SecretAgentWoman Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 I'm assuming they pulled experian - my experian plus score was 587 the other day - they also asked to swipe a credit card of mine to "help things along." $250 - helped me get a new blouse for a job interview tomorrow.Oh, did I mention I worked for RadioShack and they just laid off 280 more employees above the 500 they laid off last year from corporate? Yeah. It helped pay for CEO Julian Day's "turnaround specialist" $14 million bonus. </bitter> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was part of the 37% of corporate staff laid-off when Winn-Dixie filed BK while paying their CEO millions in pay and millions more in bonuses and then would file for more bonuses during their tenure in BK...worse yet....the old W-D management folks opted for a 'special' retirement package that would pay them more in their retirement....and the way it was structured meant that when W-D went BK, the retirees GOT NOTHING!
