Title: Guess who got a job.
Post by: Sonic360 on March 06, 2010, 02:49:58 PM
I got a job at the local gamestop, uggh but the job interview was a pain.  They will give me $130 a month so I will get good pay.  The odd part about it is....I will be the youngest worker there, everyone else is 18-20, he only accepted me because I turn 15 in a few weeks so I get to work there now.  ^^ I am so happy right now.

Normally I would be happy for you, but working for Gamestop is probably one of the worst jobs you could possibly have.

Or so I've heard.

even though the job might be a pain, but wouldn't it be awesome if you could get games free there though.

Lucky bitch.
My friend's applying, and I want to, but
1) mom wont let me work
2) you gotta be 18 to work there (down here at least, and I'm not buddy buddy with the guys so I can't get the insider word)

No, last time I checked Draco already had a job. But maybe she doesn't want her working at GS?

No, meaning right now, I work under mom.
She gets paid, then she pays me cash, keeping what I make hidden from the government -shot by the FBI-

If I work, and I make annual income that the government can see, I lose my insurance.

Oh, I get you...but I'd be cautious about saying that in public places. @_@

He could, he just didn't want to work with the bullshit that is SiteGround anymore, so he left it up to us to decide whether we wanted to keep this forum or not.

I've heard GameStop treats their employees like thieves. That they have to be checked for stolen merchandise whenever they leave the store or go on break.

Considering all the rumours I've heard I wouldn't doubt it.

But the job experience ultimately depends on who you're working with. If they're cool people, consider yourself lucky. If not, welcome to minimum-wage hell.

A lot of shops down here in Australia do this with their employees as well here. Even factories where products are made and logistics warehouses are the same as well. They even check the truck drivers that ship the items to the stores to see if they themselves have been thieving. Down here in Australia the word trust seems to have disappeared. :o
