Jon Bois writes about how terrible it is to work at RadioShack, a company which many predict will not outlive the warranties on most of the products they're now selling.
RadioShacks are closing every day and there are two obvious reasons. One is that so much of what they sell is more easily available on the Internet. You'd think that they might be able to compete by being a place where you could get wise advice on your electronics and computer purchases but that brings us to the second problem: Very few people who know anything about such areas can stand to work for RadioShack for very long. I don't know how many times I've had to explain to sales folks there what it is they're selling. I don't know that much about this stuff but I know more than any RadioShack employee I've encountered in years.
