I really wish I had your phone number so I could crank call you with that one.

Fortunately, I have Caller ID.
Just knowing you'd be checking it at 3AM would be enough for me. 
Simple formula was ignored. Make people want to do business with you.. Circuit City lost track of that and failed.
Many of the processes used by modern business men are aimed at raising stockholder value in the short term rather than building long term stability and security.
I first noticed this with a company I was with that was one of the largest pizza chains ever. Heard of Pizza Inn? The men that built it over 30 years lost control to another group that gutted and killed it.
It really happens all the time. Remember Mongomery Wards..Gibsons..Western Auto just to name a few.
It is sad to watch, but failure happens sometimes.
I tend to watch restaurants as examples...specifically pizza. I see the signs of failure in both Dominoes and Papa Johns. Pay restructuring, lesser quality product, reduced customer service, reduced employee training and benifits and an increase in upper managment pay.
New breed of CEOs see a business like an oyster.....they get the pearl but kill the oyster.
I often see seemingly smart companies making silly errors. I failed to get a promotion as it was pointed out that I lacked experience. Worked for 14 years with the same company as it grew by nearly 9000% in size. Fellow who got the job had 9 jobs in 11 years....more experience!!?? This company just went to bankruptcy and the company that bought them out is also going bankrupt.
Great men build...small men destroy!

Yep. I work part-time at a Dick's Sporting Goods and a lot of this is RAMPANT there. Thankfully, I'm not too dependent on it.
