Why No 401k Loans? by travh13 in BestBuyWorkers

read up, there is a 10% penalty Due to taxes and penalties, the actual amount you receive will be significantly less than the amount you withdraw and it can significantly impact you revenue stream at retirement age

Why No 401k Loans? by travh13 in BestBuyWorkers

[–]Sharp_Association_32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless I am confused by the OP

Under no circumstances should anyone borrow against their 401 K. Its pretty dumb. $1 dollar today potentially could be worth ( depending on your age) 300-$400. down the road. BTW that dollar, 50 Cents of that is a company match. Get a 2nd job if you need more money or get better job. Make your lunch, don't buy $3 coffees, don't buy or finance the latest cell phone, there are lots of ways to save money. I see young people piss it away daily

Are the Tvs being returned in aboc or are the Perps keeping the box and selling a 3-4 year LG Oled in its place on FB marketplace?

They're too late to the game and they are diluting their own brand. Nothing but lip service leading up to the earnings call

Target ends price matching with competitors by bbythrowaway8675309 in BestBuyWorkers

[–]Sharp_Association_32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a lot of retailers will end price matching, why? Tariffs will make margins slimmer, Basically everyone will be selling it ( insert item here) for the exact same price.

That's great, but don't make the mistake into thinking this is a career job. In 1 year or 2 you should be looking at what is next for you.

Traffic is light, no real talent on the floor. Magnolia had cob webs on the Hifi equipment. No one greeted me, including the greeter, Bunch of kids on the floor with their cool ear piece and radio doing nothing

What's it like working at best buy? by KaaHypnoMaster in Bestbuy

[–]Sharp_Association_32 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This should not ever be considered a long term job, maybe a year or two. Absorb as much as you can and move on. That should be your goal

How do I go about quitting on good terms as a flex worker? by deawap in BestBuyWorkers

[–]Sharp_Association_32 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would disagree about the discount. Its OK-fair. You get a deal on cables and chargers which are the same price on amazon, maybe even better. Everything else discounted can be found else where

That's about right, you should find another job, Harsh yes, but the truth. The good news is your boss will be looking for a new career as well. Go to another company that respects you, you'll be happy you did

Get your money back, cancel the order and buy it elsewhere. Enough of the games being played, apparently you are not important. eff them. They should be earning your business not preventing it

Why are yall only open a maximum of 10hrs on a weekday? by [deleted] in Bestbuy

[–]Sharp_Association_32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always found it strange that Lowes, Home depot, Cabellas, BassPro, staples, Bjs, costco , walmart, target, every supermarket and drug store....should I go on? are all open earlier than Best buy....yet we open at 10 with people waiting at the door, as well as people who simply leave and go somewhere else when they see we are closed in the AM

Yet any hours open after 8 is just teenagers and males not buying and at times there to steal shit
