MSO- has it been touched?

Any rumblings about the unit in Round Rock, Texas? They own the land/building. It’s total Assessed Value is $14,570,994

This is the building that houses STAC Engineering and the STAC techs take calls. They lost close to 20 in STAC alone yesterday. That facility also has call takers for a joint parts sales group through Amazon, there’s also Sears customer solutions, blue ribbon, one source or whatever it’s called this week, remember this is a company in transformation. There is a group that Leena sh--’s on daily. And a group that answerers media and regulatory complaints.

Send those jobs overseas, it’ll happen, then Sears can sell that facility and collect some $$-

Engineering did lose some folks.

JR (manager) was canned from STAC. He was escorted out of the building about 5 minutes after everyone in STAC got an email stating he "no longer works for this company".

He always looked like a grumpy guy and from what I understand, he was not well liked among those he "managed". But the good news is that his (new) wife is still employed with Sears.

The remaining "leads" in STAC all seem a little relieved (though somewhat shell-shocked) that JR is gone.

Regarding techs: I've not heard of any techs (STAC or field) being let go. I don't deal with either, but I talk to a few that do and they've not heard anything. I sit close enough to where if STAC techs were being tossed, I'd have seen them on the way out.

Are there layoffs, in Delivery, and Routing/ Dipatch, or any Home services Dept? What about the Techs?

did they fire jr ?

STAC engineering list a handful of people- some with 30+ years of experience.

STAC didn't lose any techs, not sure where you heard that, but it's wrong. STAC lost a manager. The same position that has been fired several times over the last 10 or so years was fired again. Nothing really new about that. It's a scapegoat position.

I do agree that Sears is looking to sell the property though. Given where it's at and the fact that it is nowhere near capacity these days, it would make sense for them to sell it off.

The only jobs in that building that can't be done elsewhere (some are already partially done elsewhere) are the STAC positions. And they've already been testing having the STAC techs work remotely, so I think the writing is on the wall for that. Which would make sense as it wouldn't just limit the work force to people in the Round Rock area.
