I have been watching these dude's videos about his experience working at GameStop and holy shit! That looks like a miserable place to work for.
I don't have to watch to know it's just clickbait, same old muh gamestop bad I'm sure.
As much as GameStop sucks (and indeed it does suck), it wasn't the worst place I've ever worked.
Likewise. I had some awful experiences at GS, but I worked at worse retail environments (with both bad local management AND awful corporate practices). It stinks trying to get through college and being limited to night-only work, but keeping the job as a safety net, financially (since you don't know when you will actually land your job you worked on a degree for).
You sure are an ass, huh.I don't have to watch to know it's just clickbait, same old muh gamestop bad I'm sure.
Yeah. My first day of GameStop was Black Friday the year Wii Fit came out. What a mess and a half that was. Even so, once the Wii Fit fervor calmed down my store was a relatively sane place to work and I was always good at naturally getting people to reserve things without any particular pressure so I was never at any risk of being disciplined.
Wow what an awful time to stick people on their first shift! (Normally you train BEFORE the holiday shopping season starts...)
And people were just okay with the fact that they won't get paid for extra hours they've already put in? Sounds illegal.When I worked at GameStop, our store was understaffed, but we were absolutely not allowed to ever work overtime. So whichever key holder was closing on Saturday night was required to go in and delete people's hours worked before submitting the schedule to payroll.
So, yeah.
I've had other bad retail jobs, but none quite like GameStop.

Wouldn't be surprised if that wasn't even communicated to the employees in question at all.
I hear Costco is actually a really good place to work though I never worked there.
I think maybe he fucked up?
He quit, rather than getting terminated.
Wouldn't he have gotten severance?
Yes there is. You could be a video game developer!Welcome to retail.
After working in retail for a year i don't think there's a worse industry/job one can have.
