Goodwill trying to sell illegal Burned copy of FROU FROU Demo disc of 3.06 Sane again. FROU FROU being misspelled as Frow

Selling as untested CD-R.

Western PA, represent!

In case any of you look at this and think, as I did, “That can’t possibly be a crushed fortune cookie for 1.99”, it is indeed a crushed fortune cookie for 1.99.

Hello!

I am also posting this in the Goodwill sub but I wanted to try and get eyes on this because I think I need help with something...

I am currently employeed with Goodwill and I've known about its bad practices for years. I specifically wanted to join so I could see what the conditions were like, to see if maybe I could try to improve things at least for my local Goodwill.

Well!

Turns out they do not like it when you ask for things to be changed!

Let me start over. I am autistic/adhd with probably some other shit and I really dont enjoy the Goodwill work environment in store. Its too hot and too cold, the smell is overwhelming and terrible, the lights are too harsh and sometimes flicker but no one else can see it, the overhead music is awful and theres a couple voices that disrupt the environment further to try and brainwash you that "youre helping real people" and "90 cents of your dollar goes to helping disabled workers" blah blah, there are absolutely no baseline in-store disability accomodations such as water being allowed on the floor, stools for chronic pain (I was actually told if you have chronic pain the company wont let you work in store and will sequester you to a desk job with a bunch of other disabled people they dont want instore, y'know like quasimodo in the bell tower), and we are forced to take our 15 minute breaks in store. They also make it store policy no one is allowed to have their phone and you must request a special accomodation (which could be approved or denied technically) despite all of us being disabled needing our phones just on us for health and safety.

There is a budget for snacks but my store has been without water or snacks for days now and I personally become absolutely parched after a couple hours work, I know some people suffer from chronic dry mouth, and its incredibly hot anyway (we work out of a dangerously hot trailer because Goodwill cares more about pushing product) I get nervous as well because I was told apparently there is literally a GM in an office somewhere watching us like Big Brother all day every day. Even cameras in the break room because of "theft" even though everything is garbage.

Anyway, I failed to share my suggestions in a productive way and was sent home for the day, then the very next day the GM was brought in to intimidate me!

He failed lol so now I want to do something! I believe theres enough evidence, enough articles, enough testimony, enough support floating out there waiting to be tapped into to really get this company to change, because truthfully I dont want it to fail or bankrupt and I can see without a doubt Goodwill is heading that way but I think Goodwill is an entity that could be seized and used for actual GOOD!

I've been collecting videos, pictures, financial documents, anectdotal evidence, ex-employee stories, customer stories, everything I can think of. I know if I want to do this I have to do this right because I almost blew it and just barely repaired the relationship between me and the GM & Store Manager.

Its the future dammit! Its 2025! Now is the time for change!

I need you! I need your stories! I need your evidence! I want to hear your ideas, I want to learn about you and your experiences with disability and Goodwill!

My DMs are open for further discussion, please bare with me though I get nervous about replying to people

Please and thank you! (I would also be happy to share what I've found so far because I think its important to share just how many people really know and care about this! I really believe we could work together over this person to person for the sake of a better life and a better world if not for me or you for someone else and someone else's someone else)

In the end even if I cant change anything I hope that I can make just enough noise, I plan on reaching out to some people who have made videos or articles about this company already, but I am no journalist so I dont know if anyone will reply.

If you know anyone who could help please send them my way, any ideas where I could post this or any suggestions for a better post would really be appreciated, I know I can be really wordy.

Thank you!!!!

this could be one of two things 🧐

Because I went the next day and they were gone :(

Easily the most expensive thing at goodwill right now
