liberation

As of right now, this moment, this very minute! I am officially no longer employed by blockbuster. Lately my hatred for this company has disconnected my mind from my body. I've literally been sick because I cant get get that place off my mind. BUT after looking at finances I decided to quit since all the stores around mine have closed and all hope for me was lost.

Liberated I feel good.

I just officially put in my one month notice because I actually like my store manger and I'm giving her time to find someone new.

All stores but mine in the area have just shut down and I had a feeling I would possible be getting fired so I figured I'd quit so I can find a new job and not have a "fired" on my record. Plus if i really need money my mom is loaded down in Florida so I'm not worried.

I forgot to take one of my movies back on time and sadly our dm does fire for this. It was my second time in 18 months.

Naw it was really only my second time.. but my account was all blocked in crap so I figured I would just leave anyways.. Everyone in my store is depressed because how my manager is and HR and the DM never do anything about it so I just parted ways.. manager lies to customers saying 3$ bundles are 2$ and that 5$ and 3$ i've even told my DM recently and hmmmm now my account is blocked? Weird... last girl who called HR on my boss was fired shortly after...

Well HR for this company isn't what it is supposed to be.

Real HR is for employee's to talk to resolve issues inside the company, hear what employee's have to say, and to help keep employee's jobs. In BBV all they do is just fire people. Period. I don't think i've ever seen anyone fire an employee ever (ASM, SM, DM, RDO, LP) other than HR.

in my old store's district, it was DM or HR. the DM who managed that district for the majority of its existence would often having "firing quotas". every 3-4 months, she would tell every SM to find their weakest employee, report their name to her and she would fire them.

even though the idea was rather ridiculous, honestly... it did weed out the lazy bums.

everyone else was fired from HR, usually for stuff like relationships or unproven accusations from LP.
