Aside from the acquisitions at the end (last paragraph) that the workplace is toxic I don't read much other then a difference in vision.
> It started with me trying to convince CCP that skins and vanity items [...] CCP was against selling these types of flashy vanity items and were not really keen on skins in general,
That actually....doesn't sound bad? Just a difference in vision?
> Aryth asked them to show JFs and Shuttles and it was at this point CCP conceded that maybe the tool was not 100% accurate.
Yeah, creating reports which all align perfectly is hard (ie. getting "100%" when you add them up). You need to aligning cut-off dates and what not. Sometimes it's just not worth the hassle if you want a "good enough" picture.
> was caught several times spending 3 to 4 times the money needed on flights and lodgings simply because this individual waited until the literal last minute to book and allocate travel accommodations for company events.
People make mistakes and some people keep making mistakes. And some of these mistakes costs money. Still not hearing anything earth shattering here. And, sure, at some point someone needs to be held accountable and possibly be re-assigned.
> CCP is staffed by intelligent people who are very adept at using every possible stratagem to avoid reprisal. Their public image and the way they are seen by the public is paramount.
Not saying it's a good thing but not that different from any other large(r) company.
> This is why a laptop with over 60-80GB of data related to the CSM went “missing” during my term. If it’s not in minutes or a dev blog or on confluence then it is probably on this mysterious laptop.
That's about as well substantiated as the average 9/11 conspiracy claim.
> Workplace culture in iceland must be really lax because most of the people you see throughout the day are just kinda chillin in the kitchen area or hanging out. Has a big silicon valley tech startup vibe to it, everybody isn’t really in a hurry to do anything and is taking it easy.
Terrible...?
- ThrashBeard 5y agoSound pretty standard for any company and not that bad. The flight thing sounded more like "don't attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity". Maybe it would make more sense to someone who plays EVE and has more context but from outside I don't see anything terrible.

Just a difference in vision? Yeah, CCP's position makes sense, assuming that a consistent aesthetic is the most imporant goal. But I could easily see the player's perspective. Maybe people are leaving/plan to leave in part due to visual boredom. Maybe injecting a little bit of flavor via wacky skins would nudge them to log in frequently and for long enough that it would keep a corporation alive and actually improve members' overall gameplay. And EVE is special in that you don't really see anyone's skins. You'll see your own most closely when docked, but when undocked you're probably zoomed out far enough that you just see a bunch of dots on a radar screen. So if you chose to buy a wacky anime skin, it would only affect your own experience.
