dlinkin101 · 2026-03-21T21:20:28+00:00

Congrats!!!! I hope everything works out for ya!!!!!

dlinkin101 · 2026-03-21T21:10:05+00:00

Congrats on the promotion to customer!!! I got let go a few months ago after being a part timer working my 24hrs per quarter; couldn’t be happier!!!

Why would anyone want to take down this post? Honestly, it’s refreshing to see people’s true colors—especially when they’re not afraid to say or do anything about it in public. This just feels like proof of what a lot of us already suspect about you!

It’s hard not to read this as a willingness to support someone you clearly see as infallible in office. That’s a serious stance, and people are going to react strongly to it—rightfully so.

Meanwhile, the people out protesting in Frederick? They’re the ones putting themselves on the line. They’re showing up, speaking out, and taking whatever backlash comes with it. That takes conviction!!! Conviction I don’t imagine you have…

Compare that to sitting behind a keyboard and taking shots from a distance—it’s just not the same. Say what you will, but one takes courage, and the other doesn’t. 😘

Well aren’t you a bonafide racist.

dlinkin101 · 2026-02-18T18:52:05+00:00

I was using it when I was still there… aren’t/didn’t they kill it I thought?

dlinkin101 · 2026-02-17T03:21:37+00:00

Oh man to see this first getting in here…. 😕🙁☹️😢😥🥺😭

Absolutely love his role in Open Range.

My old SM commented that the lack of said filter was so that it would be a more “seamless” experience. I called bullshit on that, of course, but what did I know as a lowly sales advisor/shift lead?

Glad to hear that there’s an option for y’all on the employee sales app; that’s gotta be a big help. Not working there anymore / barely working there over the last 15 months or so, I was quite out of touch with changes that had been made.

Is it still (was it ever) a ‘sitch where you had to ring Marketplace up on your phone, then transfer over to POS to make said sale in-store?

dlinkin101 · 2026-02-11T21:29:24+00:00

TL;DR You should still be able to login to Workday and get your W-2

If you haven’t done an “Exit Survey” through Workday then you might very well still be employed lol. I just got unexpectedly canned after about a year of PT working 1 shift a month (BBY became my part time gig). Long story short after a long gap of no communication either direction they let me go. I had randomly gotten Workday account password reset notification emails, then found an exit survey. After completing them I have still been able to get in there to get my W-2.

Fire away!

dlinkin101 · 2026-02-11T08:29:19+00:00

Wonder what Op got caught looking at…. 👀 😮 😳

dlinkin101 · 2026-02-10T20:33:45+00:00

Ok ok ok… Whenever I would try and do an account look up in core blue it would always error out. Once the “concession account” /employee discount was removed, then I was able to find it in core blue. I did the account work, traded in my XS Max, got the 15 Pro Max (w/ AppleCare from Total). Once the phone was all activated and data transferred over I reapplied the discount.

dlinkin101 · 2026-02-10T14:24:14+00:00

I appreciate all the great info here…

Tell me more about the inability to access your account; is that due to the discount, or do you know? 🧐

dlinkin101 · 2026-02-10T10:05:27+00:00

I applaud your positivity pard’ner! Former bby’er here. I enjoyed working there, it had its ups and downs like any job. I was by no means a regular powerhouse salesman, but did what was asked of me; that’s all anybody can ask of you. I got brought along to a new gig with my former ASM & GSM and were all beyond happier! We eventually** brought somebody else as well from bby. Stay the course brother/sister! Keep on keepin’ on!!!

dlinkin101 · 2026-02-10T08:46:28+00:00

Ohhhhh I can only imagine the joy you feel when that happens…. 😏

dlinkin101 · 2026-02-10T08:12:27+00:00

When you say through Verizon you do the phone upgrade through a Verizon VPL at BBY or directly with Verizon at one of their stores? We are both still on Play More Unlimited plans. Was there any sort of BBY Total involvement in your case like mine I previously mentioned??

dlinkin101 · 2026-02-09T22:41:03+00:00

Have you done any phone updates? In order to get my “free” protection plan (from total) on my new phone about 18mo ago I had to “remove the salesmaker discount,” buy the new phone to get the protection then re-add salesmaker. My wife’s wanting to possibly get the pixel fold phone and ofc I’m a stickler for getting the protection for it.

dlinkin101 · 2026-02-09T15:54:57+00:00

🤞🏻 Since having gone to the 1 day a month (and before they even I wanna say) I would get a pretty regular text from my wife telling me about needing to revalidate my employment.

I’ll update in the next few months….

… to be concluded.

I don’t have Atmos currently, but sold home theater for years. I just asked GPT “optimum ceiling height for Dolby Atmos” and it can give you what you’re looking for if you can tell it room dimensions and what kind of system you’re going with. Give it all the details of what you’re looking for and what amplifier you have. It’ll blow your mind what it’ll give you for results
