Radio Shack’s Junk Mail
Ok, maybe electronic communication has gone too far. I posted some Termination Tips a week ago that apparently were not read by Radio Shack’s upper management team. Before that, I posted about Text Message Terminations – an employee was fired through her cell phone text messaging. Granted, it was from a body piercing shop, but the approach was still laughable.
Now Radio Shack has decided to enter this infamous club by using email to terminate employees. This is no joke:
Employees at the Fort Worth headquarters received an e-mail Tuesday morning telling them they were being dismissed immediately.”The work force reduction notification is currently in progress,” the notice stated. “Unfortunately your position is one that has been eliminated.”
What more can you add to this train wreck?
I’ll go with this – Voltaire once said “Common sense is not so common.”
