Best Buy fired me for no good reason. Of coarse they had a tendencey to fire everyone who made too much money and replace them with teenagers for $7 an hour. All they had to do if they wanted to get rid of you was find a reason to write you up as a final warning and then find a reason to write you up again. I worked on the Services department as a PC tech. They tried to cross train us to fix VCR's but to be honest, we knew nothing about them and found it difficult to cross train the AV/techs to fix computers. Of all the guys who worked in the Services department when I was there only 1 did not get fired. Of all the ones that got fired they were all there for at least 2 years or more and made in the neighborhood of $10 an hour. The replacements were teenagers and I know they only made around $7 because some told me and when I started I made $7 an hour. They didn't even have to have an A+ certification. All they had to do was pass a lame test with a few simple questions. Thank you for rewarding 3 years of faithful service with a kick in the rump!
