" Starbucks to lay off 6,700, close 300 stores Starbucks Corp. continues to take the ax to its business. New plans include closing 300 stores and cutting up to 6,700 jobs in fiscal year 2009. Starbucks, hit hard as consumers forego pricey coffees, increased its cost-savings target to $500 million from $400 million for the fiscal year. Starbucks saw its same-store sales fell 9 percent for the quarter. "

I hear Windows 7 is slightly better than Vista, so they're probably laying off the people responsible for that.

Carolina is a good school, but their graduates think the world will hand them jobs when they graduate, and instead state graduates get them.

they already did that when they laid off 12,000 employees and closed all those other stores.

now they are sinking fast and still not admitting that it was their fault the company is doing so poorly.
