You need a tabbycat, have a tabbycat

 

 

You're offering ME a tabbycat when you're calling yourself and your site "vroomvroom". Like I said, ignorance is bliss. *triple facepalm*

[llandwynwyn]

Yup.

 

Bioware hasn't been Bioware for many years.  They are Bioware: A Division of EA

 

idk EA has a lot of flaws, but I don't see them giving so little money that BW can't keep their own forums. If it comes to that, I think it'd have to be bad management from BW itself.

What's wrong with librarians? Most of them have Master degrees. Don't you and the others have new forums to go to?

I am signing off. I will be back when all of you leave or you force the closing of this thread, in which case, I guess won't be back, because I can't come back.

Well, we've had ours for a year, but,

I've never seen a fit thrown over tabbycat before:

My bad! Quoted the wrong post! *ruffles everyone's hair*

This thread... the drama is intensifying to the point where we may not be able to contain it.

For some reason, this decision is trending Facebook. I clicked the link and a considerable amount of people echo what we are saying in this very thread. Bioware, your Facebook fans are dismayed too!

Yeah but they can just block them and pretend everything is fine.

Why contain it? Let it spill out into the streets. People need to know.

 

By the way, have you guys seen the Glassdoor page for Bioware (http://www.glassdoor...iews-E22998.htm? What a hoot. Sounds like the place is circling the drain.

 

A choice review from an ex-employee:

 

 

 

Pros

- Used to be a great environment filled with great amount of world class creative talents.
- Work on a great AAA IP.
- Great location downtown Montreal.

Cons

- Bioware Edmonton and Montreal symbiosis is broken. Lots of conflicts and bro culture.

- Lost over 13 leads (game design, art, audio, prog, senior core leads, etc) in 5 years at Bioware Montreal on Mass Effect. Edmonton lost only 3. It is clear that Edmonton has the bigger part of the stick when it comes to purge Leads and Producers who are not aligned with their leadership style.

- Putting people on performance improvement program (PIP Program) is the new tactics to get rid of people. Once again more than 10 people in Montreal got slammed with this bureaucratic uppercut to let go people that are not bending to Edmonton leadership styles in the last revision cycle. This approach is used by the Montreal Leadership to purge the mess from the lack of vision cause by upper management in the last 4 years (throwing people under the bus to protect bad core management).

- Renaming crunch to Finaling mode. Which means company pays for your lunch but you have only 30 minutes to eat and then getting back on the keyboard. Was lasting for over 2 months and was a real catastrophy.

- Retaliation and harassment is sadly a reality. If you talk and ask questions you will be tag as a trouble maker and end up in a bad position.

- HR won't help you out. They will deny the current harassment from Monreal management by ignoring and not documenting the facts. In other words if you leave don't talk. Just let it go...

- Many benifits got cut due to too much time extension to get the game done.

 

And it's not the only one. All of the reviews posted over the last year say the exact same thing.

Why contain it? Let it spill over to Twitter and Facebook, let the whiners pile up on the forum.

Cassandra's best friend alt account.

Fixed.

[sandalisthemaker]

Damn, but this is some entertaining stuff. 

 

I'm really going to miss this place. Sure, we're a bunch of freaks, but you know what? That's ok! 

 

Facebook? Twitter? Tumblr? What a joke!  Nothing will come close to what this place was- is.

 

I've been here since late 2011, and I'll be here when the bomb drops.  

 

RIP BSN.  YOU ARE ALL FABULOUS.

Thanks for the link, it confirmed one thing I've suspect for ages.

Unless you were hired when the company was founded there is zero chance for advancement. Lots of weird politics, nepotism and unfathomable decision making. Management is clueless about building anyones careers but their own. Production always seems like its their first project ever. Get in, get a credit and get out. Innovation is rejected from a place of jealousy and insecurity as the old guard (the 1%) are easily th…
