Vinyl Me Please (store, exclusives, swaps, etc)

I know. Read about this case maybe a year ago. Just saying as to “what does this mean?” in relation to the past few weeks, probably not a whole lot. It’s unlikely the settlement suddenly made them in financial trouble. They have been in trouble for a long time.

Yeah insurance takes care of things like this.

Insurance doesn't fix questionable and inexperienced leadership, company culture, and poor decision-making however.

Generally, no. Wrongful dismissal, human rights, employment related litigation isn't usually insurable.

Particularly today.

It has become all too easy, and all too common, for those who can get away with it to claim 'discrimination' when terminated to elicit a higher payout. It often works, because it is the hardest to disprove and among the worst for corporate reputation.

Just because it has settled doesn't mean there was money paid, or a substantial amount paid. Very often, as the claim winds through discoveries and hearings, reality and/or truth come into better focus.

Virtually all employment related litigation is on a contingency fee basis. If the litigating law firm has determined that the defendant is unlikely to be able to satisfy a judgement, they will work to settle as quickly as possible, on whatever terms are possible - including walking away to avoid incurring any more costs.

regardless of what happened, firing someone 3 days after they make a complaint about discrimination is uh probably not the right move to make.

^This

General rule of thumb is to discriminate and then fire BEFORE a complaint can be made. Bunch-o rubes.

Man they even gave a blanket ‘we’re working on your question just hold tight’ email right before—just like Bandbox. The prophecy has been fulfilled.

Melody is AI. As of last week there were at least two human CS agents

I took another shot in the dark and asked them if they had a Fleetwood disc and they said a replacement is being ordered. So that’s when I went to my account and saw the error. Think it’s just AI smoke and mirrors because that album is waitlisted, so doubt it’ll happen.

It seems odd to me that someone bothered to fix the preview link a few days ago if they were going to shut it all down today.

It'll still let you check out with anything listed as in stock. No one should do that, but just like Bandbox they're still taking money even when the wheels have popped off.

I put an order in 9 days ago, and haven’t seen any movement. Though the confirmation email did say 7-10 business days and it’s only been 5, so we’ll see.
