For believing everything you read in the news, or on these posts about the layoffs at RadioShack. As an ex-Shacker, and having been through layoffs with other companies, I can tell you this was handled with complete class and respect for all involved. All employees were told three weeks before that layoffs were being planned, and why. They were then told exactly when they were going to take place, and how it would be handled. There was a website to ask questions. Yes, employees did get e-mails--but how else can you inform? Come up to us in our cubicles? (no offices) Call on the phone? We did meet with our function heads, and then met in a larger group, where we were told about the benefits, outplacement, and an upcoming job fair. I got to say goodbye to friends, walked out on my own, and, while I'm sorry to lose the job, I know I was fairly treated. I'd like you to show me a better process than that. Shame on the Fort Worth paper for making it seem like this was some heartless act. They've been after RadioShack ever since they were successful in chasing out Edmondson.
