Anand said:So I tried to pre-order the Monster Hunter New 3DS at (ugh) GameStop today, and they said that the pre-orders were online-only. So I'd have to pay shipping AND tax. Meh.
And after I honored a retail store with my benevolence!
I guess I could pay the whole thing off and get it shipped for free, but it would take a week longer? And it's probably going to sell out while I waffle. Ugh. |

@deathly_hallowsThank you very much. It's heartbreaking, because it's a position that took me 4 years of working my ass off in the 110 degree Las Vegas summers to get promoted into... Never late, barely no call outs in all that time, no drama whatsoever. This new young manager took over last year, replacing the best boss I've ever worked for, and I knew he seemed shady. He basically just forced me and four amazing people below me out so that he could promote or hire all of his shitty friends into the position instead. The one who I know was this lazy SOB who didn't even pretend to care about his job last season, was rude to the guests, and came in late or called out as he pleased, apparently without punishment. It's going to be hard to move on to better things, because I never had a job that was so fun, rewarding, and high paying... We're talking tips anywhere from $200-500 per day. The worst part is that I only got to work this high position for one season, so now even the experience doesn't look like much, and the fact that I wasn't rehired makes me look like it as due to my performance or personality. That isn't the case for me or any of the other great people he just screwed over. Thanks for the kind words, and thanks for letting me rant. I really haven't talked about it much with anybody, and I'm just now starting to feel the grief. |

@HinphWow that sucks! What an ass (the new manager). Something similar happened to me a couple of years ago, my awesome boss of 7 years left and then a new guy came in but he was a horrible manager and a total creep, made off-color comments to all the women and literally every female in the department quit after a few months (small team, about 8 or 9 people). Everyone he hired to replace them was an incompetent sycophant that made life unbearable so eventually all of the "old-guard" male employees quit too, including me. So it's not the same because I wasn't fired, but I felt like I was basically forced to leave, and all of my friends who I had worked with for years were scattered. Most of us landed good jobs so in the end it was fine, it took me over a year but I eventually was able to go freelance and now I work for myself which is awesome, but it was a hard transition. My best advice is to hang in there, eventually you'll find something, maybe it won't quite as good but you never know, could be better. I thought I'd never find a job that I liked as much, and maybe I never will, but it forced me to grow and do something I never would have had the guts to do before, so sometimes good things can come crappy situations, there's usually some silver lining, even if there are tons of cons there are also pros to every situation. Good luck! |
