What Circuit City is doing…Well it’s just bad business (it’s what business has become the last 15 years or so, fire the people that helped make your company so you don’t owe them anything and before these people cost you money at an older age) that company didn’t fire the worthless employees that didn’t care!!! They fired the ones that helped make Circuit City and stuck by over the years when business had its up’s and downs. They fired the loyal employees that I’m sure would help the company out of a slump and still stand behind Circuit City as a whole.
Sometimes a company has to trim the fat so to speak but if you want a strong company to emerge you trim the fat in the right places!!!
AS I said in my other post Circuit City will not get much if any of my money from here on!
Now for what Sears has done in 1991 and again in 2003.
(Now this is good business, you do all you can for an employee)

Sears Maintains Benefits for Military Reservists
April 2, 2003
For military reservists called to active duty, economic worries can be worse than the fears and stresses connected with military service. One major employer -- Sears, Roebuck & Co. -- makes the load a little lighter for its employees.
Sears goes far beyond the requirements of the federal law that protects reservists' jobs. The Illinois-based retailer offers differential pay to full-time employees who serve in the military. That is, the company will kick in money to make up the difference if an employee earns less through military service than through his or her job at Sears. The company offered the same benefit during Operation Desert Storm, in 1991.
It recently extended its program of military pay differential to 24 months. It had previously been 12.
"I think it helps relieve some of the stress of the families over here," said Sears spokeswoman Janice R. Drummond.
Besides making up any difference in pay, Sears permits reservists who are full-time employees to continue participating in the company's life insurance, medical and dental programs, if they choose. The company will also hold a comparable position for these individuals for up to five years.
