It’s your choice if you want to defend a corporation over the working class. The laws will change on this eventually.

Every state (U.S.) I've worked in has workplace harassment and abuse laws that cover everyone, whether contractor, part time or FTE. Which states don't?
I’m not defending them I’m showing you both sides of the issue. It’s blatantly clear people will endure this crap for a chance to be hired by them. The only reason this was written was because they didn’t get hired. I understand it sucks, you work your ass off and you get nothing in return except a shit salary, but they’re still making it seem one sided when it’s really not.
I'm not angry. I just dont see how anyone is going to fault an employee for their own mistreatment. Its mental gymnastics because you A) accept the fact they should be treated better but B) blame them for not working elsewhere.
I highly doubt contractors expect to be treated like lesser human beings when they apply for a job at the studio responsible for making their favorite video game franchise.
I don’t have a state by state list. They’re not protected under federal law but states have been individually changing that over the past year.
Of course things need to change I am a big advocate of mental health care especially in regards to work. But it’s clear that they forced this on themselves yes NRS is at fault too, but if you feel yourself suffering mentally you apeak out you don’t let it continue and get worse.
More like, some people have lived through this shit themselves and know better than others what it's like. The fact so many of you seem surprised about this or think it's isolated to the gaming industry just shows how little life experience you have.
"This us the way things are, therefore, this is how things should be"
What I am actually saying is that you're naive if you think this will ever change. Companies have a lot of power, and a giant like WB..yeah, good luck lpl
I agree that laws need to change for contractors. But I find painting these situations as "corporations vs. working class" as overly simplified and illogical.

As far as I've learned (I'm no expert but have to go through standard HR training annually), most worker laws are handled at the state level. Some do exist, such as federal minimum wages, but states and municipalities can and do go beyond that. Many of the best worker protection laws, such as California's WARN act, are state driven. And the WARN act, for example, explicitly includes contractors and part-time workers.
We live on different countries. Here there are lots of unions and wrong doings are always under the scope. These last years they've been getting away with this thanks to the new administration, but that's about to change.
Well put.
Exactly, just like those fucking anti-SJW's try to speak against the game, this article does that same but from a different way. Once again, don't trust anyone.
I hate anti-SJW's and I don't care if he hates the redesigns of the female characters, I just wanted to make a point on the irony/hipocrisy of NRS. It was for the female employees and the title of the vid did just that. The dude in the video seems to be on a different agenda than me so, srry for screwing up your recommendation algorithm
Meh, I believe it. We've smelled the smoke about this for a long while, where there's smoke there's fire more often than not.
I think you just smelled articles like this too much that you can't see through them anymore, just saying.
It makes sense. Their cycle of releasing games has been too frequent for it to be healthy for their employees. Even Ed Boon hinself mentions how much he works, and has gone on record to say work on the next game begins before the current is even finished. This is an all too common occurrence in the game industry.
