New GAMESTOP Rules Revealed & Workers Are In Shambles

They got rid of my manager because he used his employee discount to get his cousin a game for his birthday. They fired me and another person for participating in a weekly sale. They cleaned out my entire store without a month.

"No sitting! Get up NOW! I don't give a damn you're paraplegic, you stand your entire shift and if you use the bathroom you do it with the door open because if I see you sit you're fired!"

You missed one the reason I got fired by my district manager. I was seen cleaning the store before the store was closed. I vacuumed at 30 minutes before the store closed with no customers in the store cause I wanted to get out fast , I always did this for years and years I a, the only one who actually cleaned by the way. Yet they said you can’t do that during store hours hand in your keys lol.

"Hey I need you to come in and fill a shift" "You aren't supposed to contact me outside of work hours" *hangs up

these rules feel like retaliatory measures against employees. god how i wish EVERY store employee would up and quit and leave these bozos running game stop high and dry with next to no work force. I've said it before I am so glad I never got hired for this dumpster fire company when i applied to years and years ago

Years ago, when I was just working part-time, I was seriously considering getting a second job at the local Gamestop. I am so freaking thankful that it didn't pan out. I am now full-time at my original job.

Not gamestop but I worked at Home Depot for years and it drove me nuts that every single position that involved working with customers had chairs except the service desk, where I worked, when he had to do our own job plus most of everyone else's because when the customers couldn't find them, they came to us. Pro desk, flooring, appliances, millwork specialist. It drove me nuts how blatantly disrespected we were there by our DM because we carried that entire goddamn store, none of us even took breaks because of how busy we got, but whenever we asked for a chair they were like "lol nah you guy's aren't specialists , sorry! :)"

I worked for a grocery store in my home town in 2013 the assistant market manager after a meeting told all of us in the market there were going to be no more bathroom breaks while we were not at break or lunch me and the other guys there told him and the market manager f you if I got to use the bathroom I am going to. They then came back about a day later and said they weren't going through with the new rule.

At Five Below, managers & associates had to greet every customer that walked in with "Hi, Welcome to Five Below" verbatim. When you're done ringing up the customer instead of saying " Have a good day!", we had to say " Thank you & have fun!" Coroprate would send their people in plain clothes & pretend to shop just to make sure staff were saying it.

I had gotten written up for working over 40hrs between two stores due to short staffed and call outs. District manager didn't care. District manager threatened to fire and write me up cause i couldn't work more than 20 hrs since my other job payed WAY more. Proceeded to quit and they asked me to come back cause the store needed someone to open the store.

Private Security. They made a rule about no raises, that they don't give raises. So many people quit that they axed the rule. Took 5yrs but i went from 11/hr to 16/hr. Still not worth it.

The Gamestop I was at was so serious about the no sitting rule, there was only one chair in the place and it was by the manager's desk for manager use only. For breaks, if you wanted to sit you risked sitting on the curb out front because the strip mall had no benches. I'd be hunched over limping at the end of the night and it was jumping legs when I got home.

The "no jackets or coats unless sold by us" rule was a thing at my first job. I worked at Dillon's as a Carry-Out. If a district manager would have caught me wearing a coat from Wall-Mart because our store didn't sell them, I would have gotten a write-up. The one time I did get a write-up was because I refused to use the 'safety' hooks on the carts. One of the other workers broke the door because of those hooks.

Back when I worked at Gamestop, I got written up so much because I wore comfortable shoes and would sit down. My Store Manager was allowed to wear tennis shoes, but the ASM and below were not.

At Gamestop DC from 2015-2022 we had mandatory OT every Saturday. We never did anything. We couldn't have water, couldn't have a cell phone yet had to check Emails on my breaks bc I had to. Couldn't sit down when we were "working" 6 days a week 10 hour shifts for no reason. Umm no 😂😂

I work in pest control. We still have to work if it is raining.

I managed a theater and they wouldn't let us close if a tropical storm or hurricane was coming through the area. I had to stay until all the movies had played for the day. I recall my DM from Oklahoma saying a tropical storm was basically a lot of rain and a little wind. Even worse, customers would always come because their power was out from the storm or they wanted something to do.

Also I was written up because a customer wanted to exchange the Xbox they just bought for another because the one they bought didn’t work but they wanted to do this AFTER the store had closed and the registers were all shutdown. My manager says to me “the customer is always right” I said are you serious? You wanted me to open back up the computers, something yall told us not to do?

They terminated me because I had a family emergency and couldn't come in.

So Gamestop location had a broken heater during the winter and refused to let the employees wear a jacket and made them be in their short sleeve shirt? That's unsafe work environment and against the law. At my job, we can only wear plain black hats or hats with the school logo, no hats with symbols or any insignias. Open availability at my job, it goes by seniority, I can bump certain employees for open shift and other people who been working there longer can also bump me from an open shift. Gamestop needs to unionize!
