There are folks who have strong convictions on either side of the current war. However, it is nice to see a company who respects its employees' decision to serve their country.
"Have you seen the reports about how Sears is treating it's reservist employees who are called up? By law, the employer is required to hold the individual's job open and available, but nothing more. Usually, people serving our country take a big pay cut and lose benefits as a result of being called to active duty.
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 it's contribution.
I suggest we all shop at Sears, and be sure to find a manager to tell them why you are there. The company then gets the positive reinforcement it well deserves."
No matter one's politics, I respect a company that cares about its employees.
