RadioShack Corp. notified about 400 workers by email that they were being dismissed immediately as part of planned job cuts. 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."

I find this to be incredibly disrespectful and obscenely demeaning. Whoever selected this methodology for termination notification should be called upon by the board of directors to personally call and apologize to the dismissed employees—following which, he should be terminated.
