Haters gonna hate. I enjoyed it as well. 

Sure, that may be what’s happening at Activision. I’m not following what is or isn’t happening with them; I didn’t see anything in this article about their percentage of white vs. other employees. And is it known that the white guys were under-qualified (honest question)? If so, then yes, that’s messed up (and stupid…

It’s almost like someone’s “diversity” has nothing to do with how well they would perform the job being interviewed for.  Forcing more diverse hiring doesn’t magically make qualified candidates appear that fit that bill.

EEO is fair and logical. Diversity for the sake of diversity is stupid. Being non-exclusionary is not the same as being necessarily-diverse.  Businesses exist to make money, not friends. Anything they can do to ethically attain that goal should not be regulated. Not having employees who are not <insert race/gender/ethn…

and that’s ok. I never said these practices are ok. There’s a trickle down effect, these practices don’t start or stop at the directors. They come from other people making decisions saying get it done by XYZ date, with this much money, with this many people. Again, to my point, there are aspects of this that there are…

Hey and I get that. I’m not saying your situation does not apply or doesn’t matter, in any way. There will always be something better, and you are 100% correct that its not somebody else’s job to look out for you and that applies to many aspects of life. It’s without a doubt that the field is competitive and there…

I replied this to someone below and I am going to paste it here as well. The reality is that there will always be something better out there and that’s obviously a fact. It’s also not so easy to just pick up and go somewhere “better or different” and that shows how much of a naïve take you have on the world if you…

The point is, some of these people are just doing their job whether they like it or not. Lets not take the little recognition they deserve over some things that they have little to no control over. Keep licking that boot though.

Hard to believe considering even the Director only has so much control over whether or not there will be crunch. This falls entirely on studio management rather than how the game was directed. Crunch doesn’t come from the director. Crunch comes from trying to meet stupid deadlines set by management that has a terrible…

Video games want so much to be like movies in every respect, except when it comes to their labor practices.

I literally addressed that they should have included the warning regardless. It’s in the first sentence of my 3rd paragraph, but way to dance around what I wrote. People just love to look for anything to lay blame on except for themselves.

It likely does have a warning. The 1 they are talking about was the review verison without certification. They prolly required it to be certified. I’ve honestly only seen like 1 game with a warning tho. Those lights aren’t used to cause seizes in dr offices, that’s incorrectly reported by article. Majority don’t have…

Naw usually from a law standpoint misconduct has to be serious enough to destroy the relationship between employee and employer. I dont think taking a few stationary items is enough to “destroy” that relationship.

That’s exactly my point.

I have a good, salaried job, as an engineer at a power plant equipment manufacturer. Sometimes, during major equipment tests, I need to put in extra work at strange hours. It’s not year round, and it’s not all that common. Maybe a few weeks a year. It’s fine.

Who here has ever worked mandatory OT? Raise your hand .

you just did exactly what he’s talking about 

The internet has created an environment where high school never ends.

So say we all. Fuck COVID-19.
