| Northwest's Advice to the Laid Off: Dumpster Dive |
This story hit the blogosphere a few weeks ago, but this morning NPR.org did a story about it: Northwest's Advice to the Laid Off: Dumpster Dive. We get to hear from one of the worker's who received the letter and Northwest's response to the furor. But earlier this month, Northwest Airlines made things even worse. The company gave pink-slipped employees a tip sheet on how to cut living expenses. Among the suggestions: Rummage through other people's garbage (Tip# 46: "Don't be shy about pulling something you like out of the trash"). |

I have to say that I hope that the person that came up with the stupid idea to give out these "savings tips" to the people they were laying off also got a pink slip. Not that the tips aren't good one, they are, but someone with such poor judgment to do this when people are reeling from getting laid off is really in the wrong job.
