Which will be the reality for Sears. Lampert will blame everyone else, while ignoring his personal failings as a manager of a large retail business. Because, hey, his hedge fund made bank. And tacitly, that's his goal. Conflict of interest is written all over this. "The team didn't execute. Oh well." While his decisions directly lead to ballooning costs (A couple years back I read how many units ended up with redundant accounting/HR/etc, sapping their budget for store presence), stores that feel lower rent than a rural flea market (the last time I was in a Sears it was a mess; this was in a major metro area), and the cheapest merch, that made Goodwill seem upscale.
