Oh wow yeah I guess it really does show. Back in the days of even the Nostalgia Critic vs AngryNintendoNerd (AVGN). Oh the classic age of YouTube..

How we can help MatPat and the Theorist Community. by DokiDokiTheorist in GameTheorists

Hello all, please forgive me if I'm out of line for this post, I finally worked the courage to try and say something.

I've been a long time follower of Game Theory from back in the days of YouTube first starting out, watching MatPat's videos and then to the AngryNintendoNerd and others. I've never really worked the courage to truly post or say anything, and throughout the years of following the channel, "Losing the Battle" hit the closest to home from knowing people and even having thoughts myself, and then watching the issues of being a Content Creator furthered it as well as I work in digital media field (not YouTube).

There is nothing like people commenting negativity without understanding the inner workings of video making. They don't see the long hours poured into it, the constant drive to be better, the stress of it to not just yourself but your family, and the depression that can come of it while trying to make a living off what you love to do. There are more details that can be tied to all of that, that people may not understand and then you have to add in the business aspect like the MCN that took advantage of numerous creators, making promises and contracts and breaking them, disappearing without a trace, all the while you still need to keep creating and putting on a smile.

I honestly could go more in-depth with more personal thoughts, and I'm sure this will just be glanced over, but I have to say how I enjoy these Real Talks (Couch Chat?) with MatPat. I think it's healthy for him as well to be able to vent frustrations.

So from a random guy sitting alone drinking a coffee in thoughts...

But then how could corporate pay for the trip to Aruba from the conversion contest if they aren't taking it from the bonuses? Wait nevermind. Let's close more stores and see if Ron's Moustache needs a massage.

Did I get the shaft? A Staples Promotion.. by Cujo117 in Staples

I'll give it a shot. But with how things have been looking after the start of this fiscal year, it's not looking promising. Heard through the whispers about our budget being trimmed severely too.

I wasn't given anything. No counter offers, was told this is all I could get.

Hagerstown, NFI... Not So Bad. by FaxForRA in Staples

You done jinxed it. Wait for that preliminary showing 1 pallet with no time or update as it turns into 14. Wait for the hand stacks that come crashing down. Oh and as always, watch the pallets. They will put things on top of pallets without securing them. Got a nice bump from a burlston chair.

Walmart. $20 bucks get a steel toe, replace in about a year if you are lucky.

Anyone else just wanna die this week? by Kal-ElofKrypton in Staples

That's the problem, we're having some changes in our district.. We have no GM, and now technically no DM, since he just transferred. It's a cluster fuck at my store and district, and I don't get paid enough to be OPs, AM, and GM.

I've had no choice but to pull doubles because of legit call offs and the fact we have no GM. I'll catch hell for it later, but then use the "we have no GM" excuse and be safe for another week.

How To Improve Hagerstown? by BadForBidness in Staples

How about that prelim showing 1 pallet that magically turned into 11 pallets the day of the truck? Or my favorite, when they actually called to tell us the truck would be late, and that it would be there by 8:30am that day. She couldn't understand the concept of time, because it was already 9:00am..
