Don't argue with corporate. Just say "yes sir" then do what you know works for you. Don't go out of your way to let them know you have kept doing it your own way. And if they ask you say "we are doing our very best." And start saving up to go independent.

Pretty difficult on a GW wage

GW doesn't want good managers, they want good sales drones

GW are just largely made up of petty assholes.

*Salutes* r.i.p. Dennis, he was a good lad and a hero. Edit: i imagine Dennis's Orkz are taken good care of and whenever its his birthday they all raise their drinks and cry out Waaaaaagh! In honour of their dear friend and Propah Ork

this was the best episode so far. Hats off to those boys even with losing a friend they kept the group together, i will drink a beer to that and well done. Keep supporting each other as there's people out there who need it and suffer in silence

I hope that manager takes the sales analytics from his new store and sends it to GW along with video of rubbing his nipples with the data on a printout. This is what you could of won!

would be a nice "fuck you i was right" message to GW to not break what is working, i.e making alot of money for them.

This is all true, me being a player over 25+ yrs GW stores have done these things even in the USA. A district manager would come to are store 3 Saturday of every month, and say GW does not support in store gaming period. Since this store has a monthly calender online stating every saturday, I told this district manager that if he continues GW could be sued buy every gamer and customer that shops at this store. He turned white and left the store right then and there and never returned, saving are gaming store and place to play. 😁

The way you reacted to a lot of stories is just hilarious, that makes me want to come back and listen to more stories.

9:49 my brother and his battle brothers (us marine) played Call of Duty and halo a lot while he was in Afghanistan when they weren’t working.

Excellent stuff yo. That last one was especially inspiring 🍻good on that manager for taking control back in the store and running it his way. Good times. Cheers and thnx again.

God....the more stuff I hear about games workshop the more their work model seems like that of a caveman! There are telephone companys that treat their customer better than these people. What absolute regression "yeah, you won us 10k by selling that expensive kit but you gave for free that actually cheap to make kit that usually just sits on the shelf, bench you didn't make us 10.1k, you are a failure", "you made a shop generate us a s ton of money but you didn't do it our way so you wrong, no the fact our way makes almost zero in real life doesn't count" dude! Their disconnect is amazing, if GW didn't own such a strong IP, they would have disappeared years ago.

We play war differently from the ones in charge. Our soldiers have no life to give and go back into the same box as the ones who survived.

With the shops shifting away from games I'd wondered why GW didn't start setting up clubs in community centres and the like to encourage people to play. That manager's story probably explains why.

GW started Warhammer Alliance to help after school programs, church, library groups to get started with a kit. Wish they gave more.

How has this type of behavior been allowed to continue by the shareholders? If the shareholders discovered how incompetent the senior regional management are, and how much money they cost the company, I am very certain they would demand to clean house of these people.

Grail! Sound awesome! And sounds like a manager we once had here in Tucson. Called him big jon (he's nearly 7' tall) and it was the golden age of GW in this city. Though the last year of his employment, he was jaded due to GW management and most players flaking on participating in events he'd put together. There's a nice dude there now but no one really goes there anymore. There's only 1 table and really no events.

Props to those guys continuing the hobby in a WARZONE! That's just inspiring. Let nothing stand in the way of you and your hobby community! Also, why does GW seem to always have such toxic managers/ trainers? Do they intentionally hire people with those traits, or is it just that they're the kind of people to play the sleazy, cliquish, corporate game?

I was chatting to a Denys from Ukraine a few months back - he builds large titans out of card and stuff I think. Wonder if it's the same Denys...

It baffles the crap out of me that GW treats its stores like this. I'm used to it as long time GW customer, but their stores? It's just crazy.

Wow that was sad as thanks for sharing that

Howdy North, have a great ride to Wales brother 👍 😎

Some times its just nice to do some thing nice for some one, A few times ive been in a game store and had some onbe thats 16 be like can u get me cod. I said give me the cash after, Thats a lie i dontwant their money And ive just paid for it myself and gave it them Happend to me a few times back in the day so time to pass it on Just feels nice to help people out, and i've played the games useally so i know their fine they just want to play online with their friends. I just wish other people in this country liked helping peopl;e have had a few times where i have had to help elderly that have fell in the street and no one would help me help them disguests me

30:00 All this tells me is that they want their stores to fail for some reason, to make less profit (as in the stores you pay 100% MSRP while every other place is cheaper; which means that longterm customers only buy there for store-loyalty. Loyalty that has to be built and maintained. Paying 100% MSRP is basically paying a tip for good service. Whatever GW is trying to achieve with this, it is something else than they're telling, because what they're telling makes no sense and they must know it. I have never witnessed a company with such open disdain for its customers. "Eww, people coming into our stores! What icky diseases might they have!? Shoo shoo! Out with you!"

Jeez someone got the person in the second story Moonstone models! Those things are as expensive as they are gorgeous.

So was that first guy in the military? He is of "fighting age"...

I think I saw the obituary for 'Historian' not long ago on a forum. Shit sucks.

Hello buddy, any time you will make a San Diego gaming con soon. I have been playing since Rouge Trader, and hope to face you in a little game 2,000 pts. No holds barred, if its Games WorkShop printed even Forge World, No problem. Just a game for fun and content, with 2 men with the same hearts. Really please.

Rest in power

That story about Ukraine…wow, just wow. That was a warrior’s death, nothing to be sad about there. Qa’pla 🇬🇧💜🇺🇦

lol "we don't know their mental state". Same can be said of any customer, including new ones. Ergo, let's close the doors and ban all customers!

So then, maybe a better strategy for your Warhammer hobby is to just ignore what you cant ever change, which is GW corporate culture. This is not an apology for GW or criticism of people who want to hold GW accountable for their poor treatment of their employees or people such as myself that mock them for their many self inflicted failures. Woodworking is my other major hobby but I dont diminish my enjoyment of woodworking by agonizing over the inflated cost of tools and materials. I guess I am really saying that you can really put too much energy and time into the negative aspects of this hobby because it easy to wind yourself up over GW. Definitely made this mistake many times myself.

When your trainer insists on you taking them out for pints: get them absolutely wasted and take video

It's funny how they ridicule the mental state of the customers when it's clearly the HQ staff that have the mental issues trying to tear down anything anyone does

"No fun allowed" - Games workshop

For the Algorithm!

40K is a hobby nightmare. So much toxicity, such a rotten dumpster fire of a profit driven scam

I really do not get GW. Why not just be nice and friendly to the community who love what you do? Maybs it is true what you had said before, GWs run by bitter nerds who are "giving it back" (it being bullying, unfortunately)

I enjoy your content, and these stories are fun, but man the tone of self-congratulating that slips through sometimes is nearly unbearable. I'm glad you're proud and happy with what you've made, but please try to reign in some of the masturbatory ramblings.
