A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

They should let the designers and writers help too, so we don’t end up with more shitty AI art.

Gotta follow Bethesda's lead.

Bethesda Game Studios is officially the first Microsoft game developer to full unionize under the Communication Workers of America (CWA), forming a "wall-to-wall" union of developers including artists, engineers, programmers and designers. Microsoft has recognized the union.

Did you notice homegirl backing it up for chet in the hat, top left? Just above the unconcerned guy with airpods in working diligently on his spreadsheet. See also: Daddy double-legs and halfskirt/halfjeans.

It's pretty much got office chairs down though. Guess that's something.

Fascinating idea. One suggestion though:

When selecting your "coup team" avoid immigrants and people with families. Back when I was young, single, and living in my home country, I could have been convinced to go along with something like this, but now I'm living abroad with a wife & kid. The risk is sufficiently high that I might be compelled to snitch for fear that I might be deported or jailed.

You want ambitious, charismatic, high-skill, and risk-friendly people for this kind of job.

I'll be cheering you on from the sidelines though.

It's like "Forming an union - a story"
