Good. Fair compensation for fair work, with no sneaky deals to undercut labor.

 

[Scribe]

Good, naughty word AI.

Wow. I really hope the strikers get what they want.

 

[Eyes of Nine]

Good, thanks for sharing

The video game industry is particularly egregious when it comes to pay to profit ratios

The video game industry and the table top game industry share certain labor market characteristics. Everybody wants to work at a game company. So the bosses get away with treating employees horribly, because if you quit there's 10 people behind you begging for a job.

I hope they get what they want, but I don't foresee a big change.

Film and TV work have the same issue with over supply of people keen to get in.

 

[Kaodi]

Are there not plenty of people keen to get in at the top too though? And yet compensation for executives continues to spiral upwards.
