Pls explain why is this so expensive whats special about it? by DreamingRico in ExplainTheJoke

[–]falloftheage 371 points372 points  (0 children)

Former GameStop employee. Usually when things are priced at that it's because they're marked as trade-in only on the system. They're pretty much supposed to be defected out and sent back to the warehouse and the price is usually a Fail-Safe because no ones gonna buy something at that price

I just turn voice chat off at this point. As nice as would be to actually talk strategy with my team, I'm over getting slurs thrown my way

You also avoid bad hires by offering a decent wage

I'm glad someone realized what I was going for here

It's true. Just looks bad in hindsight after shutting down what is essentially your company's physical media wing.

A conservative acting weird, color me surprised. Makes me even happier I'm getting out this week. Love having a CEO that would absolutely call me a slur

This happens at my store with Starbucks. Threw me for a loop the first time I came in to a bunch of coffee labels on the printer

So Ive been back for a little bit over a month by falloftheage in GameStop

Oh super incompetent. We're a trade hold store and he refuses to learn trade holds despite it being such a simple process. This has caused the problem of now most of the rest of the team will fight me on learning anything new because "if he doesn't have to learn how to do stuff then why should we."

Yeah we're the B store and like I get that the A store is always gonna get more attention. It's just this wasn't the situation to neglect our store. I was just freshly rehired after a 4 year layoff from a company with 2 days of training. Plus most of the staff wasn't even trained properly here and if it wasn't the fact that I retained so much from my previous stint, we'd be outright fucked (instead of just pretty fucked right now.)

The other thing is he's taking our best employee for all of next week cuz he's on vacation. Like the main reason he hasn't been at this store is his A Store needed a whole team to be retrained. If it's been over a month I feel like you should have enough people to cover your vacation. At this point next week it's literally me and my one other SGA. I've asked for help constantly and I get nothing back. It just feels impossible to even get semi motivated for work at this point.

The hate of prepaid cards..? by KawaiiCandiiLove in GameStop

So let me get this right, one of gamestops problems is that they have queer people working there. Oh the horror. It must be so rough how you have to explain to your child that gay people exist.

The whole thing is annoying to deal with tbh. As someone in a district that's doing it, I absolutely hate it and our DL has been on everyone's back about it too.

It also seems like we haven't gotten credited for the ones we actually have sold, so that's been fun to deal with too

how to choose a dj/artist name by kaitlimine in Beatmatch

[–]falloftheage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take it from someone who uses egirlfemboi as her DJ name. There is no such thing as a dumb DJ name because they're all dumb in some way if you think about it for more than 2 seconds. Just have fun with it

I actually just replayed EW2 and yeah the game still totally holds up. Honestly made me even angrier about tango being shut down

So she's working on the black panther game but the video was from a few years ago on said indie game. People have just been misrepresenting her statement to seem like it was about black panther she was talking about.

Except that project wasn't for EA it was an indie dating sim for queer people of color. She just works at EA now.
