Gamestop Buys EB

[NESJunkie]

What's funny about this is that I don't work at EB anymore. Quit about 6 weeks ago. Most of us saw something like this coming down the pipe, but not this soon, in about 4 or 5 years. I think it'll suck for current EB managers, and here's why:

Now that I dont work there anymore I can talk more details. EB Managers on average make 8-10k more a year then gamestop managers. Hence in an area where there is one of each the EB will get closed. Or if the gamestop gets closed, the gamestop manager will take over for the EB manager because he is cheaper.

I really find this quiet odd now that there is no competition. That was half the reason EB made polocies about anything, was to outsell gamestop. I can only believe that the majority stockholder, and the founder of EB, was offered roughly 700million for his shares and he said, hell I'll take it! I know I would.

I am glad I do not work there anymore so I don't have to worry about this crap. My store wouldnt' have gotten closed anyway, I dont have competition for 40 miles and my store made butt loads of profit. And yet, I never got bonuses. Hey maybe gamestop gives out bonuses.....ah hell I'm not going back.
