It's sad seeing this company fall off like it has. I used to work for the Cupertino, CA Sears store from July 2005 - January 2015 (I had to move to Pittsburgh, PA - wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy/hated person). The Cupertino store closed down in September 2015. Lots of memories with a mix of good and bad. Though I learned a lot when it came to how to treat your employees if your a manager or how not to talk to people. I was there for all the different changes, good and bad, during those 9+ years.
I don't want to see the company go under, but it's going to happen and it's unfortunate for the employees, vendors, drivers, warehouse workers, shopping malls and even the remaining customers. Eventually all the bad decisions and mismanagement we have read about on this board or dealt with in person catch up and the bill comes due.
Hopefully the fall of Sears/KMart will be a case study for everyone. I'm sure they'll be a documentary or two or a book about this companies fall.
Good luck to anyone toughing it out and sticking around until the end.
