Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

And not a single one of those resumes will be from someone that has any loyalty to EPIC. Those employees won't give a shit about the company that pays them, just that they get paid.

So EPIC will continue to lose money by paying top dollar for the most unmotivated of employees. The ones who will collect a check to let management make all the creative decisions, and then leave once that inevitably leads to a dumpster fire. Rinse & repeat with the next place that'll pay more.

Jokes on the EPIC CEO for being so myopic he doesn't seem to understand the reality of this situation. That he's about to pay top dollar for the worst employees imaginable: the ones who won't shake the boat when its clearly already on its way to being capsized.

About as bad as the last company I worked at, a VP would say folks who were laid off were "promoted to customers".

Amazon? This was a running joke employees would say all the time.

“Amazon pays more cause it expects more”. Like fucking 20p more.

Wow. I’m sad this happens at more than one place.

[–] FartMaster69@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 days ago

I mean, if retail that is an improvement.

I do hope there's a special place in hell for people like this, where they are spanked for all eternity with a soup spoon.

This is the type of "dickery" that surpasses all measurements, the one that is, honest to god, trying to be nice.

In short, he's really, REALLY stupid.

Oh yeah Timmy? Who's hiring them in this industry, let alone this economy? Go fuck yourself.

Ai is going to bankrupt a lot of stupid business owners

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 65 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (4 children)

my company of 50 went down to 22 because of "AI productivity gainz" - then we had the biggest dip in client retention in its 10 year history and those clients that do remain all have massive issues with getting what they want and there are constant "fire drills" to keep them happy.

Everytime this dirt bag speaks, I wish I had more Epic accounts to cancel.
