Radio Shack E-Mail to Employees: You're Fired

While I think the firing through text messages I posted about a few weeks ago is worse, this isn't too much better. Will this be the new way employers use to fire and lay-off employees?

"RadioShack on Tuesday followed through on plans to lay off 400 employees as part of an effort to cut expenses and become more competitive in the marketplace, but the method in which the firings occurred has some fuming. The company notified employees of their dismissal through e-mail."

I think I will wait for a bigger name source to carry it before I buy it.

Cowards.

If Radio Sh*t wants to be more competitve they should maybe try selling quality products at a reasonable price. Most of their stuff is crap.
