And...big whoop! People get laid off all the time. It just means your skills aren't needed. You're job is never yours unless you own the company. You are offering a service for pay. As soon as your service is not need, the company has every right to let you go.
All it means is that if you're laid off, you have to take your skills and find a company that needs what you can provide. If no one needs it, you have to develop new skills.
So, if you are laid off. Find somewhere else to work. If a job isn't available nearby, you may have to move.
Yes, because this worked so well for CompUSA. Lay off the top and middle management, and let the know-nothings run the place at $7/hr. At this rate, Sprint will be gone/bought up in 6 months to 1 year.
And...because all companies are ran exactly as they should be, all layoffs should be understood as being "nobody's fault but mine". Additionally, executives should receive very large severance packages and an "A" for effort. Hey, at least they tried, right? /sarcasm off
If no one worked for $7/hr they would have to raise the rate, but enough people go there and accept the $7/hr.
Executive pay is based of the value of what shareholders and the board think they are worth. If the executive is crappy, they just toss him out.
And yes, I can see Sprint/Nextel just dissolving away.
CompUSA failed because it overcharged for products compared to BestBuy and Circuit City and other large retail outlets. On top of that, online retails sell event cheaper. I used to like CompUSA for to visually see products and inspect them, then I go home and by it online for cheaper. I'm just as much to blame for the layoffs too.
Circuit City did the same thing as CompUSA and they are surviving.
