The Disposable Worker by Chuck Colson
Last week, electronics retailer Circuit City announced that it was laying off 3400 employees.
What made these particular layoffs noteworthy was not their size but, instead, Circuit City's stated reasons. They had "nothing to do with skills or whether they were a good worker or not." Instead, "it was a function of their salary relative to the market."
In other words, Circuit City was laying them off so it could replace them with people who make less. Rotten!
