| I guess it's pretty hard to find a minimum wage job that treats you like a human being, huh? | |||

Originally posted by Nebetsu Nah, I liked game stop, they treat you pretty decently and I really felt like...the coworkers were family? XD Until the ASM started hitting on me and junk. Well, he hit on me before he was an ASM, SOOO yeah. That caused a little bit of a problem The problem IS finding a retail job that gives hours. |

Well, if someone's willing to grit their teeth and spit out the company BS while doing their job, then maybe it still is nice to work there. 
And ew on nobody meeting their quotas.  I'm guessing you're "exempt" from that rule now as a manager?  |

Originally posted by Colin From what both of my managers told me, they kind of are exempt, because not only do they have the whole store to run, nevermind them trying to get quotas. And I ended up quitting because of that. If I didn't do so hot one week, I'd go from getting the most hours in the store (around 21) to like...11. But I think the manager was partial to me because of my circumstances, and such. |

| Ah, the benefits of working at an EB where only 4 people are employed.
Though we're probably rehiring one or two for the Christmas season... |

| I think the only thing worse than being fired because you didn't meet quotas is being marginalized as a result. I mean, telling someone they're working 10-11 hours during the week is a slap in the face. | |||

| Yea....exempt....I think the only reason why I am, is b/c I turned a crappy store around and I work damn hard. But I tend to kick myself if I don't get the numbers per week.
OMG< I hate holiday hiring..I have to tell these people that they're only seasonal and that they might only end up getting 5 hours per week. Ha!!! (OMG, I am so sore...had to help another store with their inventory last night. Hey NSNick, the way EBs does their inventory, sooo much better than GS. Before, you would start at close on a Sunday (6pm) and if you are lucky, leave at midnight, some store left at 4am. Now we use the same style as EB, so it takes six people to do it. We got out of there at 10:30pm last night. Got a lot of good ideas for my store too. I think my inventory is gonna be after the conf in Texas.) |

| See, this is why I don't have to worry about getting a job till after college. Because I can just walk up to my dad and say, "Hey Dad, you think you can get me a job in one of those fancy offices?"
My dad is the Director of Human Resources of the Department of Family in Puerto Rico  |

Emptyeye: Ah, that's not the case with some of the unions I know about. Things actually do happen with them around here. :/ And from what I heard it's kinda easy to fire people in US randomly. |

| Speaking of that, wasn't there a law in the making that allowed employers to fire employees under 26 years of age without any explanation or benefits? | |||

| I wouldn't have such a hard time gonig for some of those reserves and such at GAmeSTop but at the majority of them I visit, the employees spend far too much time talking too each other to make me want to bother with it.
I do buy a fair share of used games though. |

| Well, at least some 16-year old kids might not mind $40 a week for a few weeks to pay for Christmas presents... :\
Then again, if some people don't do the job during the holidays you're bound to have a few people who might get some more hours. |
