Circuit City and the American Dream
An anonymous reader writes "Circuit City said yesterday that it had fired 3,400 of its highest-paid sales staff — 8% of its employees — and will replace them with lower-paid workers. Sign On San Diego called this 'a risky strategy to cut costs that goes beyond the layoffs, buyouts and hiring freezes commonly used by struggling companies.' The fired workers have a chance to apply for lower-paying positions after a 10-week wait, the company said. Quoting a Circuit City spokesman: 'This is no reflection on job performance... We deeply regret the negative impact. Retail is extremely competitive, and if we're going to thrive and operate a successful company... we just have to control costs.' So: work hard, become the best in your field, and get fired so they can offer you a new job 10 weeks later at a lower salary."
Interesting post, which begs the question... Are you a nearly-55-year-old imbecile, or a lying teenager? :-D
Inquiring minds want to know.
Exactly! It is that reason the fucktarded USians will end up with no job and no means of feeding themselves. As a result they will all either die of starvation or slit their fucking wrists. Either way it will be natural selection at work. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!
GO AHEAD, FUCKING FLAME AWAY OR
WASTE YOUR GODDAMNED MODPOINTS
FUCKTARDED USian SHITDOT SHEEPLE!!!
It's cheaper in the long run to adopt the general sort of approach that you sarcastically advocate than to watch society collapse under the weight of paying blackmail tribute to a parasitic underclass to convince them not to run amok.
