Gamestop cancel employee dance-off for Black Friday hours after Backlash

[killamch89]

I'm not sure why they ever considered this stupid idea in the first place. The whole idea came across to me as a very demoralizing concept - this certainly doesn't do well for employee morale.

 Well, wouldn't it be fun for them to dance 😛 and get paid for dancing. What idea is that, what will make them to get more traffic going to the store.

I'm thinking that they got the name backwards when they founded it. I think their initial name was StopGames as they seem to be anti-gaming as well as anti-intelligence.

You know...this isn't a half bad theory at all. Half the things Gamestop does are so anti consumer and downright ridiculous, it's a miracle they stayed in business long enough for Microsoft to buy them out.

Why the hell would they even do this shit in the first place?

There's no explanation for absolute stupidity - I'm yet to see how this would have actually benefited the company or its employees...

What next? gamestop competing with hooters? I mean dancebar, and the hookers is what is left now. But then again, it's their survival method. Not sure how that goes.

You know, it's funny - I almost envisioned this as a more mild version of how they treat hookers at a strip club...

Yeah and the worst part is that it does not even match the business model. I mean I can imagine hookers in ice cream parlour but not in tech shop where we actually don't need to see boobs and booty to make decision on the games, screen size, RAM etc. Tech has no place for the provocative figures when making sane purchases.

No, there is only one song that sends the proper message to the executives at GameStop who thought this was a good idea:

This one made me crack up just now...

Haha both of those videos pretty much sums it up. I think what gamestop is doing is what they ridicule in sharktank. Pretty horrible business managers gamestop is having.
