Taliesin said something like ‘Blizzard should crawl though glass to keep people like this’, and I totally agree. Blizz management is just awful. If you have people making good product, PAY THEM. Got employees doing a good job and making you money, do whatever it takes to keep them. Squeezing every dime out of the company for upper management and shareholders is shortsighted, but it’s the stupid way big corporations work anymore. It’s not about the longterm good of the company, it’s all about the quick buck no matter the damage to the company.
If they squeeze out too much money and destroy the company they don’t care. They’ll just gut it, sell it for parts, and move on to the next company and do the same.
I’d argue its most job markets. On one hand companies see their workforce as replaceable tools and on the other said workforce has every information and tools for self-improvement they could ever want.
So yeah when your company is more worried about maximizing their margins than acknowledge your personal progression, you have to bounce.
Sent like 5 resumes yesterday cause my boss pushed my raise by 6 months. Its the world we live in.
Some managed to negotiate work from home in their contract. Which was important when some of them were from out of state and just generally being better for ones personal life when you can live in a cheaper area and don’t have long commutes. And with how well dragonflight has been, and the faster content updates, are you really saying letting them continue as they have been for all of development a bad thing?
They literally are. They are getting hired in other places who very likely are going to pay them way more than blizzard is.
Does Bobby get paid what he’s worth or is he a goblin hording sack of potatoes? Maybe if the big boys didn’t take such overpriced bonuses we could have better wages for all the guys who do the actual work.
