Current Events > Do people here ever watch youtube vids of ex gamestop employees?

(+) Yeah! (+)

They never seem to bring up any points made by people that actually worked their yet videos like these seem to have decent views:

Many videos saying the same thing over and over again. "This job sucks!"

I mean its literally a video of a guy that spent 11 years there, preformed well, promoted yet was constantly advised to rip people off, add power cards without permission, refund themselves other peoples reservations and constantly be threatened to be fired and finally quit due to coworkers just calling HR and making stuff up.

I guess youre saying you just dont care.

such as?

and if these are "ex gamestop employees" wouldn't they be people that actually worked there? i don't get it.

You dont understand someone that has worked at a place but no longer works at said place?

Its kind of a simple concept. I dont understand what you dont understand.

I don't care about getting one side of a story from a stranger. It's pretty worthless when you think about it. Especially with obvious motivation to exaggerate the truth

We've already seen how this plays out...

I love Fantavision's series of videos about working at GameStop. They're pretty fascinating and fun to listen to. He has a lot to say and is pretty calm and laid-back rather than being a whiner or yeller. (There's also a series about working at Wal-Mart but the guy he does those videos with is kind of distracting and more vulgar, and they tend to go off-topic and ramble on a lot more in those.)

no

what i don't understand is why you are differentiating "ex gamestop employees" and "people that actually worked their[sic]". and ex gamestop employee is literally a person that actually worked there.

is that simple enough for you to understand what i don't understand?

Ok. What are you trying to say?

I wanna add I've actually watched a couple of these before and to me they sound like babies to whine over everything I shrug off. Just get any friend ever if you want to hear people complain about a job.

Ive watched one or two of cleanprincegamings rants about his days at GameStop
---

No, but they show up in my recommended section all the time... why is this?
---

does RGT85 count?

I liked him until that one video where he literally bought a game he already owned because he "didn't feel like looking in his closet"

I'm like "clearly you don't need any money"

literally EVERY retaill job requires you to upsell or sell credit cards...that's the entire point of the business. to make money. it sucks and i didn't like doing it but as an employee there its required of you.

It requires you to forcefully add a loyalty card onto people who cant speak english and steal peoples money who dont claim a reservation? Interesting.

Yea it happens, and the people who do that are wrong. But every job will require you to push those things.
