Gofucking unionize
march 08 2024 @ evening
hello! it has been awhile since my last devlog, and no devlog today. i am just here utilizing my blog to share a little bit of good news :) for those who do not know, i am a former activision qa worker of 3 years who lost my job when the company refused to work with me on accommodations and tried to force me to come back into the office. i worked remotely for almost all of those 3 years, but then they forced RTO, i had a pending disability accommodation with them for nearly a year with documentation from my doctor, had very little communication (with the one person accommodations team for the entire company, might i add), and they denied it.
when i left in january, i asked my coworkers to do one thing: make it a place that they are overjoyed to work, and that bobby kotick (who in 2009 said his goal was to take all the fun out of making games) would have hated.

today, microsoft recognized their union, the biggest union in game development. i'm so fucking proud of them.
