Gamestop Employee Fired For Planking

4.6
Unfortunately planking is not a laughing matter for some people and one unfortunate Gamestop employee has been fired after five years of service for planking within a Gamestop store. John Mazzocchi pictured below posted a picture of himself planking between two in-store kisoks and posted it with : When I go #planking I go hardcore..

Unfortunately some one within Gamestop management didn’t take kindly to the display of planking prowess and both John Mazzocchi and his colleague who took the photo where fired. The pair were probably made an example of by Gamestop management to stop other employees following suit.

If no one was in the store, I don't see why it would be a problem to do it once.

Also don't you think its quite harsh for his boss to fire him for that? He should of only gotten a warning or extra hours.

Harsh, but it's his job. He should be acting more professional. Must of been a boring day there...

When your on the job you look professional. game stop can fire over they want. If i owned a store i would want the most professional employees. slack off and you will get fired.

Planking is stupid, but to fire an employee that has been working for 5 years? kinda harsh.

-CaptainMactavish- Planking is stupid and now theres a new thing called Owling and its even worse

You're right they're both extremely stupid, although... I do like coning because its really funny to see their reactions.

yes, planking is stupid, but firing 2 dedicated employees is a bit harsh. A more fitting punishment would have been a pay dock or 2 weeks without pay or something.
