How would you like to find this in your inbox first thing in the morning?

Employees at the Fort Worth headquarters got messages Tuesday morning saying: "The work force reduction notification is currently in progress. Unfortunately your position is one that has been eliminated." |

Nice way to do it, right? No one's feelings get hurt. Personally, I think it's tacky.

It is very tacky. The coach from our NFL team got fired online a few years ago. He found out in a forum that he had been fired. This ranks right up there though. I can't imagine checking my email to find out that I no longer had a job. It gives me good reason not to check my email when I get up, just in case!

The thing about this is that the Radio Shack employees had already been told that some very deep cuts were coming, and that the notification would be by email.
Tacky, yes. But expected.

Funny. Knowing that Emails can sometimes be unreliable you would think they would use a more sure method such as an envelope given by a supervisor. In this way, no one can say "I did not know, I did not get an Email".
