[@sticknba]

@@Hateme021 it's not the right to work bill that have people fire for no reason it give the people the right to work the bill you are taking about is the at will law that is the one that can fire anyone for no reason as long it doesn't brake federal laws and there is only one state that does not have the law and it Wisconsin

[@Hateme021]

No I’m saying at any non union job you can be let go at any time for any reason. You can sue, you can’t file harassment, you have no rights.

When brought into the back office for a conference and they ask you to have a seat, DON'T! ... respectfully inform them that you prefer to stand and do so, if they attempt to threaten you with 'insubordination' or something similar, respond with, "that is your prerogative sir/ma'am, but I prefer to stand, thank you." As a retired Army NCO, I can confirm this whole scenario is a power play. The idea is to have the 'victim' forced to look up to the 'interrogator' while he/she stands to look down over you... AKA 'the high ground'. This is one of the biggest tools used to 'psych out' and intimidate the 'victim'. The few times I've been called in for a 'conference', I continued to stand at the position known as Parade Rest in the Army. This not only takes away their high ground, but also has the effect of the psych out/intimidation being reversed. PsyOps can be so much fun!

He had a few too many DWI's, then a few months later I had my squad score the highest in the Battalion for our ARTEPS. Then one of the guys with a regular squad instead of an AVLB squad like me, got second and they awarded him as first. Total politics, but he was an E-6 and I was still an E-5. He got an award, for the leading the best squad, and his E-7 not long after that. The interesting part was, when our SGM pulled me aside to talk to me after, I surprised him. I knew why, but also, wanted him promoted. He was a good guy that I had known for years and a few duty stations. Then he came over to congratulate me. SMG made sure I got a BNCOC date soon after.

[@Jimmymatthewb]

The retail price for new video games is set by the publisher, stores have no control over them unless they're used. A full AAA game always launches at 59.99 + tax, but publishers often charge less for certain titles. Amazon might be having a specific promotion or something for Doom, I don't know. But if so that'd be an exception not the rule, and would have to be greenlighted by Bethesda. Ordinarily there's zero point in "shopping around" for the best price on brand new titles. I'm not a gamestop apologist or anything, but to be fair everybody knows the publisher sets the price, and that 59.99 is the industry standard.

Especially people who've been in retail from a young age. They tend to devalue their taught to put the company before their feelings. Unless your well off or have another job lined up, the last thing you wanna do is quit a job when you have responsibilities. If you work in retail in any shape or form, there's a lot of shady shit going on all the time. We don't live in an economy where people can normally just quit jobs whenever they feel like. For most of us, pickings are slim and bills need to be paid. The reason shady shit is so common, is because most of these places know how limited work can be and how easy it is to manipulate people. If your goal is to rid the industry of poor practice, the targets should be the leaders. Not the people at the bottom. The people at the bottom are just trying to live.

Sorry man, but Gamestop requires all associates to sign a Binding Arbitration Agreement in order to be employed there.

Instead they force you into Binding Arbitration with a retired judge who will likely fall asleep during your deposition then rule in the company's favor because the Corporate Lawyer is his golfing buddy and goes to his church.

If two employees commit the same "offense" that is considered deserving of disciplinary action, and they are punished differently by the company, this is called "arbitrary discrimination."

Ashley can do the same now since it just happened. as far as lawsuit you gotta do it with more than one person but going just by federal guidlines as to what constitutes working off the clock, it seem GS policy is breaking that and that would be fairly easy to prove. all they would need is GS written policy about sitting at the desk and opening the store with the alarm going off.

[@JangumTute]

Worked at walmart for 6 years, was a manager there... I've heard stories similar to this... and i've experienced these horribly managers first hand... there's never a single day where its just "go in and do your job" no, it feels like the management just sits there plotting "how can we screw with these people today" it was always something new with them. When it finally came to quitting as i just had enough, i knew that if I went in they were going to convince me not to. so I just decided to stop showing up, they text me one day and were like "hey are you coming back?" and i told them "no i'm fed up with walmart, i'm done" and then they..... ..... threatened to .... fire me ... if i quit... lol... like thats the level of stupidity that goes on in walmart management... lol.

They act like GameStop is evil but they’re really not. They’re a business. People get terminated for many reasons. It was someones opinion to terminate these two employees. They act like GameStop is an evil overlord when the decision to terminate came from a few people. They have 6,000 stores and 50,000 workers. Millions of people have worked at GameStop. This channel is just a guy talking shit about GameStop.

Thats because at one point they were the same company just run seperate. I used to love EB before it became Game, in the first branch I visited they promoted a member of staff to manager who's own words were when asking for advice was "Don't ask me, do I look like the sort of person who plays video games" I went for interviews at more than one store and was told they don't want games players, they want sales people. At multiple branches if a employee spoke to a customer for more than a minute they got in trouble unless they were talking customers into buying things they don't want this was told to me by the nicer members of staff, I was banned from one store because they sold me a faulty pre owned PS2 and refused to let me return it saying they had nothing to replace it with and they don't do refunds, had to go to head office who sorted it and the store manager banned me for getting her in trouble! Hated the company and how they ruined Gamestation too.

Worked for GameStop part time while having a full time career. Gamestop paid 8.25 an hour, regular job paid over 30. Placed a deposit on an all white PS4 at another store and went to pickup on my lunch break from my full time job. Was told they sold it to someone that morning because I am an employee and customers come first. Decided to tell that manager how I really felt and was called from the manager of my store saying the district manager was demanding an apology. I literally only worked there to get the cool lanyards and T-Shirts. I'd suggest not working for them, its a grinder and unless you're 16 and need a retail job or can hit the big times as an executive, I'd suggest you steer clear.
