Thread regarding Sears layoffs

No severance in bankruptcy

No severance since bankruptcy was filed!

I know a person whose store closed mid Septemberer, had received 1 severance check but as soon as company went into ch 11, was notified the severance payments have ended!

Pretty rotten in my opinion when workers who have been with company for many years, stayed through the liquidation of their store, and then get robbed of their severance!!!

I understand companies are not required to even pay a severance but it's still pretty rotten of them to do!

The whole bankruptcy is a mess but current workers are suppose to put a smile on their face for the holidays and spread magic, but how is a normal person suppose to not worry what day the announcement will come that their store is next to close..

I think things are going to start snowballing with all the claims being filed and stuff.. Just looking through all the dockets on prime clerks website it looks pretty bad! Even the taxing authorities are filing claims.

This post was buried in one of the other threads, but I thought that everybody who is affected should get familiar with this, considering that I saw a lot of folks asking questions on this matter. OP by ( @W3keLy8-pcd )

Our store was announced last week, and the fls manager keeps saying that at least we still get our severance and we are golden on unemployment?? I personally think they are trying to just keep us there to close.....but on the other hand they also said that we shouldn't worry about severance because it was one of the first approvals by the bankruptcy court? Can someone help maybe clear the fog on this?

FYI, Our store closed to public same day bankruptcy was filed. Our packages weren't turned in till two weeks ago today, after the two weeks of cleaning up afterwards. Everyone that was supposed to got their last week of work pay plus one week of severance on their check today. Not sure if it will continue, but for now they might not have cut off post petition.

Ever since chapter 11 was put into order severance pay was pretty much done. Lots of my co workers (including the ASM) were screwed from this. Lots of them were looking forward for the severance pay, but here once again the company you stayed loyal and spent your life for messed you up in the end.

I just have to know does the SM also get screwed over. He is the one that least deserves a severance pay for being such an a-- to our store.
