I knew a employee at store 4000 with a tenure older than the company because she worked at the shoe Mart when it opened later the first Kmart would open next door. Kmart bought shoe Mart an allowed the employees to keep there seniority and years. I can't remember her name she was shoe department manager.

Kmart was in a decline in many ways in the 1980s. They tried to compete against Walmart in various markets and had a corporate office that didn't listen to feedback from the managers as well as they should have. They held the anchor store position in a lot of dying malls that fell apart in the 1990s as there was a move away from malls in many parts of the country. They also didn't treat their employees well, many departments were kept near or below local minimum wages, by adding "commission" add ons for meeting sales quotas (which allowed them to avoid the minimum wage laws in many states that had commission employees exempt just like serving staff were in places you eat). Then they would set quotas that could not be reached with available supply, or would discharge employees that were making their quotas just before the quarterly payouts so they didn't get their commissions.

I worked for K-mart for 9 years, all of a sudden raises stopped, vacation was very hard to book. Hours cut, I left the company in 89. It was a very strange thing to see the core stores being shut down, mainly because they went from paying their bilks in 90 days, vs 30 days, the industry standard. That is what happens when corporate raiders were controlling the board of directors
