A salute to Radio Shack for innovation in firing 400 workers. . .by email

RadioShack Corp. notified around 400 workers by e-mail yesterday that they were being fired immediately.

Employees at the Fort Worth headquarters received messages Tuesday morning saying: "The work force reduction notification is currently in progress. Unfortunately, your position is one that has been eliminated." The Associated Press story can be found here. All This Is That salutes the innovators at RadioShack Corp. who made this process almost pain-free for the managers and winged monkeys whose duty might have been to look those employees in the eye as they were "letting them go."
