> That said, there are a number of (very large) companies where it is absolutely normal to work 6 days a week 10 to 12 hours a day. This is not a secret, it’s been very common for a very long time. Personally, I wouldn’t work for a company like that.
Says the former manager of a VHX house who now negotiates with studios… he’d literally be one of the people responsible for this situation.
It’s a shortage of employers willing to pay workers. Thats why they cant get enough artists
- olivertaylor 3y agoNot really. I’ve never worked for a studio that treats people like that, and wouldn’t. And I’ve been in a unique position to see how these situations unfold. It is very complex, very fluid, and difficult to manage. I think the bottom line is just that it is too difficult to do correctly for most studios (people). However, you are correct in that people in my position are often at fault - but executive leadership ALWAYS signs off. The labor shortage situation has changed a lot since then but it was never a wages problem. I knew people at studios offering double their standard rate who still couldn’t find enough qualified people.
