Welcome to Free Republic. Do you think Circuit City is wrong?
I think it is the beginning of a sad trend in business. Here in West Michigan a company came in and slashed wages 17% about a month ago. These workers had worked for the company for several years, it was a business that had been well run by a family and then sold later. The new management came in and slashed wages. Many of these people are unskilled labor, but the trend toward "wage-management" initiatives will soon attack every level of work. If they can get away with it.
