Is this typical, or atypical?
If it's typical (i.e., they're comfortable doing business this way) then yes it's time to move on.
If it's more or less a one-off and you believe your efforts will be rewarded eventually - and you're satisfied with the company and culture otherwise - then maybe it's worth staying.
In either case, guard your physical and mental health. In this regard, trust no one but yourself.

- chiefalchemist 4y agoThat's a good point. It's ultimately what I meant, but didn't properly say. I should have said, "Trust no one at work but yourself." Thanks for the save.
- grayclhn 4y agoDude, if I trusted myself I’d be so fucked.
- Tangurena2 4y ago> In either case, guard your physical and mental health. In this regard, trust no one but yourself. This. I have met people who did not protect/guard themselves. Some had gotten burned out after severe crunches and they needed very long breaks/vacations from writing software. Two that I knew of were still burned out 18 months after the crunch ended. I don't mind putting out fires. It happens. I take offense when those fires are intentionally started by mismanagers. The story of "EA Spouse" is not unique to the game industry. No place I have worked at has been quite that bad. 0 - https://web.archive.org/web/20061205035200/http://ea-spouse.livejournal.com/ https://web.archive.org/web/20061205035200/http://ea-spouse....
