Subject: Sears and the military
I assume you have all seen the reports about how Sears is treating its reservist employees who are called up? 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...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, and be sure to find a manager to tell them why we are there so the company gets the positive reinforcement it well deserves.
Read on....
Someone who received this decided to check it out before forwarding and sent the following email to the Sears Customer Service Department:
"I received this email 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 store. 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 was cheaper at the other store."
Here is Sears' answer to that email:
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.

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.

| Posted 10/14/2003 6:09 PM (GMT -6) | | I greatly appreciate such a thing, for Sears, in truth, doesn't legally owe soldiers anything. Doctor Boyd, I am curious, why would Sears be obligated to do this for Iraqi soldiers? What has Iraq done for us? If anything, they owe us.
We are training soldiers that had no jobs, and paying them. I think we are doing quite enough for them (some people...) | | Back to Top | | |
