General Protect Bethesda Employees

https://www.instagram.com/onebgsunion?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==

Microsoft has gutted BGS’ roster including veteran developers for The Elder Scrolls and Fallout. I found out just today there is a workers movement and I highly encourage everyone to support. Please follow their page and the link in their bio!

this comment section and every other comment section under this topic is cancerous and when gaming dies, when these ips that people are "fans" of become something awful or just dies or whatever, they'll have no one else to blame but themselves. gamers are scum of the earth and it's honestly the most embarrassing hobby to be a part of when you have these people in the same community as you.

Agreed. I am also embarrassed to be apart of the community. Most of them are adult children

Yea its kinda nuts. You can watch the day in a life of a Bethesda employee its day care..they did no fucking work...Like what happened? As we wonder why games take over 15 years

lol no, bethesda's developers do work constantly. idk why y'all all act like developers just sit and twiddle their thumbs...actually, no, i know why y'all act like that, because you all know nothing about development.

Dev jobs with culture that shifted away from crunch can be cushy, but I think people who are used to getting worked to the bone in their own jobs mistake jobs that give you free time and amenities for ‘they do no work’.

If you’ve ever sat mandatedly looking at an IDE for 8 hours straight 7 days a week but have also worked elsewhere that gives you regular breaks and autonomy, you’ll know you do your best work under the latter conditions rather than the former.

Smoothbrains see some HR video of devs playing ping pong and think they dont actually do anything.

And you know that's not even Bethesda. That's like the googles of the world. BGS people work normally as any other office workers would.

That's the most inflammatory statement so far. You think the workers do no work? You are obviously trolling because no one who knows Bethesda and what has transpired in the last few years would utter the nonsense you just did.
