To you, maybe not. Don't put words in the mouths of the CDPR employees, you have no idea what their choices are.
What makes you think the 10% bonus will be equally split among the employees? I bet the higher ups will eat the majority of it.
You realize the employees working 100 hours a week aren’t going to see shit, right?
Nice assumptions, albeit completely misguided ones. I’m just not one to defend poor work environments and would rather push for better work life balances than devour corporate boot because I’ve also had to endure them. Pushing for better across the board and empathising with those suffering under them sounds better than the dumb take of “but I also work shit hours”.
Oh, you're "The Fallen" all right. Keep eating up what your wage lords are serving you.
Fucking this.
The fact that one of the employees looks "sickly" I'm pretty sure he isn't happy about this.
You are aware productivity evaporates way below 100 hours a week and all you're doing is making people string out the productivity they do have and destroying their work life balance.
How is anyone else supposed to lick the capitalist boot if you have the whole thing shoved in your mouth?
“You don’t like toxic work environments so you must not know what it’s like to work in them” somehow manages to be an even greater stupid take.
Except we do because there’s numerous instances of them speaking out and is generally where the information surrounding crunch comes from.
I think we got a bingo on the first page alone for this. Amazing the way people will bend over backwards to defend bad labor practices.
Agreed. And during one of those short periods I mentioned, I almost killed myself in a car crash when I dozed off for a split second driving from the office back to the developer's studio in the middle of the night. My car hit the side railing on the outside of a turn. On the other side of the railing was a dropoff of about 40' or so. I managed to regain control and get back into my lane, but I'll never forget that moment. You'd think that would have been the end of me doing OT, but alas, I'd do them over the course of the next couple years before I finally stopped.
Maybe they could just work 40 hour weeks, but they want to work 100 hour weeks :^)
Did it say anywhere that they would be let go if they refused to work 100 hour weeks? You have absolutely no idea of the inner workings of that company. It's much easier to follow the masses and dogpile on the company, I get it. The gang mentality on this forum can be sickening.
Y'know this industry is known for having agreements between nearby companies to prevent employees from being hired if they quit, right?
"It's not the system, it's the workers who are wrong!"
The explanation always given is "bUt DeVelOpMent Is hArd, iMaGiNE wItH MoRe PeOplE"
The saddest part is I'm sure a lot of these Devs absolutely love their work and have poured so much time, energy, and emotion into this project that CDPR doesn't have to crack the whip on them to crunch. What CDPR should be doing is making folks take mandatory brakes and providing extra PTO to compensate for these hours in addition to being paid the over time they're legally entitled to.
