Michaels Stores actually cut 295 jobs at Irving headquarters. The story being told the company is co-sourcing with Tata but in reality they are outcourcing.
Something that the public is not aware and should be concerned! Your CREDIT information, yes this information is now in the hand of INDIA. Think about it all your personal information is overseas. Good Luck shopping there, use cash or just don't shop there anymore!

Send a message about oursourcing American jobs so that the owners can make a bigger profit.

The company Michaels is outsourcing to is TCS.
They laid off over 200 employees and plan to lay off more, but they offer a generous severance package, help employees with resumes and interviewing skills, as well as giving a 90 notice as well as rumors of it happening before 2009...
However, other companies are continuing to do the say and take away from American.

That is a HORRIBLE idea. Stop shopping at an American retailer and cause the 40,000+ associates that work for the company to lose their jobs. NICE THINKING. It is terrible for people to lose jobs but I would much rather work for a company that is always ensuring they are efficient and solid financially so that they do not end up like Circuit City.

AS A VENDOR, I HAVE SEEN IT ALL - THE LYING, THE BACK STABBING, AND LACK OF PAYING INVOICES - SOME INVOICES 3 YEARS OLD! THEY STEAL YOUR IDEAS, TAKE THEM OVERSEAS AND COPY THEM - IT IS DISGUSTING. COST US 300 JOBS AND MANY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS AFTER PROMISE AFTER PROMISE!!! IF YOU LIKE LIARS AND CHEATERS, THESE ARE THE PEOPLE FOR YOU! DO NOT SHOP OR GET A JOB WITH THIS COMPANY - THEY WILL ONLY STAB YOU THRU THE HEART IN THE LONG RUN-

I will never shop for this evil corp. The executives signed a contract to fire american employees. This is disgusting. These people should go live where they send the jobs.
