he speaks the exact ethos of the subreddit that is kind of hard to disagree with. even if they're unaware of what it's like to work outside of america, it doesn't change that working a more prestigious job here comes with the fact that you have to commit 1/3rd of your day, 5/7s of your days to it minimum, and it's usually a lot more intense (because they're mostly performative jobs)
dude could be so much more disillusioned. he could be super shameful of his dog walking, or think that he can make a ton of money working 20 hours, or that 'the powers that be' are controlling things, etc
4 day work week not only helps people get more done outside of work but is actually shown to improve efficiency and sometimes even overall productivity
when people are 'abused' by their employer (worked 60+ hours consistently over a long period of time until theyre burned out with further unrealistic expectations) they're just expected to switch jobs to somewhere else because it's also how you move ahead in the world. that's a sentiment that only exists here lol
im sure friend could vouch for this in the game industry you can really only keep that up for 1-2 weeks then you get less done than a regular schedule. workplace psychology is so dumb in america
just work more lol you don't need to do regular human being stuff
they'd understand that the end product is also literally worse for it if they had been in his position before. not to mention how being overworked means that you'll never have opportunities to explore or 'naturally grow' on the job, and thats really important
the cyberpunk team had like almost a month of 60-70 hour weeks and look what they put out even after multiple delays
somehow the budget is not there to hire more people even though they either fundraised for it or stockholders are getting paid out a ton. which is fuckin stupid for an enterprise private company to focus on in the first place for the worse final product, longetivity thing
gotta pump money into that merch, gaming chairs, and billboards/bus ads all over poland
yeah that's a whole separate tangent. why they'd blow a ton on marketing/advertising as a well respected game company with a TV show coming out prelaunch of a questionable product is beyond me
overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer
just yes men running the world
i mean witcher 3 wasn't perfect on release but it wasn't a complete dumpster fire and literally unplayable on platforms they promised and offered pre-orders on
yeah game industry just a whole tangent. when you can rerelease a game 5x over why not focus on making a really quality product
i've made peace with indie devs using early access to finish their game but i love watching crowbcat videos trashing AAA games
