Radio Shack E-Fires 400 Workers

You’ve got mail! …and no job! The Atlanta Journal-Constitution is reporting that RadioShack has notified 400 workers by e-mail that they are being laid off. The e-mails state, “The work force reduction notification is currently in progress. Unfortunately your position is one that has been eliminated.” Nothing says thank you for your years of service to our company quite like an e-boot out the door.

What part of daily life hasn’t made it online yet? None that I can think of, so being fired that way doesn’t seem like much of a surprise. I think if I were to be fired, this is how I’d like it done. Saves one from making the trip into work only to be told that they are canned. Seriously though, this is a rather childish way of dealing with things.
