GameStop just sent this out:quote:Our GameStop teams continue to work hard to ensure we're meeting your gaming, home entertainment and virtual connectivity needs. We want to make sure pre-ordering and picking up your favorite products is safe, simple and easy. That's why we're happy to provide a few options to help simplify the delivery of your order if your GameStop store is closed due to local or state government mandates. Not that anyone will read it, but this is what I replied: THis is ghoulish as gently caress. Respect that your employees are human beings and let them go home. gently caress.

They were about Hobby Lobby being absolute shitheads in closing stores and firing employees via email. Basically telling them that Hobby Lobby would empty their lockers and deliver their belongings to them with their final paycheck once they surrendered their badges/any Hobby Lobby apparel (uniforms/aprons/etc.).

You get one or two t-shirts/hats/polos/whatever poo poo that you have to wear every day, get a uniform fee docked off your first paycheck, and have to buy more on your own dime if they get hosed up or if you don't want to be constantly washing your one mandatory shirt. Hell half my gym clothes are just old BRAND t-shirts. Good managers will just hand them out because they mean literally nothing to the company's bottom line, but most people in restaurant and retail don't get to be manager by treating their fellow employees like people. Hell, the loving military docks your paychecks during basic training for your initial uniforms and boots. e: plus you're just kind of expected to provide things. Like restaurants will (justifiably) require non-slip shoes for kitchen work, but you have to buy them yourself. Loads of places will issue you a black shirt and then give you specifics for black or khaki pants that you have to wear to work, and again, you have to go out and buy yourself the pants that will get hosed up and be useless for anything except gross kitchen work.

I know that many horrible U.S. employers make employees buy there own uniforms, and it is legal to do so, but at least theoretically, they’re not supposed to have their cake and eat it too. If Hobby Lobby made their employees buy garments, those garments are property of the employees and can’t be clawed back. It’s pretty likely that Hobby Lobby once again doesn’t give a poo poo about the law. I can’t imagine them not making employees pay for the uniforms.

We appreciate your concern for our employees’ safety. i missed the "extra hourly wage" part so i guess the salaried managers aren't the ONLY ones getting any extra but i still feel this is a bullshit nonresponse when i was specifically asking if they were giving paid time off to covid-affected workers tbh InediblePenguin has a new favorite as of 15:00 on Apr 4, 2020 |

It’s utter bullshit. My company is only giving full time employees a couple hundred, part timers less, and anything more than two weeks of CONFIRMED covid-19 will require HR review plus still having to use your vacation/sick leave then medical leave if you go beyond that. They’re promising not to fire people who are scared to come in, but you’ll still be forced to blow through your time then be unpaid. In the meantime they’re hiring temps for front-of-house because so many employees are either sick, have sick family, have no choice but to stay home for kids out of school, etc. One employee was told by their doctor to isolate last month and they had to get their doctor’s note redone to SPECIFICALLY indicate suspected covid-19 because HR tried to push back and refuse to pay out. The doctors refused to actually test them because they never had the dry cough. It’s just catch 22s all the way down.

Only healthcare entities can violate HIPAA. It has no force on anyone else.
