[QUOTE="TreChriron, post: 9260538, member: 5046"] Whatever may come of the internal goings on at EGG, I think it's obvious that a bunch of people felt EGG was a toxic workplace. It doesn't really matter what the specifics are, but the CEO might consider some hard self-reflection and adjust EGG's policies to help foster a better work environment. You don't just have 4+ major resignations from a small company because the boss said you can't use AI. It seems, from casual observation, there's a fire in this smoke. What specifically happened is between the affected and the CEO. But from a customer perspective, I would like to see both a) more good products going forward and b) some encouraging action on the part of EGG to help us understand how they are going to foster a better workplace in the future. We are a cottage industry and it's hard to separate the work from the people. We just saw a bunch of people express anger, sadness, and apparent trauma. That is not trivial. Again, I'm not saying there was any wrongdoing here (that should be decided in a court). It just LOOKS like something bad happened. All the glad-handling and statements so far are not really making me feel like EGG is a safe place to work. That could color my buying decisions in the future. To be frank Dave Scott's messaging here has been so "corporate standard" that trying to see him as a "fellow gamer" while he sounds like a "typical corporate boss" is hard to take seriously. The statements here have neither a) convinced me EGG is cool or b) the people have been wronged somehow. It would have been better to have made one public statement and avoided the interaction all together (IMHO). But here we are... So Mr. Scott. With the prevailing attitude that corporations value profits over people (not saying it's a fact, just a widely held perception...) -- and all this back-and-forth has been so vague and typical, what are you willing to do to convince your customer base that EGG is a place we want to support? The current approach is (in my estimation) not cutting it. [/QUOTE]
