Sears Company stance on armed services employees | |
| Hitndahedfred Offer Upgrade  User ID: 826012  United States10/13/2011 10:35 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I just received this email and supposedly it was verified by SNOPES. ======================================================== Sears - Christmas shopping this year. I know I needed this reminder, since Sears isn't always my first choice. It's amazing when you think of how long the war has lasted and Sears hasn't withdrawn from their commitment. Could we each buy at least one thing at Sears this year? How does Sears treat its employees who are called up for military duty? By law, they are required to hold their jobs open and available, but nothing more. Usually, people take a big pay cut and lose benefits as a result of being called up for active duty. Sears is voluntarily paying the difference in salaries and maintaining all benefits, including medical insurance and bonus programs, for all called up reservist employees for up to two years. I submit that Sears is an exemplary corporate citizen and should be recognized for its contribution. I suggest we all shop at Sears at least once, and be sure to find a manager to tell them why we are there so the company gets the positive reinforcement & feedback it well deserves. Pass it on. I decided to check this before I sent it forward. So I sent the following e-mail to the Sears Customer Service Department: I received this e-mail and I would like to know if it is true. If it is, the internet may have just become one very good source of advertisement for your company. I know I would go out of my way to buy products from Sears instead of another store for a like item, even if it's cheaper at that store. This is their answer to my e-mail: Dear Customer: Thank you for contacting Sears.The information is factual. We appreciate your positive feedback. Sears regards service to our country as one of greatest sacrifices our young men and women can make. We are happy to do our part to lessen the burden they bear at this time. Bill Thorn Sears Customer Care [email protected] 1-800-349-4358 Please pass this on to all your friends. Sears needs to be recognized for this outstanding contribution and we need to show them as Americans, we do appreciate what they are doing for our military!!!

And crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance. Few are willing to embrace the disapproval of their fellows, the censure of their colleagues, the wrath of their society.

Who woulda thought? And no one here cares? I was in Sears last week. ALL the big boxes stacked in the aisles had "made in China" on them. Oh well, at least the company itself in American. They have some great sales on right now...good time to shop if your budget is limited. I was just killing time while they checked my car battery. |

People should spend their time educating themselves and their children about the dangers of Corporate Military industrial complex and a US Government which is nothing but a giant for profit Corporation in its own right. There is no honor in killing, maiming and savaging other men women and children for profit and control system. Sears, like any major Corporation is scum. |
