Alright, I've been reading some reddits. Yes, I'm going through a divorce. This has been going on for a 2 years now. It's a background thing. The "Hunger Games" reference was made by coworkers, not me. I had no idea what they were talking about initially. Just passing it along.

Game industry workers tolerate abuse. It's totally normal to them. If you complain, you are fired, instantly replaced, possibly even blacklisted. Pushing back is a good thing for the industry.

And so, because nobody apparently else has the balls, the principles, or the means to push back, I'm doing it.

It's very respectable, thanks for sharing rich. I too one day would like to write some things up, but trying to brew them in my head a bit for how to make them anything but pointless negativity. Not there yet :P

It's not easy!

Glassdoor is (was?) a good way to kinda push back. The comments you can read there draw an image of an industry made of toxic cesspools. And pushing back is hard when you are part of the employee system. Guess why the brighter spirits leave this industry.

For what it's worth, Blizzard is genuinely a great place to work. No place is perfect, but by far this is the best place I've worked at (~8 companies in ~17 years, been here for 6). I tried business programming at the beginning of my career and man was it boring.. :P
