On: Groupon May Expire Sooner Than Expected

[sunchild]

Sounds like a fun business: hire tens of thousands of sales people, and then gradually lay them off.

Most employees tend to take of that themselves over time. I believe the business world calls it "attrition."

Sales people do it faster than most - if they cant get the commissions any more as the market is saturated they will go and sell something else.
