A subreddit for those who want to end work, are curious about ending work, want to get the most out of a work-free life, want more information on anti-work ideas and want personal help with their own jobs/work-related struggles.
So a week or two back I went into GameStop for the usual trade in, and saw they were hiring. I asked about it and they offered me an interview on the spot because a friend works there. I sit there for about 10-15 mins and her walks in and tells me to “sell me this game” I go on talking about the story and the gameplay and he stops me and is like “yeah but you need to use salesperson tactics” I am literally stunned when he says this. Keep in mind this is a GameStop retail job for about $10 an hour where I live. He then goes on about how positions and regional management works (I only wanted a normal crew position). He then wastes more of my time for another 15 mins and brings out another game and is like “sell me this game” and I try asking more questions like is he a fan of this genre etc. and he stops me AGAIN and says “you forgot to ask me who it’s for, the system I play on, you need to be a salesperson” he then wastes my time and says to apply online at another location (which I got no response from either).
Like wow. No wonder companies like that are going obselete, apprantly employees even get FIRED if they don’t convince enough poor souls to buy the power up membership. You go to a retail store for a job expecting retail questions, not trying to sell a house lmao.
