Subject: Survival

I will be straight to the point.

It is not sustainable for GameStop to operate a money losing business. The mission is to operate hyper efficiently and profitably. Our expense structure must allow us to endure any adverse scenario. Whether it’s a difficult economy or revenue deceleration from shrinking software, we must be profitable. Our job is to make sure GameStop is here for decades to come. Extreme frugality is required. Every expense at the company must be scrutinized under a microscope and all waste eliminated. The company has no use for delegators and money wasters. I expect everyone to treat company money like their own and lead by example.

Prospering in retail means survival. If we survive, we stay in the game. Survival is avoiding the deadly sins that often lead retailers to self-destruct. This is usually a result of the following - buying bad inventory, using leverage, and running expenses too high. By avoiding these self-inflicted mistakes and focusing on the basics, GameStop can be here for a long time.

I expect everyone to roll up their sleeves and work hard. I’m not getting paid, so I’m either going down with the ship or turning the company around. I much prefer the latter.

It won’t be easy. Best of luck to us all.

        I’m not sure what you mean? We have a different moderation style than Superstonk and than Reddit.

        From an admin level, we will not be limiting any content unless it’s illegal in nature. At a community level, we encourage open discussion and for users to engage openly and to seek the truth together. If you open a community here, you will be able to moderate however you choose (so long as illegal content is controlled for, to avoid liability for myself and other admins). All of this is detailed more in the Instance Policies stickypost.

        Here on Lemmy, you’ll know what I’m saying is true to how we are acting because all admin and moderation logs are transparent.
