GameStop, the once-thriving retail giant, has been on a steady decline in recent years. The company's financial woes are well-documented, with store closures and layoffs becoming increasingly common. What's often overlooked in these discussions is the plight of GameStop employees, who are often paid poverty wages and forced to work in demanding conditions.
According to Glassdoor, the average hourly wage for GameStop employees in the United States is $10.50. This is significantly lower than the national average hourly wage of $15.66, and even lower than the average hourly wage for retail workers ($12.66).
The low wages at GameStop are a major pain point for employees. Many struggle to make ends meet, and some are forced to rely on government assistance programs to supplement their income.
Low wages are not the only issue facing GameStop employees. The company has also been criticized for its poor working conditions. Employees often complain about long hours, mandatory overtime, and a lack of training.
The lack of training is particularly troubling, as it can lead to errors that can cost GameStop money. For example, a recent study by the National Retail Federation found that cashier errors cost retailers an average of $450 per year.
GameStop is a profitable company that can afford to pay its employees a living wage. The company has a responsibility to do right by its workers, and it's time for GameStop to step up and make a change.
Here are a few things that GameStop can do to improve the lives of its employees:
