Hell, in one of the stores I worked at, we found out one of the managers was doing a thing where they were scheduling themselves doing closing shifts, then opening shifts, and sleeping on the ground between shifts just to save money on gas. In the corporate ladder and, at the time, physically.ДЄnd they will never accommodate your hours or pay. I worked in two different stores where I found a person of a higher authority having sex with someone below them. IвЂ™ve never seen so much sexual harassment, racism, and flat-out bigotry that IвЂ™ve found there. GameStop is an easy place to get into because theyвЂ™ll hire literally anyone.

This was actually the final situation in which I decided to just go.ДЄnd hereвЂ™s the thing, leaving GameStop is really easy and you might know that. And the District Manager, who is still there to this day, kept finding excuses to avoid talking about it with me. When I did the math and realized I wasnвЂ™t being paid for all the time I worked. This was a statement from my District Manager. You will, without a doubt, get a statement in which they will make it clear they will not put things into writing. I was written up for having a 0% success rate despite not even being called in for that. I had a day in which I was called into work with someone because they needed me to do inventory while the other person dealt with customers. And hey, if youвЂ™re in a slow store and only had four customers during your opening shift and three of them didnвЂ™t preorder, you failed 75% of your customer interactions. Goals are set at an unreasonable level because they want to keep the employees in a constant state of panic. Yet you HAD to get it done.ДЄdditionally, unrealistic sales goals are kept over you at all times. Broken things had to be repaired, messes had to be cleaned, and you were not allowed to do any of it while a customer was in the store. Bathroom breaks were almost completely out of the question. All the while, not allowed to lock the store despite being responsible for anything stolen while I was back there. If the internet or phones went down, even while customers were in the store, I had to be on the phone with tech support for upwards of an hour, while sometimes being in the back on a ladder adjusting wires attached to an ancient discount router. IвЂ™d have to look at a marketing book and readjust everything in the store, getting on a ladder to change displays and sometimes even move whole shelving units. This was frequent as GameStop would slowly raise the prices incrementally so that when they held a sale they could drop it back down to the normal price and act like they pulled a magic trick. At that time I had to manage to change the prices of everything in the store before it opened. I would be given a five-hour opening shift by myself. And despite the lack of pay and position, I was being given the constant expectation of someone in marketing, maintenance, janitorial, inventory analysis, shipping and more. My hours were all over the map, which was really difficult as I had just had a second child and my first was still really young. And somehow that would be bad for morale. With how much time I put in I was making about 3-4 bucks more than the minimum wage and I remember being told I shouldnвЂ™t expect any more raises at my position because IвЂ™d be making more than the people in the rank higher. And when I left, pretty much everyone else there left as well. The specific store I worked at, in Garfield Heights, Ohio, was my final store. In my final year, we had just started to sell the Final Fantasy 7 remake. When I started, one of my first employee shirts was one with a blocky Cloud Strife on the back and a due date for when the original Final Fantasy 7 was supposed to come out. In fact, on and off I put in an embarrassing amount of time. Specifically, if youвЂ™re a GameStop employee. So IвЂ™m not going to talk about this situation more than I just have, but I want to talk about something else. This is being talked about all over right now because, once again, this is a shining example of just how poorly GameStop treats its employees. And these expectations that were put on them were frankly impossible to achieve.

According to the employees, a lot of things that were just entirely out of their pay grade were put on them.
