My hero!



i hope they go and go soon! i used to work there for about 10 years and all i got for the last few years was nothing but threats of “disciplinary action” if a staff members figures aren’t quiet up to scratch!

I remember one time id try to upsell an offer to a customer (you know the 2 NR, 2 cokes and popcorn for 10 euro etc ) all those type of offers and even thou the customer didn’t want it, it was my fault! Apparently I wasn’t “happy” enough upselling it! Haha what a effing joke, I think I know how to upsell an offer.

I remember having a chat to the d**k of a manager about the new changes in XV and how I felt that they were going down the same route as chartbusters (internet in shops, tanning booths in some stores and how I felt that there wasn’t much left in XV and he goes away and reports me to HR saying I was a disruptive staff member and how he has concerns about me driving the business forward! (this coming after months of me refusing to engage in any kind of conversation with him about my personal life after he insults my wife when he found out she was pregnant, he muttered something under his breath thinking I didn’t hear him, but I did!) the slimy git!

Anyway, they wanted to have a more “formal” meeting with me to discuss these but I had decided to go for voluntary redundancy so that wasn’t going to happen. Cant give me a warning if im not working with them

The problem was I didn’t and couldn’t complain about him as another staff who he also insulted did complain after he made a personal remark/insult about him and nothing happened, besides who would they believe…a “disruptive” member of staff or a “fine upstanding member of staff who has always loved working for XV and wishes to work there for many more years to come” the moron

XV as a company don’t care about their staff, I know this from personal experience and its not just me, Ive known others who have left because of the way the operate/talk to/treat their staff. All they care about is how much money they make and are willing to sell ANYTHING to bring customers in, including tacky euro store crap!

And i totally agree with previous posts that the hierarchy of XV dont have a clue on how to run things, they have never worked in a store and have no idea how things are on the ground. they sit on the arse's barking orders at store staff to do x,y and z when in reality stores are under staffed, the staff that are still working are over worked (not to mentioned under paid) and while trying to catch up on things, they send in audit to try and catch you out and you end up getting a verbal warning.

Don’t get me wrong, I genuinely liked working there, sure I was there for nearly 10 years. I love watching films (i have nearly 400) and playing games and im big in to my gadgets so when ever we got a new tablet/tv/mp3 player etc, id be the first to take a look at it for just so id know about it if any customers would come in asking about it. I also still have many friends who still work for XV and there telling the same kinda things are going on.

XV dont deserve the staff that they have, ive worked in a few different stores and the staff in them are hard working, honest and really nice people and for a company to s**t on them they way they do is simply wrong!

It really is an employers market.....

As sad as I would be for my friends to lose there jobs, I really hope XV dies and dies soon!

Rant over...god that feels good
