Employee Cut

RadioShack Fires 400 Employees by E-Mail

The point of this article I'd guess is to arouse meandering talk about the dehumanization and impersonality developing in a cold and comuterized age. That's fine, I understand the concern. It's a wrong target, it's the people not the machines doing what you think is wrong. But I don't care about that all that much, I think the biggest handling for such an operation like that is in the Scientology Handbook (section on Integrity and Honesty).

But my area of concern in the whole thing is that they are laying off 400 people, period. Why lay someone off?

Cut back on costs? Sounds like your staff aren't productive. Shouldn't your personnel be the reason for your income? Wouldn't they cause the products to move out and the items to move in? Would it not make sense to force them to increase the viability of the company? Unless the finances are a pretense, one should have in mind that the viability of the company is originated FROM the company. If they aren't making their way transfer them, demote them, promote them, correct them, train them or just plain MAKE THEM PRODUCE. I don't think the concept is too far away from people that no one should be paid for their idle presence unless they in their idlesness produce a product that be exchanged for a valuable. If they don't and they not trying to ruin your group, make it so they are producing products that can be exchanged.

Again I reference the Scientology Handbook, in addition to the above I would suggest the sections on Ethics and Conditions, the Dynamics of Existence and Planninf for the Future. I would also say to see WISE (What is WISE?) on business technology.

This should stay tabbed, even if handled in one area it's unfortunately not an isoluted bug, it's buttered all over the place. If you spot it, squash it.
