Your story doesn’t surprise me. I’ve been to the ‘new’ Castle Hill store once. It was not a nice experience for me or my partner. I got pestered/offended while my fiancee was ignored.

Well shit. I’ll just torrent all the fucking books then. I’ll be damned if I give GW another fucking dollar.

Way back in 2003 I was fired from my red-shirt job at a GW in Southern California for what were probably similar reasons, in that I didn’t ‘fit’. The silver lining to the story is that when my manager fired me he didn’t give me all my wages that were then owed, which you had to do in the state when you fire someone. It took them, no joke, a month to get me last paycheck. I filed a complaint with the state labor board, who in turn fined GW for my daily average pay for the course of that month. I got the money and a few months later the manager got fired for making the same mistake again with a different employee.

Getting fired by GW sucked, but at least I stuck it back to ‘em.

Reddit as well.

Idiocy happens in any company, no matter how good, and I have, sadly, not heard all that much good wrt GW’s internal policies.

I worked as one of the new trainee managers in the gw store in metrocentre, uk. I was bullied, pressured and constantly threatened with the sack for not being savvy enough with their 10 commandments despite exceeding kpi’s by a long way. I was hired on a 3 month probation, this was extended to 4 months. I was fired on the fifth month after essentially being told I wasn’t hard-sell enough. I met my manager on about 8 occasions over 5 months as he was constantly on dodgey holidays or managers meetings, or I was off running shops across the country and spending weeks at a time in a piss poor hotel away from my family, therefore I received little in the way of training.

Their whole outfit is turning into some ruthless hard sell operation, and judging by the finecast, embargo and white dwarf controversies as well as the price hike, I’m kinda glad I’m out.
