In Reply to: 3,400 sales people have to leave Circuit City posted by Ole Lund Christensen on March 28, 2007 at 09:27:23:
All that matters is price. Radio Shack is circling the drain. CC is circling the drain. Tweeters is almost sucked completely down the drain. There's no more money in electronics, computer boxes, home appliances, even cars and furnature is comoditized and priced accordingly.Sales people no longer earn a commision but are expected to work their asses off for $6/hr. The only jobs that pay anything are unionized trades, a small percentage of technology and highly educated professionals.
Things are changing all right.
