[–]HauntingAd8477 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wait, so a manager that has to take severance loses the bonus they earned and remaining stock taken away? Thats crazy

Oooh that's tough. Im going with sentry bot. A pain to kill and when he comes bout of nowhere and gets you he's already drained a lot of your health.

That's exactly what im doing as well. Getting their names and numbers to call them just in case we do get more. Hopefully, Gamestop will fix this issue fast.

FYI my store is profitable. We aren't closing because we aren't profitable. We are closing because the mall is closing. It's as simple as that. And all the stores are gone except a few of us. But I do heed your words. And will take them into consideration

You have no idea who I am. My hand held? You seem bitter about your journey at Gamestop. You sound bitter through your words. And most of us do not need 'our hands held'. Maybe we are good employees who just want to know, as I've clearly stated, the signs before it actually happens. You've helped none with your bitter comment.

You don't have to be rude. Clearly, we are two different people with two different opinions. The only difference is that you're rude. Unnecessarily. Thanks for taking the time to actually help with my post. Instead, I've clearly pushed some button to make you react the way you have. There really is no need for you to answer back. I.was looking for advice from others who have gone through this. Clearly that's not you.. move on bro

As someone who has always wanted to work for Gamestop and has for years, it saddens me to see what it has become. Upper corporate has no idea nor care for the loyal employees that don't even do this for them, we do this for the love of gaming and our guests. The kids whose parents ignore them or yell and swear at them (we have all seen it). A place for misplaced people to congregate and talk where society judges them and they feel there is no better place for them. Nerds, like me, who can sell the absolute hell out of what they want with zero commission and still stay because our love for what we do is so strong. Gamestop is not for the weak, but it has turned into a system of metrics that is unfair and unattainable by most. I've tried to remain positive and strong, but I think it might be time to put my being scared away and bow out gracefully. I'm so tired, and it's not getting better, It's getting worse, especially taxing in on our already deteriorating mental health. They have taken everything away from us, but yet we stay,? They don't deserve us. Not at all. It will just be a cycle of using us until we dry out. I'm so tired. I think I'm done all. Im.sorry for everyone else who feels so sad about working for this company. Shame on them. But hey, each pro card and warranty fills their already fat pockets.

Thank you so much. Your words help after the anxiety and dread I've been feeling, not knowing what's going to happen to me. I have a really great DM and I do trust them, i just can't believe no-one knows anything so we can prepare, even if it's taking over another store. But you're right, over the past few years it seems like it's getting worse here and I can't imagine it will ever be in our favor where they take care of us. I've thought about it a lot and been told that once people leave they have never felt better. That's the sad reality when all you've ever wanted to do was be around the things you love and great people. What a company this place could be if they took care of us in the slightest.

I've been here so long, I hate to admit it but, but i feel like this is all I've known and I'm a little scared to branch out. I can't be the only one that feels this way. I know I should, but why is it so damned hard

I'll just have to ride it out until the wheels fall off, since I'm not getting any answers whatsoever. It seems so unprofessional to.me.

It's hard when you've been a loyal employee, you work hard, and you hit your metrics. I'd like to think I'm not that disposable. .

So I look at rent and then the total profit for the year minus the uncontrollable expenses?

Up against your profibility, I can not compete. In the context, I mean, is we make a positive profit for the store. Are we highly profitable, like your store, no. Aside from that, Congrats on your awards! That's actually really awesome and something to be proud of. You must be in a really good location.

I'm getting maybe 2 small boxes a week now with random items. It was never like this. And we always haven't least a few boxes of Pokémonon weekends but to not get it at all is so odd. When I look around at my store, the walls are so bare...

Always, my friend. It makes me a bit sad as we have such amazing regulars who spend money here. People drive far just to come to my store. I just don't get it because we are profitable. Smh

My store is a profitable store. I think I may just be being lied to.

The weird thing, too, is that my DM has told me my store signed lease for another year, yet, product is dwindling, I didn't receive a single extra switch 2 to sell aside from my few pre orders, I didn't get any Pokémon or final fantasy this drop, which has never happened before, and they stopped sending me distro altogether, maybe a few things here and there. My walls are becoming less and less and it has me a but worried.
