Note to any industry juniors thinking they have to work overtime: DON'T. I have literally never worked a minute of overtime in games and if anyone encourages you to do so, they are awful. There is absolutely ZERO benefit to doing so. Work, so you can live. Not the other way.pic.twitter.com/PUQ3FukWLD
follow up point, I fully appreciate that you may want to please people around you and not disrupt the status quo, but it is not only your right to say 'No' but you absolutely owe it to yourself and every other person who comes after you to help dismantle crunch as a norm.
every time you say "oh it's just 1 hour more." you let every other person around you think that is expected of them too. Including those who don't have the wealth of experience to fall back on. It is your responsibility to not contribute to it, no matter how small.
Easy rules: If something CAN be done in "oh it's just 5 minutes" it's clearly not that big of a deal = do it tomorrow. If something CAN'T be done in just 5 minutes, it's clearly too big of a task = do it tomorrow.
the only time i've worked overtime is when i get compensated enough for me to not care, and it takes A LOT to get my weekends
God I was even trying to give them the benefit of the doubt by not bagging on them in a quote retweet but their opinions really are dumb and the worst.
Totally agree. If you're having to work overtime then you have to look at the people and processes creating the work. What annoys me most in games is the push back on process creativity/deviance to elevate the practice from people who have been most affected by it in the past.
There's no better way to destroy your productivity, creativity and happiness than by overworking. Burnout is no joke.
Yeah, working overtime is bollocks. Nobody is gonna notice anyway. Also, if you aren't logging overtime, it's just a production nightmare - worked 13h on that but logged only 7? That's coming back to haunt you when a new production cycle starts.
yeah youre exactly right. saying you can get 13 hours just makes it worse every single time. if paid overtime was a general thing, then i guess thats up to the individual, but thats not even standard anyway so theres literally no upsides haha
