RadioShack Dismisses 400 Employees via Email
A recent article indicates that RadioShack Corporation, a Texas-based consumer electronics retailer with locations in North America, recently emailed 400 of its employees to notify them of their immediate dismissal. Critics have characterized this form of notification as uncommon and potentially “dehumanizing” to employees. However, RadioShack officials explain that the company had prepared employees through a series of meetings, notices, and invitations to ask questions, and that electronic notification was more efficient and provided for greater privacy to the employee. The planned job cuts are part of the company’s attempts to improve its long-term competitive position in the marketplace.
