my boss: " I need more from you." me: well, then *I* need more from *you.* never accept more responsibility without also requiring more money. fuck the douche on top, he's got P L E N T Y of money, and he's NOT WORKING FOR IT. because you are, but he's getting 90% of the income.

as far as outriders goes, I barely heard about it before and after launch also it's a boring game so player fall off sounds like a strong possibility

Maybe it’s just because I’m a new hire, but GameStop isn’t such a bad place to work? Yeah, there’s anti-maskers and anti-vaxers, Karens, and every other asshole under the sun, but you deal with those at every job. The hours are good, never too early or late, I’m getting $15.50 an hour, and the way the schedule gets made seems like it’s designed to make breaks fair. If anything, it makes me question the way their district is run, and of course, minimum wage needs to be higher than it is as a nation. I’m not saying the memo isn’t a little tone deaf, but it didn’t drive me into a fury

@BearlyWrayjn The entire chain of positions is a joke, but if you get a good store the team makes it tolerable.
