Wow.
So everyone is in a Moment of Choice.
So is Circuit City.
But their decision to lay-off Older, better paid, more experienced workers (usually with more expertise, so when you have a question about something they might even know it)...
JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE MAKING MORE MONEY...
AND THEN HIRE EITHER DIFFERENT WORKERS OR THE SAME ONES BACK
AT MUCH LESS PER HOUR THAN BEFORE.
IS TRULY SMARMY.
It takes Greed & "I could care less about you or your Life" to a whole new level (and that level would, indeed, be very low.)
I'll just bet that the folks running Circuit City are not taking major pay cuts - or leaving to make room for lower paid executives.
So, what is our Moment of Choice?
Well, there are one or two folks over 40 in this country.
I suggest that we consider spreading the Word...Buy somewhere else.
Buy where Experience/Expertise/Service are valued.
Buy where folks are paid for how they perform and what they bring to the job.
Buy where folks can make change off the computer....
Why would those of us who are
Literate
Computer-savvy
Over 40 (or under 40 and value skills/experience/expertise/service)
Have the money to go buy their products
Continue to purchase anything at all from Circuit City?
LET'S BUYCOTT (BUYCOTT means not bothering to protest against, but rather to applaud/reward/buy from those whose BUSINESS ETHICS involve INTEGRITY.)
At the End of the Day it's about US. Is this a trend we are deciding to encourage by continuing to buy from Circuit City?
I say let's buy from somewhere else.
So decide and encourage...and if you agree, spread the word.
Tomorrow it could be you...
