Got this on the IGN mailing list. Guess I will have to start shopping at

Subject: Just a little note
Best Buy announced a great quarter. They're leaps and bounds above last
year, recording what they call a "banner year" with income rising 29%.
This is thanks in no small part to the American consumer. The result?

They plan to put nearly 1000 American IT workers out of work, in all
likelihood shipping their jobs to India. As you can see, this is not
about a corporation "struggling to survive" or anything like it. It is
about greedy corporate owners squeezing every last penny of profit
possible at the expense of American workers.
I love Best Buy. I like just wandering through the aisles. But it
looks like I may have to vote with my wallet and find another source for
electronics and videos. How can I continue to support a company that
lays off my coworkers for no reason other than greed?

P.S. I plan to write to Best Buy. I'm going to mention this in an
upcoming MCMagOnline column as well. If you'd like to comment
privately, feel free to drop me a line.
