GameStop is running on fumes. If they close down their stores, they will completely lose their business. By staying open, they are at least collecting some revenue.
Also, these employees should be thankful they even have a job right now. Many retail / service industry jobs have laid off their staff.
- redblacktree 7y agoShould they? They're out there being unnecessarily exposed to potential infection. If they were laid off, they'd be eligible for unemployment benefits.
- iNate2000 7y agoAren't unemployment benefits usually a fraction of actual wages? How much does GameStop pay?
- xnyan 7y agoMy understanding is in this situation, the right thing to do is to offer the employee the "opportunity" to be laid off. Several companies are doing this, it allows the worker to choose between reduced employment benefits from UE insurance at the benefit of less exposure to C19 or earning more money. Most people I know that are making an hourly wage have chosen to be laid off if they had the option.

- city41 7y agoThe writing has been on the wall for GameStop for quite some time. Amazon and digital sales have made them pretty irrelevant and not much can be done. Just how capitalism goes.
