News - By: pdaBlast! Staff - December 18, 2008

Best Buy CEO Brad Anderson has announced that Best Buy will be offering voluntary buyouts to all of its employees. If a sufficient number of buyouts are not taken, they will have to start layoffs. In addition to cutting back on employess Best Buy will cut expenditures in half and delay new store openings.
