An email with an embedded search function? I don’t think I’ve run into that yet, as far as I can remember.

Best Buy is the Showroom.

They're not even a storeroom anymore.

The supply chain disruptions caused by the fake pandemic have resulted in empty shelves at my local Best Buy. TVs, printers, game consoles, you name it. All out of stock.

Really? lol

I wouldn’t know. Been years since I’ve been inside a Best Buy.

Basically: "you can take off work if you need to do some rioting in order to deal with this".

P.S. "Please don't loot our store".

Nevermind - I’d guess that is a message center on a website someone’s logged into. Not really an email, more like an internal mass message. Doesn’t change the idiotic idea behind it, tho.

Can I take off a couple of days to mourn the injuries of the Louisville cops who were shot last night instead? < /crickets>

They have the same corporate colors (blue and yellow) as Blockbuster did. Just sayin.

Newegg seems politically neutral, but is Chinese owned.

I just recently gave Best Buy a 1 star review. So glad I did.

“I worked at BB in the geek squad briefly...”

The geeks that called the police if they found something untoward on a pc they were repairing?

“What kind of idiots are running the companies in this country”!!!

Politically correct, appeasing, ass kissing sheep.

They are like a sheep asking the wolf “what’s for dinner”.

Right.

I don’t remember when I was last in a Best Buy but it’s been a long time. Now I know I’ll never go back.

Politics in the workplace is never a good thing. Those who decide to take time off will loathe those who don’t, and vice versa.

The email didn't say if it was paid time off, but I assume it is. Seems to me they would have to give all employees the same time off if it is paid or they would run afoul of DOL rules.

When three cops in my Dept were killed in the line of duty I was not given time off to grieve.

What kind of idiots are running the companies in this country!!!

Corporate America is terrified of the Twitter mob. It's easier to appease them than to risk trending negatively on social media.

Additionally, being compelled by law to create executive positions for otherwise unqualified minorities to have a "board room that looks like America" results in a lot of "Executive Director of Diversity and Inclusion" offices that push this nonsense as they have nothing else to do.

“systemic racism that mainfests itself in the death of a black man or woman.

It’s very clear that the management wanted all three cops convicted and executed.

Free “mental health” services. They mean emotional stability. It’s amazing how many people fall apart and need emotional support.

At one time there were friends and family who would understand and provide support, and prevent the individual from hurting himself or others. No pills. No screaming at the night sky.

No use boycotting. They’re all doing it. It would be nice if a few companies would say something about the cops being shot. But not a word. Not even Black cops. Or female Black cops. The hatred for cops IS emotional illness.

I highly doubt it's paid time off. The email says they will honor ALL time off requests.

I doubt that empty Best Buys care much when employees ask for a day off. I'm sure they have no problem filling the shift.
