JUST
Blizzard is paying employees in company credit now
Nothing wrong with Anarcho-Capitalism
Blizzard is no joking a fucking shadow of its former self. They unironically jumped on the political correctness train and now focus more on banning people for saying the n word and adding minorites to all races than on actual game development. It's so beyond fucked it blows my mind.
oh man can't wait to feed my family with these wow mounts I bought
hey kids, sorry, looks like it's heroes of he storm skins again tonight
Happens at every large company in nearly large every industry. The real problem is that workers have no self-respect.
dont forget to claim your finkbux
>YOU MISSED YOUR DEADLINE
>THATS A FUCKING 50 DKP MINUS
wtf does this even mean lmao
The real question should be why is Blizzard contacting their team through Steam?
The message is formatted as if it was official internal communication, so why are they using unaffiliated third party for it?
Is that like pesos
yeah man thats whats wrong with them
not the gacha shit, mobile shovelware, the lootboxes, the deepthroating chinas cock, the egregious treatment of its employees
you just have to look at too many brown people and women now
You see, this way they don't have to waste their own bandwidth! It's genius!
huh? a raise for what? you mean financial raise look sorry we can't afford to do that right now how about we give you 10,000 honor points instead? this way everyone can still eat and pay rent too, don't you want to help the others out too. Take the points instead do it for our comrades.
10 Honor Points have been deposited into your account
>YOU MISSED YOUR DEADLINE
>THATS A FUCKING 50 DKP MINUS
HOLY KEK
But I can't pay my landlord with honor points.
There always has to be one killjoy to ruin it for all the rest...
the average IQ of Zig Forums is around 90, it's best to just not reply to most people.
I don't know what they are complaining about. This is the liberal dream, this is what they wanted. Why do they cry about it?
Post your favorite gamerpants
rent free
So what happens, you get 2000 honor points and you can buy some company boots?
how so?
you motherfucker there's whiskey all over my keyboard now
>ITT, people that have never had a job in their lives.
Is this illegal?
>“I asked an HR rep during a company financial review meeting why other Austin companies got cost of living raises and we ($12/hr) didn’t. [A]nd they said between the game keys and swag, bnet balance and 25 yrs game time we get, we more than double their salary and should be happy,” one former staffer tweeted.
Liberal means anything I don't like. I don't like this, so QED it's a liberal wet dream.
I don't give a single fuck what Blizzard does to its diversity hires honestly.
>here's your Good Boy Points™ wagie, now get back to work or I'll take your health insurance lmao
>>>SOCIAL CREDIT
Only in lieu of an actual salary. This is just some stupid bonus though, so why would it be?
Oh I thought it was his salary
That email is formatted like a bad high school essay. "I liked when you did x. It was good when you did y. I also enjoyed when you did z." Such a hamfisted way of pretending to give a fuck and like you're paying attention to your employee. Retarded point system aside, I'd be pissed if i got such a clearly artificial email like that
fucking kek
Steam? That's how the formatting and background layout used for any Blizzard email.
Sounds like Blizzard has been completely taken over by scummy sales people and HR scum. All the people with passion, the ones actually making games, are long gone.
that is ironically the thigs that keep them away from going bankrupt
>Such a hamfisted way of pretending to give a fuck and like you're paying attention to your employee
I know managers at my job that've used the same style of bullshit. I guess it must be a thing that works on a lot of employees.
>what is Fordism
Nothing to see here
what can you get for honor points?
Kek
I like Cash's version better

Blizzard has never been good, all their CEOs have been Jewish
I know someone who worked on the Skylanders TV show who was taken to a room full of Activision games and just told to take whatever they want. Assuming they also got paid, clearly they have no problem justifying low pay in exchange for giving people games.
Blizzard is doing this instead of a raise. Technically, it wouldn't be illegal for a company to pay their workers minimum wage and then pay them in whats essential scrip that is "valued" at a wage equal to a normal wage for whatever job.
The only reason nobody does this is because companies know they can't get away with it. No one would want take $16,000 a year plus $64,000 a year in company swag for a job that pays $80,000 a year Blizzard is testing what they can get away with.
if it was the workers would have every right to hang their boss.
this is crony captalism
>with all the game keys and swag you get more than double other companies wages
>"Okay, game you just give me double my pay and revoke my game keys and swag?"
>No
>crony capitalism
No, this IS capitalism.
what i don't understand is how blizzard, the company that made over 5 BILLION dollars per year on WoW alone, came to starve its own developers? how does a company sink so low? can anyone explain?
and that's a bad thing
>working for literal brownie points and not money
COMPANY ON SUICIDE WATCH, OMG MY SIDES
The funny thing too is that digital game keys cost them LITERALLY nothing to just give away to employees. They also probably just write off any physical games/swag as a work expense
Oh boy, good to see company towns making a comeback
Jews.
Greed
16 TONS AND WHAT DO YOU GET
Now this is epic.
Executives and stockholders are all that matters. You can blame Jews, the bad apples, or whatever else but at the end of the day, this is the main feature of capitalism, nothing is wrong with this under capitalism.
>taken to a room full of Activision games and just told to take whatever they wan
So this costs Activision... the price of a disk and a box? So a few bucks at most?
Why don't they just give their employees unlimited access to digitally download all Activistion-Shitzard games. That would even be completely free.
Too many affirmative action hires and they can't fire em so they can only fight a battle of attrition and hope they strave first
It's all Chinese money that can't leave the country.
>Social Credit
This is legitimately worse than anything they've done before lmao.
nice american company
china bad, amrite
i unironically hope they die soon, payback for what they did to wc3
>blizzard is american
Ya givin' me a giggle, m8.
How many times are you going to make this thread?
>my sides
Yeah it's definitely the dozen or so browns taking home 20k a year each and not the executives giving themselves millions in bonuses every year while shareholders take as much as they can
Imagine being a blizz employee and paying taxes on this shit
Welcome to Blizzard™ Town be sure to to your secure you overwatch™ rations for 500 honor points before your allotted 30 minute sleep time
holy shit this is the true redpill
Are people pretending to be retarded ITT? I seriously refuse to believe anyone is fucking stupid enough to think this is real.
>user we've heard you didn't kneel before Black people during the teambuilding event
>I'm afraid we'll have to deducted 200 Honor points from your account
