My name is DeDampkring. I worked at BB for 3 years and was driven out by an incompetent District Manager, unreasonable sales quotas, terrible pay, pathetic benefits, and no raises for 3 years.

Hi my name should be SophiesMom but hey what's a typo between friends. I was with the company for 15 and a half years. My last "open" shift is tomorrow. I am beyond sad at the demise of my store and the many others that are closing due to the upper management's total incompetence. The Jedi Council is a good thing LISTEN to your store level employees they know what your customers want and it is not the same thing in Iowa as it is in New York City! Please stop the cookie cutter goals and products.
I wish everyone that is staying all the best. I hope all goes well and as I tell my kids everyday treat people the way you wish to be treated! Everyone needs a raise ASAP!

I'm angrYbird. I worked for big blue for 11years and was fired because my ASM felt the need to tell my DL that I "violated company policy". I learned that verbal approvals from your DL mean nothing and that the SOP rules all of bb...if you burn it, Dish customers will come

Hi I'm UnderPressure (which I really am), like everyone else has said please please get the store level employees input and please please either get rid of DMs & RDOs or send them to sensitivity courses because I've said this before, but I've worked 35 years and have never been treated so badly by a company as the old Blockbuster. It's no fun to worry about your job every single day because you didn't sell enough candy bundles but still made enough money on other stuff. The SM knows his store, get their inputs and BB482 has heard it all from us,so get his input too...

Yo, I'm djblade! I'm pretty much like a lot of these employees in this thread. No need to repeat. We all have our hate yet we are very hard workers. I love competition, help come up with ideas and go beyond position. Sometimes its not about the money but accomplishment.

My name is Woodstock, and I am a manager. Been with Blockbuster for 10 years, and have seen a lot of changes. Here are some tips - raises would be nice. I take pride in my job, and do my best to train and encourage my staff so that they are productive employees. Being able to order supplies (like toilet paper) and get it in would be a bonus. Listen to the staff of the stores, and stop cookie cutting us. My DL made us shift around our PRP and sell thru, and then got mad at us when our sales dropped. Focus on Game trades, most people do not know that we offer it, and it might help to advertise it. When games come out for sale - send us some extras so that we can sell it to people that don't pre order the game.
