They are an interracial couple who was horribly mistreated by the British press. And they also exaggerated this story. Both things can be true.

When the things they did and said undermined our lines of argument with the reactionary cap-doffers we’ve been arguing with for the last few years. Their self-entitlement does not make the press less racist, and the press’s racism does not make them innocent victims. Anybody would think hereditary monarchy is an…
“Turns out the group behind the claim made it up. We have no clue why anyone would do such a thing.”
Just a lil update...
I did not hear an apology in there anywhere, unless I missed it
That’s exactly what they do to people, it’s freaking ridiculous to be honest. I worked at a pizza place & I had to ask for 2 days off for a funeral, the next schedule that went out I went from 20 hours a week down to 14 hours a week. I couldn't believe the retribution over something trivial, I was actually considered…
Employer: “For 12 dollars an hour and healthcare I’ll need you to ring up orders and stock shelves.”
Next thing we know, we’ll find out he’s an attack helicopter the mods love.
I think we know who that shithead is voting for.
I figured there would be some dumb asshole going hard for Gamestop. Congrats. It's you
Except...it’s not just about the pay? Yes, you’re told your starting salary when you get a new job. What you’re *not* typically told is something along the lines of “Since we’re paying you, we also reserve the right to verbally abuse you, threaten termination for the slightest slip-up, demand you work unreasonable…
Stop replying to a child who has never worked in their life.
Wow, pissing on the underemployed having to take a bad job over having no job. Very brave
It’s almost as if people expect pay raises after doing a good job and working for years, at the least the kind that keep up with inflation!
Quitting en masse AND on the day of a huge release points to not just dissatisfaction with a job, but an abusive workplace. It reflects poorly on GameStop, not on these employees.
You’re really into games and you think it can’t possibly be as bad as everyone says it is. Some people actually thrive working for shitty people at shitty companies. There will be almost always be high turnover but there’s going to be those few people who just don’t seem to mind it. It’s bizarre, but I’ve literally…
I’ve stopped feeling bad for people who still shop at Gamestop. I also don’t understand those people.
I’m confused, is there anyone who thinks the point of these protests is to make Gamestop better?
I don’t want GameStop to turn around, I want them to go away. If your business can’t succeed without exploiting your workers then your business does not deserve to succeed.
To everyone that may have worked there for years and see this, and as someone who years ago gave the company in different parts of this area 10 years of my life. Fuck GameStop and fuck the DM at the time (possibly still now) Manny Mata. Coming from working in Flint, Burton, Troy and Detroit I feel for all of you
