Where exactly are the efficiencies of e-commerce when an online drugstore has 550 employees? And it they can let go 185 of them, why did they hire them in the first place? IMHO one of the things this crazy market created was a hiring frenzy that made profitability harder to achieve.... Alomex, I should have waited until I got to your post. Maybe they thought there would be no people left to hire once e-commerce took off so they hired in advance for the future? Geeez.... Glenn
