Let's all shop at Sears !!!!!!

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 going above and beyond by 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.

The originator of this e-mail sent one to Sears to confirm the report and Received the following email.

Good to know. Starbucks does the same thing (although I think it's just for a year.) I especially like how both these companies do this becuase it's the right thing to do, and don't plaster it all over their advertising.

Thanks for the info.
