Wells-Fargo is a great example, including that what some of these GameStop employees are doing with tacking on extra items unasked-for could be considered fraud. I am not necessarily saying the government should go after GameStop (yet), but they need to take ownership of their mistake and fix it ASAP. In a sane world,…

Totally agree, and I’d go even further. The corporate metrics are the ones driving that misbehavior, which wouldn’t be happening without this scheme to begin with. The whole scheme sounds like something some idiot straight out of B-school dreamed up - “we’ll measure performance based on their metrics, just like we…

This is complete bullshit. It’s a flat-out lie by Tony Bartel, period. GameStop has ALWAYS used pressure tactics on both store employees and customers in order to meet certain metrics. Overall store sales performance is irrelevant to the company, it’s all about the specific metrics they choose to focus on during a…

Instead of an internal memo, why doesn’t Gamestop just remove the policy (Circle of Life) that inspires this bad behavior from it’s franchisees? They already have enough shady company policies in terms of employment, as anybody who has worked there may already know.

soo.. Gamestop isnt changing their policies, or even their goals. they dont condone the extreme actions, but they certainly dont make it any easier to not do it.

I love how Bartel in that memo takes zero responsibility for the corporate practices contributing to the “disappointing” behaviors you described.

Don’t worry bro, there are a ton of us, and it is only a matter of time now before we MAGA. ;)

Addressing your points would be like debating religion with a preacher. It’s not politics to you, it’s faith. No interest in your dogma. If Hillary wins in November, I’ll shrug it off and get on with life. If Trump wins, you’ll think the Seventh Seal has been broken. That’s the difference between us and that’s why you…
