        Imagine if Bankruptcy Court took company away from the vultures who have wrecked it, and handed Sears to its employees.....

        This is the critical story. The ideological madness, hubris and incompetence of executive management destroying a great American company.

        This was not hubris, it was vulture capitalism extracting value from Sear's real estate and from every other possible avenue that only profited his interests and not the company's interests. Despicable.

        How sad that Sears, which last century was today's Amazon, was left to 'die' ! As I look through Sears' catalogues, there's everything to buy - an era gone by.

        I can’t read the op-ed, but I can say as a former employee, I left right after the merge when K-Mart management took over and changed a great company and work environment into hell. Any of us could have predicted the outcome.

        Wait, so Ayn Rand doesn’t know shit about actual business? This is going to be shocking to any college kid who is younger than 20.

        The Motley Fool called it back around 2004 that Eddie Lampert's play on Sears & KMart had always been about the real estate footprint both were on, not the retail business. For NYT in 2018 to write about his hubris is being fairly uninformed, or is obfuscating for Lampert.

        Why did anyone think these retailers would survive? Anyone working on the wishbook project circa 2008 could have told you these clowns had no clue what they were doing.

        The thing is that once these people reach senior executive status, it doesn’t matter what they do. They can run a company into the ground and still get another job elsewhere.

        He looted the company, plain and simple. He took as much from wealth from the company within as short an amount of time as possible, and then let the company die.
