Jeez. That really sucks. Strange though, from my perspective, how much of an ass that manager was. The employees here in Ottawa are pretty damn nice though, and not too annoying. Sucks how you had to get stuck with a total asshole. Good luck on getting another job

Holy shit, I have been into this hobby for about the same amount of time, and only come like 5 years ago did things like this and there bs price hikes to milk there fans for money start to really surface and sink in for me. I am really sorry to hear that man. You should move over here to Canada, I dont know if the GW staff are better, but there isnt a GW store in my city just a hobby store and they are top notch guys.

You have an employement tribunal case right there. Except you have to lodge it within 90s days of firing. Also you can appeal the decision (do, even it it’s says no).

If you can get a Trade Union rep, then go to the ET based on unfair dismissal…

The reality is have you broken the rules as laid down?

Seriously people should not be so niave and treat all managers as scum that want to rape you.

Seen it, heard it before and tired of it happening.

There is no anti-trust protection. There is no law suits loosing your job. I worked in a “right to work state”. That states they can fire you and never give you a reason, much less need one. Thanks for playing, go collect your unemployment, etc…

Really do feel for you mate, i’m from the south and got a good earful this afternoon when I went in to pick up the latest Heresy book.

Customer service is a key, would really ask their direct sales training staff how they feel the GW experience compares with that of any other outlet/retail environment? Can they really expect that a quiet peaceful hobbiests that GW predominantly can be really want to be shouted at? Or kids with parents in tow? Or like me purely BL fiction readers who want the book, the change and a ‘its good that one’ and thats it?

Joy of joys they are on Amazon

Summary-rework the customer service skills please-they are dire

I just wanted to chime-in that I found this page from a post on 4Chan’s /tg/ (Traditional Games) Board.

Sounds like you got a raw deal there, Tim. I myself quit 40K shortly after starting, but it was more over my disgust at the power-creep (and GW’s SPASH MAHREEN favoritism, but let’s not go there) then at GW’s policies.

I have since come to loath the policies as well, and if I ever get back into the game (or any other GW product) I intend to buy everything either online from E-Bay or from other people selling second-hand.
