I was a Risk Level 3 store, I was just laid off. From what I was communicated this is company wide any RL3 and RL2 will be canned, none of the stores will have APs. File for that Unemployment Ladies and Gents. Had fun working for the company, great memories in LP/AP. No hard feelings, keep your head up and keep on moving on!

The APM positions in both Green Bay and Appleton (Wisconsin) eliminated on March 3rd. Surprisingly, when the "messenger boy" arrives and announces the elimination of the (APM) position -- it's only an announcement and you're shown the door. No paperwork provided to the APM about an elimination if their job title at all, just the verbal "your position has been eliminated." The Sears messenger boys -- you gotta love 'em. (Not).
No balls if he is anonymous.
So in my market about 21 of 32 lpms were let go today. And i cant even count the number of apa's. But suprisingly apra's werent affected
We lost 40% of the APM's in our market.......sears and kmart.
Both i think....they have not announced level changes for our market yet.
So levels 5 & 4 are now 3& 2s?
We're the cuts concentrated in certain regions or in mostly KMart or mostly Sears?
Not all level 3's were cut today.....was told all the cuts are over now, well, until the next round anyway.
Everyone who is getting laid off now should feel lucky in some sense. Sears will file for Bankruptcy and think of all the people who will not get Severance payout, although I hate knowing I was let go due to the RL changes, but its slightly bitter sweet.
Most RL3 APM and APA positions will be laid off unfortunately.
I was also risk level 3 moved to level 1 so I'm out. Was told it was company wide 700 positions and I was fourth on her stops today.
The retail collapse has been a slow moving train, but that train just put it into hyperdrive.
Remember 2008?
Multiply that by 10,000.
That's what you're about to see. There'll be no "Moving on."
Funny how no other APM has posted they were laid off...........
How many in your market got the axe?
We have a conference call with the Market Manager this afternoon......mandatory!
My ZMAP showed up lol, he asked two days ago what time I'd be in the store. Its very possible your SGM will do it though.
How did they do it??? By conference call??
