Well, crunch is owned by nestlé, which doesn't care about killing children. A 2018 report found that they promote their powder milk to replace breast milk in certain countries, but breast milk helps babies build their immune system; you should understand where the problem is. When they first started doing it in Africa (in the 80s? 60s? I don't remember) they even gave free samples lasting just long enough that the mother stop producing her own milk, so that they would have no choice but to buy artificial milk. Such practices were internationally banned (at least in theory), but i guess nestlé is going to toe the line as much as it can.

I no joke had a psychotic episode due to crunch. I was taking adderall to keep my brain alive after virtually no sleep for a week, then my perception of reality completely warped and I erroneously assumed my roomate/ best friend was planning to kill me so I attacked him and spent 3 days in the psych ward. Thank God my friend understood and didnt press charges. Crunch isn't some back ache, or mild inconvenience, it absolutely devastates your sense of wellbeing and for what purpose? For leisurely golfing executives to make more moola. They view their workers, people, as instruments in a plan who exist only to help fatten their wallet.

I like that Marty character and his Goose. But yeeeh, crunch is horrible, I've been having crunch time for some animations and it's horrible, even more cuz it's personal work and makes me feel bad if I get it late. Latetly I understood that if it's gonna be late then just work at your own time. Sometimes passion can give you that fun crunch, but it's not healthy trying to do it all the time, resting is good to recharge and keep doing it, or just taking it slowly.

The problem with "passion crunch" that people take on themselves is that it still changes the culture. Now anyone else who wants to work and succeed at the company will be expected to work to the same level, regardless of the effect it has on their work-life balance or mental health. It's the job of regulations and management to make them stop. Like, it's the same with performance enhancing drugs in sports. Sure, some, maybe even most athletes would take them to improve their performance if they were allowed. But if you just allow them, you're basically putting everyone who isn't willing to potentially harm themselves at a disadvantage. Even if it's not written down as mandatory, it's effectively mandatory for anyone who wants to succeed.

Passion crunch is how we get employers to bully the shit out of you for all you are worth combined with depressing wages in compensation. People need to wake the fuck up and realize that work isn't the be all end all of life. FFS I see this stuff in education and especially my students, they are so buried into their work that they actually brag about how much work they are doing and it's demoralizing. Not to mention the abnormal hours I see some of my co-teachers put in and I'm just like, why? They're just abusing your generosity to afford to not pay you anything back in compensation. Then you see how capitalism fits into this and you hate it, even more, you are passionate about what you do, employers abuse that and take your passion for granted, don't pay their workers what they are actually worth and the cycle perpetuates. After all, if you're in charge of all of your employee's wages, why pay them extra when they'll still do the work anyway? Might as well use their passion and grind it into the dirt for all they're worth.

Had a manger who saw me working harder than the rest of my coworkers. She tried to mandate my level of work ethic to everyone else. I told her that if she tried that shit I was gonna leave, needless to say she removed the mandate. It’s sad that it doesn’t always happen that way though, with people becoming more and more stressed as their coworkers turn against them because corporate or the manager decided that everyone should be able to work at the fastest pace possible. This work culture that has cultivated over a few decades is becoming increasingly unfair not only to those who are currently employed, but also, those who need to find a new employer. It took me over a YEAR to find a job out of high school that didn’t let me go within the first month because I wasn’t able to keep up with highly unrealistic expectations and even now my current job doesn’t even give me enough hours so I can earn enough money to live off of.

Cyberpunk had an issue due to how the hype building up to it was so overwhelming that it was almost impossible to delay it further, or the community would go berserk. Such a task like game development is one which is by no means consistent and easy to guess how long it will take. Its an unpredictable and grevious process, so its hard to blame them if calculating when they are precisely done is humanely imposdible.

The bit with having Marty outside the window was hilarious, I've gotta say. And great sound design! For a company with a really good culture when it comes to this stuff, I'd put forward Wube, the devs of Factorio. Obviously most indie games will not achieve their level of success - they had the freedom to put good practices in place because they had the financial stability to do so, right? But regardless, they still were very careful about giving their employees the time they needed to not only complete Factorio within their deadlines, but also give them plenty of time away from the game to recharge.

I've been in the industry for over 16 years now, and I've done my fair share of crunch in crunch culture oriented studios. You mentioned how contract workers were overtime exempt? Well, I was an actual full-time employee, but I was also technically overtime exempt. The closest to compensation we'd get was called "Project Days", which were arbitrarily awarded additional vacation days (often kept off the books, you know, in case you tried to quit and cash them out) that our manager would hand out at the end of a project. Did you work 60+ hours a week for months on end? Your compensation would be 4-5 extra days off once the game shipped, or maybe just 2-3 if the producer didn't like you. Thankfully, I now work at a studio where crunch culture is explicitly banned: If a manager or lead implies you are required to work overtime at all, you can go straight to the CEO and he'll sort them out. I've been back to working normal weeks for years, and it's one of the most fantastic boosts to my mental health that I have ever experienced.

Don't just ask managers, ask everyone who interviews you and see if their answers line up.

@@Tavdogg11 If your question is "How many hours can I expect my employees to work past a normal work week?" then my honest advice is to shift your perspective or just not run a studio. Planning for crunch is the absolute biggest failure that management can have, and it's guaranteed to burn out your team and produce lackluster products. You should expect developers to work 40 hours a week, just like a normal full-time job, and that's what you use when planning. In terms of breaks between projects, offering a competitive vacation package is the correct way to go. Most companies give 3+ weeks per year, depending on seniority. The main thing is to make sure people can actually take the vacation without being pressured out of it, or called in while on vacation (I have seen this happen first hand, it's insane. People vacationing out of the country and then being told they have to get back to the office, and they schedule earlier flights home, etc. I would quit on the spot if this happened to me.)

Earlier this year I left my "dream job" over burnout. I was doing AI research, but doing voluntary crunch to try to get models and code implemented. My manager was telling me that he didn't want me working that hard, but when I stopped crunching, I noticed that my reviews were becoming poor. I got more recognition and praise on projects after I crunched, and they'd call me things like "10xer." But eventually it all caught up with me and I had a mental breakdown, and my later projects started to fall to shit. I was pretty much done. After I quit, I tried to get my PhD at my old college, thinking the more free time and work to apply to what I wanted to do would help me out of burnout, but it only made it worse. I kept doing more of the same thing, training models, not getting the result I wanted, tweaking data and code, running experiments, averaging 80 hr work weeks, only to end up with trivial or bad results. I took a semester off from college, and just played videogames nonstop. Now I'm at the point where I need to return back to college, but I'm still burned out. I'm guessing this is that "stress casualty" that they're talking about.

There was pushback from the drivers (before my time + also if i remember this correctly) when the HANS device was first introduced which basically drastically reduced the chances of drivers breaking their neck if I remember rightly it was something like "well I need to be able to see more / turn my neck more, it's uncomfortable, etc. etc. Talking of safety in F1, rest in peace Jules.

Absolutely agree, and I find it disgusting. Have you ever played Fortnite? I literally love the game, it's probably one of my favorited, but even seasons ago, when they were cruching hard their employees (I think they stopped now? Because the updates have been set to be much slower now, so hopefully they understood to stop being slavers) and when they used to release a HUGE update literally every week, people still complained and whined about them taking too long to correct mistakes. Especially till the 4th season of chapter 2 (we're in seasons 6 now, so not too long ago btw) people were so toxic towards anyone who supported the game and the developers, and just wanted them to be able to take a breath and get a slower pace. Now the situation is hopefully getting better, because many of those toxic-waste-fans are abandoning the fandom (and those who hated the game without playing it are just getting bored on being haters on it, just going somewhere else to ruin some other fandom), but trust me, it was extremely hard staying a fan and a supporter (loving the game and advocating for slower and more human updates) with all this hate going on. I can't even imagine how hard it must have been for developers. The gaming community seriously sucks sometimes...

see um, that's kind of "A Problem™"'. In a perfect world you could just do that, but we don't live in a perfect world. If you don't market the game both before AND after release, then you're not getting the fanbase as large as it realistically should be, and your game will end up rotting away unnoticed. There's many stories of poor marketing ruining entire franchises and even studios, to prove this ain't a good idea. This is double as important for indie devs where their funds prior to development come from things like Kickstarter and Patreon. People only invest in that kind of thing if they know their investment is in good hands, so they need to generate hype quickly so more people are willing to get invest. If they can't do that, the game is dead in the water at worst, and shoddily scrapped together at best.

Even it's a simple feature, still takes time, and the more you add, the more interactions and so on you need to make sure works. I suppose without those crunches, those games would either never have been released or been pushed back a lot, and seeing Cyberpunk, I don't know if the community would be happy with that... Oh, and profit too, the longer it takes to release, the more the company bleeds money. Games don't make money until they release or Early access.

This is two years old but I have to share. Marty is 100% the kind of manager some software teams need. Personal crunch bleeds into a crunch culture, because once some devs start putting their lives on the backseat, it creates expectations from the clients and even other managers. I worked with a lead developer who would set deadlines around his crunch behaviors. His goto deadline was "2 weeks." What the client and managers didn't know is that those 2 weeks included 20 hours on weekends, and an extra 2 or so hours each day of the working week at home doing more work. I didn't want to do that, I wasn't even expected to do that, but suddenly I couldn't say "this will take 4 weeks" without having to argue "why? he can do it in 2," because I wasn't trying to crunch my way through it, and my managers ultimately were more interested in the client being happy so they didn't really push back or fight for a longer deadline. This built an expectation in my products that I had to crunch, because he set a standard that was not feasible without putting in that extra time. It ultimately made me a miserable person and led to me being fired because the stress overwhelmed me and affected the rest of my work. So, I'm glad you pushed back on that guy a little bit, in a respectful way of course, and I'm glad people like Marty are out there setting reasonable expectations for their employees to prevent that from spiraling. Sometimes passionate people don't realize how their seemingly personal toxic behaviors can become something that is no longer personal. It's fine to be passionate and want to work extra, but businesses are about results and it can transform into something much worse real quick because they won't see the human cost, either on purpose or otherwise.

This lasted as far back as I remember up until I physically couldn’t anymore. Health got in the way and I became physically disabled. Crunching probably didn’t cause my disability but it sure didn’t help when I had to learn the concept of pacing myself by physically not being able to do it anymore. I had to learn not to care and it might be now I care too little but at least I can take care of myself.

Yeah, that sounds like actual abuse. This kind of workplace behavior should be illegal. People working at a company are still human people, and thus need to have decent lives. Higher ups can't just ask literally anything of them and expect them to do the impossible and not drop dead on the floor. People have a life outside of work. You deserve better, honestly. Many do.

This video comes outta the blue, and describes exactly what's happening in my life right now. I work as a programmer for a digital marketing company. We are just 2 programmers there. I always have to cut my lunch break and work every day overtime comoleteo for free and without insurance. The bosses got so good at this that they managed to brainwash all my colleagues who do the same, and made them think this is a good thing, because it's for the good of the company. They're actually HAPPY to do that. I'm literally using all the money I get from this work for paying a psychologist, and I still feel like I'm not living anymore, because, well, that's the truth. The only thing that makes me keep going is the fact that I'm getting the mandatory work experience that all the other companies want if you want to work for them, so that I can leave this company and get to another one, hoping I will get luckier. How much will I be able to sustain it? What will happen when I will break? What am I even living for? To work?

Idk how many people know this, but foie gras isn't just the liver of a goose. It's the liver of a goose that was force-fed "human-caterpillar" style. Along with basically waterboarding the geese using a funnel shoved into their esophagus, they're also restricted to living in a confined space that restrict their movement. This process creates rich fatty livers that are considered a French delicacy, but is honestly just glorified liver puree.

I agree with the point on crunch you want to do vs crunch you need to with both being damaging if you're not careful. I used to go from one video project right to the next without any breaks. Eventually I started forcing myself to actually take breaks and holy hell I immediately felt better. I got more sleep, I had a regular schedule, I had more time to talk and keep up with my friends. As it turns out, week ends are healthy, who'd have thought? These last few months I've just been working non stop on videos thanks to holiday releases and I've created a plan to take 2 weeks off while still having content to post during that time. A year or so ago I wouldn't have done this. I'm very looking forward to it. And when NINTENDO of all companies are able to do right in this regard, you know something is messed up.

I work in the military and these guys work similar hours to us on deployment during crunch. The difference is we're mostly doing tasks we're specifically trained to do, and the tasks are simple enough. Not draining, thought-provoking work that's difficult to get right. We work this hard for national interest and so our families can live to see us, and so other people can live to see their families. They work this hard so a handful of impatient assholes can get their game faster. We work this hard knowing our families respect what we do and why we're doing it. Not only that, but we volunteered, and everyone knows how hard we work. Some of these people's families don't really know how hard these people are working, and their families might not even understand, or respect what they're doing. Point is, it's wrong for civilians like this to work as hard as they do for not even half of the pay or benefits we get.

After watching this video I’ve formed a little visual equation of crunch. Work is like a fire. That fire keeps you warm at night, cooks your food, and provides light. It is great for all of these reasons because it is comfortable and provides you with life. Crunch is you adding more fuel to the fire. Sometimes you need a bigger fire to feed the travelers that come your way, or provide more light for those lost in the dark, or simply because it is freezing cold. But add too much fuel and the fire becomes an inferno, totally out of your control as it consumes everything and everyone in its path to feed the flames that provides you with so much. Until theres nothing left. Sometimes this inferno is started by a poor decision to pour gasoline on the fire. But sometimes it wasn’t you who poured the gasoline. This fire is important. It provides you with everything you need so that you can achieve happiness and safety. But while it is your greatest tool it can become your greatest danger if managed improperly, either by you or a misguided traveler. Don’t let the fire rage beyond your control. Edit: So I had to come back to this video after learning about the scummy underhanded tactics Noodle used in his “bigger games” video. It’s hard to take this video and argument seriously when the guy is actively advocating for all the bad practices in the game industry with a different video, especially when Crunch is a symptom of those practices. If you see this comment: unsubscribe from this guy. I already have. He’s nothing but a hack and a liar, and is only interested in money. He’s not Mr. Anderson, he’s just another Agent Smith.

If I may add, once a bonfire becomes an inferno, it's going to burn through the fuel it has at an accelerated rate. In that instance, you may have limited fuel that will quickly wane and might burn out at the most inopportune time. If someone else fueled your bonfire with your spare fuel to the point of it becoming an inferno, and it burns out, reigniting that bonfire won't be an easy task, and even if you manage it (a.k.a. managing to come back to the development team after becoming a stress casualty), that fire won't ever burn the same as it did before.

This isn't just a problem in the gaming industry. I experienced this in the finance sector, too. I was a commercial real estate analyst. It was my job to analyze commercial real estate loan requests and make a recommendation of approval or denial based on my findings. One of our department's main sources of revenue was loan origination fees, so there was a massive incentive to try and process, and approve, as many loan requests as possible. Of course, I didn't receive any portion of the origination income, yet I was constantly under pressure to push through as many approval recommendations as possible by the loan officers, who did revive a portion of the origination income, and the department heads. I felt like it all fell on me, and I was constantly behind. The stress got so bad I started having panic attacks. This culture is so pervasive in the US, it has got to stop. It's not healthy, it's toxic.

I know I would, given the chance, because I simply love what I do. But I love it even more when I can have a life outside of it, eat, sleep -- generally take care of myself. They're able to make decisions about pushing things back, and have the sense in their heads that I lack about a work-life balance.

I've worked twelves and thirteens, and every time he tells me to not do that. He'll stop us working to make sure we all eat. I worked really bad places before, and have never actually felt loyalty to a boss before, be he's earned it time and again.

I’ve also managed to find my way into a healthy work environment. We don’t really have to deal with “crunches” very often but when we do it’s at absolute most a Month but usually about a week or two. I’m lucky as hell.
