9500 post and "corporate speak" at least he/she is giving the corporate reason and excuse for some of the decisions that have been made. Whether you agree with the corporate decisions (which i do not) at least you get a look at how the decisions are made and the mind set on a corporate level (stockholders first, and employees last) and you should appreciate knowing where you stand on the totem pole. Stock holders, REIT, hedge funds, corporate employees (high level), Government Entities, vendors, customers, employees. That is the way it is it goes.
I appreciate knowing that I (an employee who has given 25 years to this company) is the least of SHC priorities and can understand how at every turn I will be screwed, put down, undervalued, used and treated like an asset that they own to be used and set aside when they determine my usefuleness as an employee and a human being is done and does not meet their idea of what they determine is worth something. But let me tell you that I will sleep well every night knowing that my life, work ethic, meaning, significance and purpose is not determined by SHC or any other corporate entity or stock price whose sole purpose in life is to win some game that in the end will not amount to anything. You can't take it with you. What does it profit a person to gain the whole world and lose their soul.
How do you know it isn't a her?
I myself am laughing at this.
Why get worked up over a troll.
Have you only been on the internet for a short period of time?
Just ignore it.
I just read the comments and move on.
I really don't see why you are allowing yourself to get so worked up.
It really is just text on screen. And you don't know who the person is, as much as you may think you do, and they don't know who you are.
For all you know it could be multiple people using 9055.
Who cares. Let it go.
Know matter how worked up you get you can't control it.
ER and HR log complaints and concerns and compliments. They are reviewed by higher ups. That means change can happen based on employee feedback.
9055, employee relations and HR are a joke. They are worried more about loosing their jobs than dealing with employee problems.
I will only say this. Keep spewing your corporate BS, 9055 troll. We do not believe anything you say. Your just blowing hot air.
You know what 9055, go craw back and be eddies slave. Never darken this forum again. We are sick and tired of your lies and excuses.
Let's see... the only persons who should be posting here are angry former employees, angry employees who work at closing stores, angry traders who hope to capitalize on some drop in stock price -- all of whom can post negative, false, defamatory criticisms of Sears Holdings to achieve an end which only they desire. I think that about sums up why all this rage and negativity is being directed at me.
As far as my posts go, I haven't breached any confidentiality or released any trade secrets or contract information on this site. What I have said about store closings holds true -- this knowledge is pretty much public.
As far as those employees who are worried about their pensions and posting doomsday scenarios on this site, I encourage them to contact their division HR person and/or Employee Relations with their concerns. They may also find a wealth of information at 88sears dot com. Log in with your Enterprise ID.
@vcr, Thankyou for making the comment about 9055 being a troll. I really appreciate that reply. You guys now understanding that 9055 is a troll. Will help me avoid cursing him out. What I really want is to run him off the board and make sure he never darkens this forum again.
@wzi, Thankyou for the warning, I was just pissed off.
OP - You may want to be careful.
Profanity = ban
Name naming = ban
Trolling = ban
Non Relevant posting = ban
Funny videos = ban
They administer this site i've seen threads and comments vanish
They blocked me once for name naming and posting thru proixes is no fun as it's slow - I use it on my phone only now as I hate proxies and I do not care about tracking
also, fyi - once they ban you they will delete all posts and comments you ever enter and since you are not registered here they will never notify you as they have no contact info for you
9055,
Watch the trolling. depending on who you are and how much you know, your sins are far greater than everyone else on the board.
Best case scenario you're very naive. I'll never know, and I don't care, but don't poke people who are worried about their pensions after 20 years of good service. That's jerky at a level I can't fathom.
Awww Muffin, you actually have a conscience about your unwarranted bashing of my postings about what is really going on at Sears Holdings. I appreciate that.
Thank you for everyone's understanding, I am just so sick of 9055 BS. Oh this is the 9055 bashing/ hate thread.
