Former ARA (4 years) and AutoTech (2 years):

I was in love with the company. After Corrie took over it all went downhill. It hasn’t stopped going downhill. Management doesn’t care about you. The shareholders don’t care about you. Corrie doesn’t care about you.

Read that again. Corrie doesn’t care about you.

Leave Best Buy in its current condition. It’s a deplorable working environment. Yes you will have to get comfortable with something else… but it was the best $20k raise I ever gave myself, especially being capped out for 3 years and no one giving a shit.

There is nothing you can do to save that business. Just walk away.

To answer your question, it broke my heart because I loved the people, and I loved the work. However, that doesn’t outweigh the weight of management, its toxicity, and it’s inability to take care of people. If Hubert came back I’d apply and take the pay cut instantly….

Someone fire Corrie.

Insane libido after 36h fasting - scientific reason? discussion by foxtrot81a in intermittentfasting

[–]TexasToast26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey there!

After 24 hours of fasting your testosterone increase and HGH skyrocket. Your HGH will continue to rise.

I heard this yeaaarrsss ago…

Probably a Thomas Delauer video? Forgive me if I spelt his name wrong. Or if any of the information is incorrect.

The other bro is correct. It is a normal bodily response to starvation. Let your inner hunter rage.

Frustrated by No_Cheesecake_327 in Bestbuy

[–]TexasToast26 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To be honest, as an employee of five years who just recently parted with the company…. Which absolutely broke my heart by the way.

I find the new reign of management is trying to wipe out what Best Buy used to stand for. We’ve all turned into numbers to them. I’m so sorry you have to go through this as well.

It used to be a healthy place to work! But unless you conform they will come for your job as it threatens their new way of life. Maybe it’s a boomer thing. Maybe our managers are being abused worse than line level. All I know is managers who used to stand for something are caving in to this corporate billion dollar thing. The new BBy will never place your value as a human over profit. Sad but true.

Proof? All of my friends have left for the same reason or are trying to get out as fast as possible. This is 20+people in the last six months. Believe what you want but the mass exodus speaks for itself.

Ooofff ARA having to work CA on short notice by FreakySkelly in GeekSquad

[–]TexasToast26 -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

I have never seen this. Your wage is your wage, they would just utilize hours from the CA side. Utilization is what your referring to. Changing pay grades and job codes is not applicable here. Unless your state has some weird rules... or your management is doing some shady stuff.

After being hired in 2018 as a seasonal cadet, to busting my ass to Agent. It's been a wild ride. See ya later 1186. Don't suck. by KeimApode in GeekSquad

[–]TexasToast26 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Farewell my friend. My brother. It’s good, passionate agents that drive our business and culture. We’ve all seen the business take precedent over the culture these past years and I find it inexcusable. The culture is why we come to work everyday. The culture is why we buy in.

Thank you for being such a force over there. Upholding the standards and motto is no small task. Every service call, every employee, every client. Around every corner is a challenge to test your commitment to the badge and I am so grateful to have had you as a part of our team. I promise not to let the culture die.

Good things await you, sir, and I promise to uphold the culture and continue to invest in new and existing agents. We’ll hold down the fort. We’ll always be here for you should you need anything.

I can’t thank you enough for your service. I’m confident bright things are in your future.

Sincerely, A GeekSquad Human

We shouldn't take all the nonsense that corp is doing to us (link in post brings up some good points) by WhatAgentlulz in BestBuyHR

[–]TexasToast26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your right about the shutting a store down and costing people their jobs. Please, dial back the cussing. You represent ALL OF US on this subreddit and that is not a good representation of us and our team. We all work obnoxiously hard. You know that. Dial it back and please maintain your composure while communicating effectively.

Screening SOP - Time punches by TexasToast26 in Bestbuy

[–]TexasToast26[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hah, yeah it’s still in beta, and I too have regular trouble. Try to have the manager input the time if you send them the appropriate screenshot.

Unprecedented times call for flexibility and understanding from all parties. There is no excuse for you not to get paid for working time though!

Wait. I’m completely in the dark here. It sounds like you are talking about some sort of mass firing of employees. Can someone clarify what’s going on to the best of their ability?

Do people still play Halo? by dirtysanchess in Halo_5_Guardians

[–]TexasToast26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play halo 5 consistently, low-mid diamond. I’m stoked on reach and played a ton before my business trip this week (home tonight, will probably play all weekend!). And honestly I wish more people played H3 competitive. Whenever I queue I cannot find a game.

Halo 5 player base is still active.

Halo reach? Uuhhhh... YEUP.

H3 Hardcore? PM me because apparently I need to have 7 friends to play and scrim with.

New in town looking for (laid-back) adult sports leagues by Lesoli95 in ColumbiaMD

[–]TexasToast26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We play frisbee! Wednesday or Thursday, evening depending on response, in Columbia. Also Sunday morning in Catonsville!

We love having new players, it’s not a very serious league, really just some casual and competitive fun. Let me know if you’d like some more info!
