Default Re: Circuit City Closing all US operations

While I feel bad for all of the employees, I don't think that it could have happened to a better company.
Two years ago, my wife was let go from there during their "Restructuring" She and I both worked there for 10+ years. I luckily got a state job about 2 months prior to the cuts, otherwise I would have been gone too. When she was let go, she had been a manager, a lead and a trainer, and she was let go without so much as an "I'm sorry" or a "Thank you for all your hard work" pretty much a slap in the face and a shove out the door. They wouldn't even let her walk out unescorted, like she was some sort of criminal 9same with the other 10 people that were let go. Needless to say, we are still feeling the reprecussions of that, since she could only get a part-time job paying minimum wage, because places were not able to work with her college schedule.
But at least she got to spend more time at home with our son, who was only 3 months old at the time.
Rant over
Again, I honestly do feel horrible for the 35k employes who will now be without jobs. I do wonder though, what will become of the money that CC would not release to her that ws part of her "retirement"? She was told at the time that they could not release it to her since it was over $5K
