Out of the Grasps of Gamestop (NVGR)
xMalachi | 5:14 PM on 08.15.2008 15 comments




As many of you who play FNF with me know.. I WAS an employee of the evil Corporate empire known as Gamestop. To be quite honest with you, I think I got lucky with the manager I got and the people I worked with. For the most part my manager didn't care too much about numbers as long as inventory and everything checked out. Most of the guys at my Gamestop weren't total retards but whatever.. I've seen and heard the many hate stories of Gamestop. I do, infact hate Gamestop though but that is for totally separate reasons. Gamestop gave me 8 hours a week. It sucked, I could have taken a job at Best Buy where I was guaranteed 20 hours per week and was getting paid more. But I opted for Gamestop because it was closer to home.. I was a moron. Don't hate me because I worked at Gamestop. I just want you guys to know that you aren't the only ones getting screwed when you walk in there with trades or they are annoying the shit outta you with reserves or subscription shit.





Anyways, what I am getting at is that I got a new job! I finally get to put my Cisco Certification to use. I got hired at the USDA and I am a Help Desk technician. It is a pretty sweet job as of now I don't really do much because not everything is in place in the network yet. The room I work in is pretty sweet too. Many of you in IT know what I'm talking about.. this room looks like something out of a zombie survival movie.. like the super high tech science lab. It's fuckin awesome. I just like to keep the fellow DToiders updated because I love all of you ever so much :D

I'm hoping to work at Gamestop sometime. The local one is really close to my house and the people there are pretty nice.

o man i know your pain i started at gamestop when i was 14 back in 04 when i was 14 and back then i was a kid so it was freakin cool. free checkouts, crappy discounts, and back then there was some really cool promo stuffs and some great shirts, i have some soul cal 3 shirts, resident evil, pac-man, kane and lynch {crappy game but sweet shirt}, and a bunch more, and some cool figures and shit. but anyway as i got older i began to realize how bull he job was, we would be asking everyone to get a discount card but they already had one so WE got in trouble for something that we have NO help with. then this past january they started taking me down to 7-8 hours every other week i mean WTF i wish there were better stores around here for games :(

I have a friend who worked at gamestop for a long time and he defends EVERYTHING they do. The gutted copies of games, the incessant solicitation of strategy guides and pre-orders, all that other bad stuff. It's disgusting.

I has a question:

Is it store policy to hire one "hot" chick per store? Every gamestop I've ever been to has one chick who knows nothing about video games that I often ask a complicated question.

Congraturation on the IT job.

If you were the manager would you want to be looking at sausage fest all day?
