Re: This Can De-Volve Into A Circular Reasoning Thread

Oh, I agree with you more than you think regarding CC. It really is a bonehead PR move, but one that unfortunately is necessary due to the competitive disadvantage they put themselves in. I do feel that many of the employees probably deserved better. I hope most of them saw this coming and prepared themselves for their next position.

But I can't help but wonder what a union could have done for them. Hold on to their compensation plan while the company went under? You see, a company with poor management that fails to act in a timely manner to remain competitive is better off than one who cannot act because of a collective bargaining agreement because they still can make necessary changes to "right the ship". Even if those changes are unpopular.

I tried before I left Circuit City to shed some light on what I believed to be a flawed management style, cumbersome employee review process and lack of a proper recognition and reward system for the salespeople who did have passion for what they did. Ultimately I left because I could not embrace their management culture, and could not effect any meaningful change.

That's the beauty of our free enterprise system. You can choose to be proactively involved in your own development and future and make your own decisions, or you can choose to pay someone to represent you. Personally I think you'd be better off "driving your own bus."
