I am aware of one employee who had a panic attack at this moment, and HR hung up on them during this panic attack not caring at all about their wellbeing.
Fucking based.
Unions in creative environments cause nothing but delays. You got hired at one of THE studios and you couldn't handle it and wanted to start a union so that your job would be secure and you don't have to work harder or experience crunch time.
Productivity, efficiency, and accuracy is what makes your job secure and without knowing basic human decency and English jeets can and will replace you for a fraction. And they will be replaced for faster and cheaper jeets.
Cause delays and make it harder to get rid of goldbrickers. God I saw how hard it was to fire someone at normal place, took over a year to get the documenation together to support the case, including providing a PIP and documenting non-compliance.
I can only imagine the hell of unions.
ou should never allow yourself to be in that position in the first place. get a real skill or real job on the side that's more important than drawing concept art or modeling hyperrealistic dumpsters.
That's the issue with a lot of these modern retardo unions. If people had a sack, they wouldn't be getting abused. But its because millenials and zoomers never learned how to handle conflict.
The employees had a union, but the game failed and the studio has no revenue for another project, wtf do they expect the studio to do, just pay them out of thin air?
Pretty much this. Most unions are absolutely retarded and don't understand that if the business isn't profitable their is no money to pay their retrarded salaries or fund their dumb benefits.
Fuck this union, but also fuck R*. in short
There are no good guys in this situation; the supposed "victims" from this are just worse.
The feeling of being discarded is bad - and the description of a colleague having a "panic attack" really seemed like someone needed to tell him to chill the fuck out.
I have been laid off once (I've had contracts expire but I knew that shit was coming). While waiting for my supervisor to come back with some forms about return of company equipment, the HR lady overseeing the process (who we called the grim reaper because she she was always who HR sent to lay off meetings) told me "I was the calmest person she'd done this with". I told her I had significant savings, a valuable skill set, and had already been looking for another job when the business direction change was announced. It was inconvenient, but I guess some people break down or get angry.
Another employer was bought up and switched from a 15th and 31st pay model to every two weeks, which resulted in a 1 week lag of paychecks. the number of people in the employee IM channels losing their shit was astounding, people talking about having to cancel vacations, looking at payday loans, etc. All because their check was delayed a week.
I can't fathom living like that where a week disruption destroys your fiances. People are retarded.
