The thing this article leaves out is that almost all the Rockstar employees speaking out about not being overworked are from Rockstar North. In Scotland. Where there's no such thing as "at-will employment".https://www.theverge.com/2018/10/18/17995214/rockstar-employees-developers-overworked-harsh-work-conditions …

Yeah, I can definitely imagine that not going down as smoothly as the law suggests it should.
also, I think most crunch is not contractural, it's individuals choosing to work extended overtime because they feel they have to / think they want to / are worried about their progression in the company or being let go (for other BS reasons) if they don't do it

I crunched on live games events because everyone did it. it sucked but I just thought that was the way things were, and you couldn't not do it, it was just the culture, it's the "only way" the event could be delivered (even though it wasn't in my contract obviously)

I think there are a variety of reasons, but what the original tweet is pointing out are the cultural and legal differences which can make it inaccurate to generalize responses from one part of a large international company to everywhere else.

yeah, I fully agree. Just relating my experience of working at a UK company where we technically couldn't have been fired for not doing crunch, yet we all did it anyway
