Don't have children or get married. If u wan't to not be completely assraped by reality and the hardcore truth.

I mean I am ABSOLUTELY sure there are nicer ways to put that that don't fall into borderline sexual harrasment territory but yeah.
Fair point, this stuff is the worst in environments where the expectation is to give up all personal life to succeed. The military (at least in Canada) is rife with it. USA gymnastics and the Nassar thing. Entertainment industry with Weinstein.

Ironically it has resulted in much worse product, modern WoW is trash and being overtaken by FF14

Can confirm. If you're not prepared for Hell mode, don't have kids. Top-tier Bitch management skills are vital to your physical mental and spiritual health.

The no-mandatory-arbitration part is solid though.

I remember when i heard about some game developer having sex with journalists for good reviews and when I finally saw their pictures it was like a cow and a 15 year old looking adult.

I was like holy smokes these people already have a host of way worse problems than paying for 5 stars on dead websites with favors.

apparently furor and his merry band of sex pests actually called it the 'cosby suite' themselves: https://kotaku.com/inside-blizzard-d...ite-1847378762

i know, it's amazing what so little can get you [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

a lot of "achiever" professionos of all ages are emotionally, more like "toddlers" as well as being ugly. ripe berries as far as socio demon girls are concerned. the lowliness of the industry targeted reflects her self-placement within her internal hot or not tier system. Shoot for high officials, tech ceos, syndicate rulers etc. not zelda game reviewers .

I heard about that lawsuit

Apparently Blizzard was allowing employees to get completely plastered at work and do “cubicle crawls” where they went from cubicle to cubicle engaging in drunken antics. No doubt some harassment of women occurred in these, along with all the other stupid shit people do when they get shitfaced drunk. Why any respectable employer would allow their employees to get tanked at work is beyond me. I work in behavioral health, which is about one of the most forgiving settings for substance abuse you can imagine. I could probably bring in a big bag of heroin, leave it at my desk, and when it’s discovered say I have a heroin addiction and ask instead of being fired to be suspended without pay to attend drug rehab, and it would probably be granted. But even my agency STILL wouldn’t allow myself or anyone else to be coming into work high or drunk. So that’s why I really question blizzard as an employer on that one

And that chick that killed herself I think did it at the holiday party after she found out pics of her privates were being passed around. That is really tragic because it definitely seems like an alcohol influenced spontaneous decision. If she just could have gotten some counseling while sober to process the situation and things she could do, she could have possibly seen another way out. But she never got that chance

Mostly number one on the list, getting rid of mandatory arbys yeah, but also number four considering HR lost its humanity.
