Human resources Radioshack style
Nothing says "we appreciate the efforts of our employees" like a mass email informing them that they've been laid off.
That's what electronics store Radioshack did when it decided to lay off 400 workers at its corporate headquarters in Forth Worth, TX.
radIn all fairness, the retailer had previously said that it was looking to cut costs and drive up efficiency. Printing letters, sitting down with employees and showing human emotions is highly inefficient.
Many consumers meanwhile have found out the hard way that the Radioshack stores are highly inefficient, selling overpriced goods and plagued by an ignorant sales staff of bored high school students. But instead of voting with my feet, perhaps I should send the company an email?
