Attention Kmart Shoppers: The Rise and Fall of America's First Big Discounter by Ben Schultz
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I purchased this Kindle edition when it was recommended by Goodreads.
I worked for Kmart from 1986 until 2004 as a pharmacist and a pharmacy department manager. I was naive because I believed I could make working for a corporation work for me, until I could not.
I appreciate knowing a bit more about the bankruptcy because I wished that Chuck Conaway could have been strung up based on the rumors that I heard at the time that we had a great holiday season so he gave himself and some others bonuses before paying vendors what was owed to them. There were a lot of people who worked hard and had faith that the different strategies tried during the bankruptcies would get us through tough times because so many of the Kmart workers were people who had been through tough times themselves. Then Eddie Lampert destroyed both Kmart and Sears.
