The work environment being so horrible that staying away from their hellish offices seemed like a worthy reward for backstabbing their peers eeek

They've probably been doing it for the love of the game. The game in question not being GTA6, but "doing what's right" in their fucked up capitalism serf larp.

The little worms don’t respect their coworkers and thus can never respect themselves. They only crave the taste of boot

Somehow, selfworth and betrayal don't seem to go together in my mind.

You know, it's practices like this that there will never be a LA Noire 2.

Who fking cares, youre going to buy the game anyways. Lets be honest 😆

an HOUR????????

Oh nooooooo another reason to not support @rockstargames.com not like GTA isn’t the most mid concept in the world. Sure you can copy what GTA does but you’re probably only doing it once with a 20 year break in between ;)

DRAG EM ALL NAMES NAMES NAMES (please do not do this, I am high)

So its a panopticon that wants you broken upon the wheel and it comes with the guarantee that regardless of if the game is a success or a failure that the company is going to fire you to boost end of year numbers? …And people /want/ to work there?

Trade union membership is a protected characteristic like religious belief in the United Kingdom. This could be a serious breach of UK GDPR.

30 pieces of silver or 60 minutes of PTO? Up to you!

I suppose it was an act of sadism, then. Some people throw others under the bus for the lols...

reminds me of how US politicians will sometimes take comedically small bribes

Some would have done it for free, but maybe they didnt trust those :D

A single hour... Yeah at that point, the person in question probably just did it for the love of the game man, farkin'ell m8 😭

scabs are the lowest of the low, hence their capacity for imagination, even for rewarding their efforts, has evaporated

I suppose that shows the correlation. Folks are willing to sell out for peanuts because they've been convinced this is the best they can ever get in the prisoner dilemma playing in their head.

This is like every time you look up what the Doomsday Device Company donated to Senator Moderate's campaign to convince them to feed their entire state's population into the Meatbag Grinder and it's $40,000

sounds more like they just booked the hour taken to scrape the discord as time off in lieu, so the mole didn’t even get a reward at all, they just didn’t want to do it on their own time because they value work/life balance, to an extent lmao

Boycott that shit.

Consider wishlisting @streetsofrogue.bsky.social, the sequel (SoR2) going to be an open world, and have more rich interactions and emergent gameplay. The "realism" of the GTA games has always felt superficial to me: you can't crash into buildings whereas in SoR2 everything is destructible.

Taken off wishlist and stopped paying attention to the talk about the game until Rockstar gets slapped in the face in the trial. If they don't I won't.

This is, in one way, maybe worse than letting the staff go. Letting Union organisers go is evil, but it's basic self interest. Giving the moles who betrayed them 1 hour of time off for betraying themselves, their industry and their co-workers is possibly even more twisted.

If an employer can fire you with a paper trail that drags behind you forever, this should allow your coworkers to brand you. I'm not saying physically but I'm not not saying it.

Remember when Pinkerton came out in opposition of RDR2 depicting them as bad guys, then Rockstar hired union-busting agencies? I hate it. For me, GTA6 can't be GOTY, but I know I'm not the vast opinion.

It's giving politicians being influenced by 4-figure bribes, I mean "lobbying"

Is this a fact. Where is this article?

They didnt seek reward they wanted compensation for the time they spent of work doing the job of snitch

You're part of the problem, Sonylord. =3

I’m hyped for the game mainly bc their last game Rdr2 is one of my all time favorites and in the extended look the gameplay pretty much looks like red dead which I’m happy with

I hope those people realise what they've done when the crunch gets piled on because there are less bodies to do the work. Less bodies directly because of their actions that caused all those people to loose their jobs.

Whistleblowers? Moles? They're in Scotland, so just say they gave some wee sleekit bastards a bung to clipe on their co-workers. It's important to get the correct terminology in legal documents.

If I'm reading that article correctly, she probably didn't even get an hour off. I bet she spent her off-hours snitching and pretending to be a sympathetic ear, then just asked for comp time. I was looking forward to buying and playing this game, but if true, they're on my Do Not Support list.
