I was just e-mailed this from a business associate. He is not in the habit of sending or even worse, resending other folk's e-mails, unless he has checked it out himself. In other words, I believe all the he sends me on such matters to be truthful.
I assume you have seen the report 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 so well deserves.
On a personal note, just don't charge it on a Sears credit card... their interest rate is a killer!
