You were obviously fired for cause you just can't admit it and FYI your employer is not responsible for your medical payments and I doubt if your alleged illness raised the the employer's portion of your insurance premium by 60K
Um, nope. Got outstanding reviews every year, and they paid me a fairly hefty severance package.
And, um, yeah, when health insurance is part of the employment package and I paid into insurance every month, they were responsible.
My family bought everything from Sears back in the day...40-50 years ago. They were an awesome company then. Akin to Costco today./----/ Sears was the Amazon of its day. They pushed out the local Mom & Pop variety store who could not compete with the Sears, selection, prices, and catalog. They were the evil, greedy demon of their day. Sears, like Woolworth, had the $$$ resources and power to stomp Amazon into the ground but they ignored it and when they realized what happened it was too late.
The large retail chains were much more like the newspapers. Having been dominant for so many decades, they never considered the internet a threat. The big retail chains were in an ideal position to dominate the internet. They already had the distribution centers. Had they looked at the internet as the Sears Catalog of tomorrow, no one would have heard of Amazon today.
I agree that Sears failed to read the signs of the times and went about business as usual as it had served them well for a century. But as the bulk of America started researching products on line, Sears didn't understand what was happening, or their management were such dinosaurs that they didn't know how to respond to it. So as Lowe's and Walmart and Office Depot and Staples and most of the other big boys created user friendly on line shopping and were doing profitable on line business in addition to in store business, Sears was laying off people and wondering where the customers were.
Old School serves magnificently in culture and values, but it can be deadly when it comes to marketing or preparing oneself to prosper in a rapidly changing world.
I always had trouble with their service. I had to call them and fight about getting my mother’s wash machine repaired. They just hung up the phone on me.

We have had much the same experience. As their customer base shrank they were no longer putting the training into employees who often were clueless about the products they were selling and lacked the most basic of people skills. All that was the slow but steady death spiral of a once magnificent corporation that dinosaured itself to death.
My father was always a diehard Sears customer, and I don't mean the battery. Everything in our house growing up was Sears.
When my mothers washing machine broke, she called Sears and told the person on the phone it was the belt; it was laying behind the washer. They said they would be out in two weeks. The guy finally came out and said "It's the belt, so I have to get one, it will take two weeks!"
That's when I called and complained. I told them "Look, I'm a driver, and even I knew it was the belt. You mean to tell me that you have all the info on the washer, and the guy couldn't bring a belt with him??? And I don't buy it takes two weeks to get a belt, it's just you come to this area every two weeks." They slammed the phone down on me.
My father used to buy their protection plans for all our appliances. He finally told them to F-off. If it's going to take them a month to put a belt on a washer, maybe if they start getting paid in cash, they will be more organized next time so they get their money.
/——/ it’s a liberal Strawman argumentSo, if the government, and businesses both shouldn't pay people well, or give them insurance, how are they supposed to get by, exactly?
This is what pisses me off about Republicans, they always kick down Americans like this, which is why it's in my signature.
It's totally true, Democrats care more about giving to foreigners so often, and Republicans just think everybody in America deserves less.
It's complete madness.
In 99 percent of the cases, people are paid their exact worth. If someone is worth more or gains more skills, they will be paid in accordance with their increased worth.
Please show us all where Republicans "always kick down Americans like this". How too are someones bad choices in life MY responsibility?
Saying that "Republicans just think everybody in America deserves less" is foolish, a sign of desperation. Grow up.
I am anything but a Liberal.
You wrote: "You cannot expect a person to invest 8 years of their life and borrowed money to become a doctor and make as much as much as a truck driver."
I wrote: "You stated that truck drivers make as much as Physicians. As a truck driver, please dedact personal information and post your paycheck stub to prove that."
Your turn, put-up or shut-up.
Now WTF in my statement does it say a driver makes as much as a doctor? Who taught you how to read?
Let me stoop down to your level so perhaps you'll understand: A doctor has to get paid much more than a truck driver for he or she to go through 8 years of college. Now do you understand?

News flash Liberalism is about less government & more rights.
I dont support more rights, nor less government.
I am staunchly against abortion, Gay marriage, illegals, outsourcing,Refugees & support eugenics & racial separatism.
Indeed, I am not a Liberal.

How about Corporate responsibility to stop outsourcing, stop hiring illegals, stop creating junky products & pay the workers what they deserve.

Y'know what, Microbrain? I'm not listening to this "If you don't agree with me, you HATE AMERICA!" shit. You want to sit around and mentally masturbate on how your political views are the One True Religion, you just go on with your bad self.
But don't expect me to treat you as though you're a person.
How so? What have republicans done to fix this?These statistics are claimed to be true:
1. 50% of American wage earners earn less than $30k.
2. 63% of Americans can’t afford a $1,000 emergency.
3. 80% of American workers live pay check to pay check.
4. Since 1973 American productivity has increased by 77%, yet hourly pay has grown by 12%. If the minimum wage was tracked to productivity, it would be over $20 an hour today.
5. 41% of American workers earn less than $12 per hour, with most without employer provided HC.
6. Since 2008 the federal government and the Fed created $26 trillion out of nothing. Was any of this enormous sum spent on infrastructure, public education, universal HC, bail out 5.1 million people who lost their homes?
Not a pretty picture for the poor and middle class. Hopefully things are improving or we are headed for big trouble.
Trump is doing his best to fix this..... the more democrats we vote out of office the better off these people will be......
That is why November is so important....democrats thrive on poverty, racism, hate and violence......
From where I'm sitting personally, one thousand dollars means very little. It's just something that happens.
Try facing the facts of what happens to hundreds of thousands of working people.
