You missed the part where the brilliant management of Circuit City
laid off all the older experienced staff a couple years ago and hired
kids to "replace" them. I'm not kidding. That's exactly what they did.
They thought they would improve the bottom line by saving what they
were paying those competent, experienced salespeople, and hiring entry
level youngsters with zero experience.



They were doing that a lot longer than a couple of years ago.

I just remember reading about it when they did a mass layoff and
brought in cheaper replacemens. It got a lot of notice when it
happened, although I don't remember exactly when it was. It was a
boneheaded move, and now they are paying heavily for it.
