I assume that everything they’re selling us is made of spiders. 3 out of every 4 seeds in a bag are actually spider eggs.

As a fellow arachnophobe, I was absolutely NOT prepared for the first attack last night. Scared the ever lovin’ hell outta me. I did end up catching the second attacker to imprison it for life in Blather’s gulag as soon as I drop it off at the grand opening today.

They called it "essential retail" bud. Them buckling under pressure isn't a " good on them" scenario, they behaved ghoulishly.

They waited until after they made their huge profit off all the 1 dollar pre-orders for Doom and Animal Crossing.  There was nothing good about this whatsoever.  

don’t praise gamestop. don’t you dare.

Good for them for doing the right thing after running out of wrong things to do, at least within the bounds of reason.

That’s not a conclusion. A conclusion would be closing the stores entirely. There’s no valid reason for them remaining open. There’s nothing “essential” about Gamestop.

Oh god Schreier’s powers have grown... Dissatisfied with merely canceling games he can now cancel stores! GameStop! What will we do! Wait actually this one’s OK carry on..

Just the final herb in the garden for many of those poor g/omestop employees

I’m not sure I mind this as much as I thought I would, but I definitely think that the sturdy tools should not require me to have to craft a flimsy first.  It should have a secondary recipe that just uses the amount of resources it would take to do the two-step.

Roughly, if he gave every employee $2000 a month for two months it would cost him about $20 million. That is a drop in the bucket for these out of touch money hoarders. Any billionaire who isn’t supporting their employees through this is a piece of shit.

Do you know that this guy’s net worth is almost three billion dollars...? He wouldn’t have a penny of that without his workers. I think he/the company should have offered some sort of part -wage stipend for a few months at least, and perhaps at least offered health insurance for even the part-time/contractors- which…

when does the violence begin? when are the guillotines rolled out? when do the voiceless, powerless, trodden upon masses rise up?

Hypothetically fuck this hypothetical guy.

Yes. Fuck that one oddly specific guy, indeed.

WTF.

Reminds me of how I got laid off of my last job.

My manager sent me an e-mail the night before, setting up a conference call with me, and saying that he had “some exciting opportunities” to talk to me about.

The F***er told me to pack my desk on that call.  Still pissed about that.

To put this in perspective the founder of Cirque du Soleil and who owns most of the company, Guy Laliberté’s net worth is estimated at $2.5-billion.

Why do I suspect that this dude, as well as the company’s governing board, are going to get their usual bonuses this year?

We will remember you, any company that tosses employees this carelessly and crazily will never get a dollar of mine.
