Rumor has it that Best Buy is having problems, and they are offering 4000 employees a buyout. The plan is voluntary. Benefits of this buyout include ony year of health care benefits, and 7 1/2 months of severance pay. Employees have to signup by Jan. 5th, 2009.
While I feel sorry for the employees, I don't feel sorry for the corporate giant. This is just another example of why small business rules in this country. People want excellent customer service, and nobody can deliver that like a small business can. Just because something costs less doesn't mean it's superior.
To Your Success,
