Hard to believe the “Big” Sears catalog ended in 1993 and Amazon started in 1994.
Yep, they didn’t miss the next big thing.
Nope, not at all.
They had a century of delivering goods to home experience and 100% missed the next big thing.
Dead right.
I heard terrible descriptions about the guy that got control of them about 15 to 20 years ago. It seemed like he was convinced he could milk it and run it. The stories I heard were sick stupid stories about his control freak management style.
He had built a replica of the Corporate Chairmans office in his home on the east coast. He would video conference with underlings pretending to be in the corporate building. If underlings used terminology different from his special language choices he would act like he didn’t understand them and refuse to talk to them.
With stories like that sort of BS we can understand how he drove Sears into the sewer.
Yep, just like Railroad Express. They could easily become UPS.
