Best Buy: There's Nothing Quite Like Being a Retailer During a Recession

Every company has to cut expenses, especially in hard economic times. No jobs have been cut as of now - only voluntary buy-outs, which are larger than typical severance packages from BBY. All the Buy-outs are for corporate, non-customer facing employees. I applaud BBY for cutting at the top, instead of potentially causing customer disappoints by axing store level employees.

Aren't going to spend your money there? That's your choice. However, with often-overpriced Mom & Pop locations going out of business left and right, and Circuit City on the brink of no return, I ask - where else are you going to go? Wal-Mart? You're upset at BBY for cutting corporate jobs, yet you would rather give your money directly to a company who can't stay out of controversy for forcing employees to work off of the clock, hiring illegal alien workers, and refusing to buy products from just about anywhere except China?

I don't see your logic.........
