Video game worker here. I used to get 5-15 inMails a week offering me an interview. This year? 2. In total. The industry is brutal right now.

It‘s also an industry full of enthusiasts with a passion for what they do. Well mostly. I don‘t have to tell you how much that gets exploited. The workers who got the boot over joining a union actually seemed interested in returning to office again in interviews, though not without joining a union first.

Yeah I mean can you imagine working on a big contender for the game of the decade, and being kicked out at the final hurdle?

Same story for almost every passion industry. I remember being surprised at first to learn how underpaid Formula 1 engineers are when some of them are literal rocket scientists, for example.
