Yeah! Buy a gaming console instead of having support against us, the mighty abusive employers! Getting fair wages is just dumb when you can play video games.
By the way, why so expensive? I pay 8 euros monthly, from my bruto income. While they made sure my previous employer didn’t fuck me over, for a staggering 5 years long fight. I had 5 lawyers. For 8 euros per month. And I won, which I couldn’t have done myself.
SatansMaggotyCumFart prefers MAGA to leftists.
Putting the ad hominem to the side if that is what you got out of that conversation I think it’s mostly a reading comprehension issue.
I joined a union after a previous manager started coming after me (cos they were a bit power mad) and I could only sue them when they fired me thanks to the union resources. Otherwise, I would have had to leave fuming but powerless like everyone else had. Unions are totally worth it!
With the retroactive salary increase my union just got me, I could buy several gaming systems. [meme of dude tapping his head]
Huh, it’s apparently called “Roll Safe”: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/roll-safe
I know craftsmen who could certainly build one for cheaper than that…
look man, I’ve tried those cheap Algerian knockoffs - most of the time, you’re lucky if you get 2 or 3 Marquees under the fucker before it starts warping, much less taking it onto the bourgeoise pigs and their fat necks.
Don’t be fooled, you get what you pay for here.
Everyone’s got a guillotine guy
Uniona are kinda a strange duck. Employers hate them, but technically shouldn’t care because if they were in fact not trying to fuck you constantly then unions wouldn’t get people very far.
On the other hand as a union worker myself, I’ve seen some of the laziest biggest pieces of shit not get fired because we’re union. So it isn’t sunshine and rainbows for either side.
I’d rather some lazy fucker gets to live comfortably with a living wage like anyone else than some lazy rich fucktard gets to live super duper comfy while everyone else suffers. Theres always low performer for whatever reason (its rarely pure lazyness), a healthy society can carry them.

It doesnt need to be this way, but through corruption or other means this has happened.
Like the room in NYC with teachers that just sit in it all day because they cant be fired.
You’re focused on the wrong enemy.
Delta pilots are unionized. Wide body captains are making over $700k/year
I can see why Delta doesn’t want the rest of their employees unionizing. I don’t see why they haven’t
Pilots make more money if they’re fatasses!? Where do I sign up!?
I think I pay 60€ per 3 months, so 240 per year, and I get a part of it back after submitting some form.
You also (probably) get regular raises and healthcare
Yes, our country has wage indexation and healthcare.
“Buy this thing so you don’t notice while we take advantage of you.”
I’m honestly surprised they aren’t telling us to buy something Delta sells to complete the grift.
Bread and circuses baby, bread and circuses
I’m not much for circuses, but I’d like to hear more about this “bread?”
A bit of a side note, but whoever or whatever team created this clearly isn’t a gamer. While most modern consoles I believe are capable of playing music. Video game terminology wouldn’t refer to playing games as “The Latest Hits Sounds”.
you have misinterpreted it.
A new video game system with the latest hits sounds like fun.
it’s not “hit sounds” it’s “hits sounds”
Your right, but it’s still bad punctuation. Despite the irony. I fixed my typo.
You know who I trust to tell me how to live my life? Big faceless corporations. They obviously want what’s best for me more than they care about their bottom line.
Coincidentally, unions might be the only things that could still save the AAA side of the games industry…
I think the current AAA system should die. It’s brutal for the people making games and it’s completely unsustainable in the long run.
I’d expect more unionization to mechanically reduce games scope by increasing workers hourly compensation. And progressively remove authority from the MBA guys through giving more power to the devs
That works for me. I’ve come to appreciate games that keep it short but tight over long games full of filler.
For whoever reported this as Anti-Union Propaganda, you are correct. However, this post has been approved because it’s blatantly awful as a piece of propaganda. Anyone who thinks that this post provides a convincing argument, please add your comment to the thread to promote discussion. :)
Average annual salary is slightly less than $70k annually in the US. A union that gets you even a meager 3% raise annually is ~$2100 in increased income or 3x what your dues is.
Bunch of fucking wankers.
