I guess my perspective on the indie sphere is "well, that's what happens with random people."
IMHO we should all expect a 50+ headcount company to be better though. Like, have a business model that doesn't require screwing people over & have functional HR.
- jonathankoren 5y agoYeah, the idea that major game studio is a toxic hellscape of harassment with HR being so incredibly dysfunctional, is really mind blowing, and yet that's exactly the state of the industry.
- ethbr0 5y agoThe "HR exists to protect the company" explanation for bad HR irks me too. HR exists to do whatever the C-suite tells them priorities are. If leadership says "Decrease harassment AND protect the company," then that's a thing HR can do. Or they could not, or say "but make sure to give anyone that makes the company a lot of money a free pass," and HR doesn't try.
