    I was actually thinking about applying for bestbuy soon due to wanting to work with tech, but I think this was a really good informative video.
    I think I'll just work for my mom at her restaurant! Keep up the amazing work!!!!

      Management has changed a lot in 10 years and if I hadn't been fired, I would've gone back just to bring in a paycheck. I would've just kept my ambitions here.

    I really enjoyed this being that I have great nostalgia for Best Buy and the early 2000s.

    I was 34 years old when I decided to go back to school, that time for business. I got my BS in Business Management degree in 2018. Still had the debt from 4 years at the Art Institute hanging over me, but with a lot of hard work I still think it was a great choice. I think you would be good at it too.
    From what I understand and my knowledge, some of your ideas were decent, but it really hard to tell not reading your documents, there are so many things in business to get right. Almost every idea in business fails. It is only the few that work, some more successful than others. If you got a formula that works, it best to keep with it, make small iterative and testable changes. Only make grand changes as a last resort. You were proposing grand changes.
    You totally lost me basing white collar workers.

      I was fully aware I was asking for sweeping changes and I knew it couldn't happen at once. I understand the logic behind the business, but not the gritty details. That's why I implemented stages in the second document. I genuinely sought people to pick apart my document and find the flaws, but since no one was serious about my proposal in the first place, I had to guess a lot.

    You spent more time in the building that replaced the house I grew up in, than I have, having never been on BBY campus! Your story is not unique-even friends who got paid a lot of money to create new opportunities & streams got most rejected. I actually opened the flagship store in Richfield in 1994 at $6.25/hr (PC sales), & then promptly fired 2 months later on my 18th birthday LMFAO!
