GameStop rewards employees for sticking around with 50-cent raise:

Assistant store managers, meanwhile, will receive $1 more an hour. However, that comes at a time when three store managers have toldthat GameStop is freezing hires of new assistant managers to replace the ones who are leaving or being cut. They say some regions will have one manager for every two stores, or an “area manager” overseeing four. Their raises? Just $1.25 more an hour despite the extra work, stress, and headaches, they say.

“My district leader was trying to be upbeat about it but there was silence on the call after he ran us through the details,” the current store manager toldAdvertisement But GameStop appears focused on grinding through one way or another. In addition to the skimpy compensation for its lowest-paid employees, the employeesspoke with say pressure is ramping up to meet sales goals and acquire “wins” in important categories like Pro memberships, pre-orders, and warranties. Stores with the lowest number of wins will lose staff and get folded into the management of higher-performing ones, asking both to do more with less.

What does this look like in practice? If you worked in a GameStop store last week you were busy preparing for a stacked Friday. That’s whenon Switch. Stores were also getting their latest shipments of highly sought-after PS5 bundles. Some stores worried about not having enough stock to cover their existing pre-orders, let alone people walking in off the street to buy some of the biggest releases of the fall season.

15 years…why not just leave and work elsewhere? They even said it - “Even with the raise, they (GameStop staff) say they are still well below the $15-hour starting rate at the nearby McDonalds”. So why, years later, and even after all of this crap, continue to work there

FerdiFresh FUD

Worked there for about 15 years. For a milestone they gave me a piece of paper and a thumb drive with 2 gbs of free data…..no pay raise 😂 . The day I got fired was the best day in my life. Got a job I went to school for and not busting my hump working 80 hr work weeks anymkee

This the kind of stuff AMNH pulls on its workers... then they wonder why their staff wants to unionize.

Also the same dollar amount you get for trading in most games.

I used to work for them, great staff, upper management... Not so great.

I'd burn the office down

😂

(Hulk handing Ant-Man a thing meme)

That's just insulting

I've worked in this place and i can tell you, you'll meet some of the most awesome people ever. But this company is terrible

Boo

Lmfaoooo

Yep. I am so glad I left that company for more pay and better benefits where I work now. Everyone should buy their games anywhere else. Heck Target will walk it out to your car and put it in your car for you without ANY sales pitches.

Thanks boss

Eh, screw GameStop. (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠ ⁠)⁠ノ⁠⌒⁠┫⁠ ⁠┻⁠ ⁠┣⁠ ⁠┳

Trash company

Totally worth all the horror stories I have heard about working there.

Now with their blood, sweat, and tears, they can finally afford… Their boss their luxurious yacht.

That’s more of a raise than I got working in Healthcare through the pandemic……

This amount of generosity is going to change lives

yikes

fitty

At least they didn’t G4 dem

So powerful

Stunning and brave

Love capitalism
