Best Buy-former CEO had relationship with employee
May 14 (Reuters) - Best Buy Co Inc said that former Chief Executive Officer Brian Dunn violated company policy by engaging in an extremely close personal relationship with a female employee and that the chairman of the board acted inappropriately when he failed to bring the matter to the audit committee when he first learned about it.
Best Buy also said on Monday that Hatim Tyabji, currently the chairman of its audit committee, would succeed Richard Schulze as chairman of the board, effective June 21.

Oh, who cares? Is Best Buy going to start hiring actual intelligent human beings instead of trained monkeys? Are they going to get off my back when I come into their stores and stop trying to up-sell me with maintenance contracts and add-ons? Are they going to carry actual high-fidelity stereo equipment instead of fancy livingroom furniture with cheap $10 speaker cones inside it? Are they ever going to train their employees so they really understand terms like volts, hertz, Ethernet, or bandwidth?
No?
Well, then, I’m still never going to shop there. I don’t care how many CEOs they fire. Best Buy is the pits.
