SEARS HOLDING IS DEAD.

Wow

I did my part to help you guys get some final pay

ordered a bunch of shit and had it delivered last week

sorry to see you guys go.,

Sears was a staple of America for so many years. Heck you could by a house in the Sears catalog at one time! All things must come to an end..... craftsman tools are sold at Lowe's now, go figure?!

Sears has been closing stores for years in Canada. 20 years ago they were a really important dept store. But they didn't keep up with changing times and suicided themselves. And wasnt the CEO a liberal cuck?

sear

v. To char, scorch, or burn the surface of with or as if with a hot instrument.

v. To cause to dry up and wither.

v. To become withered or dried up.

Chinese tools are sold under the Craftsman brand name at Lowes now, and they are probably made at the "Fu King" tool plant.

I received a notice letter of intent to file bankruptcy from Sears listing all their holdings it will affect, strangely I haven't had any dealings or stock with them for years.

A dude selling watches on a train never ends well. Sometimes it takes centuries for it all to play out.

yes they are, made in china

Sears was doing the internet (catalog sales by mail) before there was an internet.

How could they not be Amazon? How could they fuck that up.

Hell, they had pics and descriptions all ready to go. They could have had a website up and running from day 1.

Dumb assholes, apparently

Yup. For shits and giggles I've it on my investment app portfolio. It's like watching a heart monitor beep slower and slower until it flat lines.

Dude...cut your losses and get into crypto. It is soaring high now!

It got old. The people who built it cashed out. The people keeping it on life support cashed out. It was a too-long-lived company. No company can survive that unless it is tied in intimately with the banking vultures. Somehow those spawns of evil always survive.

Only thing I invest in is precious metals.

asshole stupid americans and globalists murdered sears.

I worked for Sears for 2 years 20 years ago (Y2K remediation mostly). Not retail, corporate HQ.

They were a dinosaur in the emerging tech sector then. Not surprised tbey are collapsing, though it makes me sad now.

First, they thought software was forever. No, it's cusp in 2 years and obsolete in 4. You don't treat your software infrastructure the same as your brick & mortar infrastructure. They were heavily reliant on legacy Cobol in 1998 (example)... state of the art in 1978.

They took a costly mistake attributable to the legal analysts and amortized it across retail, management, IT, etc and held all those sectors equally responsible come annual bonus time. Hugely unfair, like making the whole class stay in at recess because of the misbehavior of one student. Had to grant IT a bit of a pass on that score (paltry token) else they'd walked). So, tell me... how am I supposed to improve my performance next year to ensure some totally unrelated dept doesn't cause a costly fuck up? If "nothing" then what's the point of the bonus? Because if the answer is play everything super-safe, work super-hard and still.potentially lose it all because of someone else's screw up... maybe that's a game I'm not interested in playing.

I always liked Sears. It was an honor to go go to work for them back then. I think rank & file worked hard and tried their best... I know I did. Management... had issues.

Very sorry to see tve fall of the Mighty but they did it to themselves with shortsightedness, mismanagement, and a radar-lock on the rear-view-mirror.

Left in 98, never looked back. Making 3x today what I made then and it wasn't grub money then.

Sears murdered sears. Sorry for the truth rain.

thank globalist presidents and their free trade fucking bullshit for incentivising and outsourcing and foreign shareholders.

bad management

I know people who had a business in the early internet days. Their whole business was figuring out how far off the market sears was and then resold their inventory for 40% gravy. Not bad.

If you leave stupid people to run things, you already got your money so who cares.
