Circuit City Cuts 3,400 "Overpaid" Workers
Electronics retailer Circuit City recently fired over 3,400 workers, stating that they were going to replace them with new hires willing to work for less. What do you think?
Howie Platt,
Elevator Operator
"Don't blame me. I didn't vote for the current mayor of Circuit City."
Sandra Pinto,
Fire Protection Engineer
"I have nothing but sympathy for the workers, since I myself was fired for being overpaid by the cash register while no one was looking."
Bruce Lovell,
Systems Analyst
"This is awful. The next time I'm in the market for new electronics equipment, I'll be sure to take my business elsewhere—or whichever store has the best price."
