Topic	Thoughts on Rockstar bragging about 100 hour work weeks before RDR2?
CaptainOfCrush 10/17/18 9:22:40 AM #7:	Peace___Frog posted... I think it's a showcase of mismanagement. Possibly (and partially), but it's also a part of the culture. Does anyone wanna guess how long this game has been in development? Like... five years? Even if that were stretched to six, crunch time would still be madness. Many people in these fields are just imprinted to think of these work schedules as the norm, and they wear their worst work stories as badges of honor (like when I had a former coworker brag about his "104 hour week" during the audit close period at Caesars Palace). I feel like the Millennial/Gen Y demand for more work-life balance is changing things, but that change is coming slowly. ExThaNemesis posted... It can be potentially deadly I think. I went from a job I hated doing 50 a week where I was miserable and sick all the time to working 40 a week at my new job and honestly my health has drastically improved and those changes were only minor. Oh absolutely. Stress is a killer. Two weeks ago, when I was working consecutive 17-hour days to push through monthly deadlines, I called my brother just to emotionally vent, which is the first time I've ever done something like that (I dunno what an anxiety attack would feel like, but I was going to the bathroom and felt myself physically shaking, so I was probably on the verge of one). It was one of the worst feelings of my life, and my bro and sis (medical professionals both) advised me straight up to quit if things don't improve within a month. Hope no one else here is working a schedule like this. --- Yoblazer https://imgur.com/gByqgPg <cite>CaptainOfCrush posted [p:910674952] in Thoughts o...
