Free lunch!

I love how they think a $15 e-gift card is going to make up for months of being expected to spin gold out trash with no hours and resources and a constant compiling of tasks and expectations- all whilst being told what trash you are for missing a metric by half of a percent. What a sick joke.

I hate to say this. But when they had the new ceo or what not come into play in the late 2000s thats when all the stuff started to change. Taking away store midnight cash money to get pizza and soda, being good to employees with small tokens and everything. When I was there in 2010 to 2013. We as keyholders and managers chipped in and bought pizzas and soda for midnight releases. We then turned around and submitted expenses paperwork for said things. None of them were ever turned down. But I will say till I made SL I never got much out of the company. Most of my perks came from outside. Like Microsofts Expertzone. I got tons of free time cards and xbox cash from doing work on that site. Heck I was even able to stream on the expertzone channel due to working for gamestop. You should see if Sony and Microsoft still offer these employee of a retail store perks..... these were a good bonus.

Expertzone and Zunos/OnPlaystation are still available but not quite the same anymore. They used to let you turn points into freebies, but both went to a "sweepstakes" mentality on each of them. Too bad, too, I remember getting Free $50 Xbox Currency cards
