@tha_rami I am fixated on that run cycle where the guy runs with his wrists facing downward like a kangaroo.
Basically, whatever your career path in games, know that if you have achieved literally -anything- better than the above video in the past 20 years of your life, you're ahead of the Gamergate Goomba. Hell, even if you've shipped nothing but didn't waste US$1.3M, you're ahead.
@jasonschreier So they are doing soft layoffs basically, people would have moved out of commuting range, or simply don't have the funds and means to get into an office 5 days a week... Layoffs under a different name. The execs sure as hell won't be in 5 days a week
@jasonschreier So, essentially, "we're looking to lay off some people and make it easy on ourselves by getting rid of anyone who refuses to come back"
@JV_C_R @jasonschreier Leaks and hacks happened before WFH was a thing. It will absolutely change nothing. This is just their excuse to do what they likely already wanted to mandate.
@JV_C_R @jasonschreier Leaks have happened from on-site offices too, my guy. It’s not like leaks suddenly materialized in the past 4 years because of remote work. They’ve been happening for literally all of human history.
@jasonschreier "productivity reasons" i personally think productivity is going to take a big hit when you're making all of your employees pivot from working remote to in-office during the final stretch of a game
@jasonschreier "for security and productivity reasons" translates to this is really about commercial real estate while we let COVID rip through the working class. Like, a lot of the coding can be done *remotely,* right?!?
@jasonschreier And they’re about to lose their best devs now. The only ones staying will be the worse ones they have and the ones without enough experience to job hop
if anyone has continued so far, thank you for listening 💚💚💚💚 idk what the point of this is, but, i needed to get it off my chest. blizzard had every opportunity to do the right thing, and they continually failed at that.
i said I cant survive for 3 months without pay, I have a mortgage and they looked me in the eye and said: "well, you probably shouldn't have signed the contract then 🙂" within a few minutes i was locked out of slack/email, and that was the end of my time at Blizzard. 🎉🎉🎉
so, enough time has passed now for me to talk about why i decided to leave Blizzard. a mixed year with great teammates, but a management that mistreated, lied to me, gaslit me, gave me a fake promotion, and HR that refused to help. buckle up friendos. 💪
@DANNYonPC @jasonschreier Consolidation is the cancer of the gaming industry.
@jasonschreier Corporate greed is absolutely disgusting and ruins gaming
I got a few rejection emails this morning, but one of them was written personally. They thanked me for my cover letter, wished me luck, and complimented a specific piece from my portfolio. The first rejection email I've gotten made me smile. Wish this was a more common practice.
About a month after I got laid off a friend sent me a link to a job posting from my studio and said "isn't this your job?" Reader, it sure was. The only difference in the JD was that it was hybrid instead of remote.
If you make your hobby your job, then you never have a hobby.
And we're back in the studio! We hope you're having a great start to the new year; we're already hard at work and cooking up something truly special!
