Ms McPherson also said the ruling makes it clear that employers “can’t hide behind” commonly used buzzwords like “collaboration” and “culture” when justifying the denial of flexible work requests.

Is not a bad time to point out that Australia just made it illegal to refuse remote work with out a legitimate reason. And a court has ruled that “face to face time is important to our office culture” is not legitimate. Nor is “productity is higher when everyone is on the office”.

hey remember how that one big tech ceo was on a panel in like 2021/22 where someone asked him about how remote work gave a lot more power to the workers and he chuckled and said “yeah well a little recession will take care of that”
I think about that often.

Just fucking insane to see the absolute (intentional) collapse of full remote jobs available for AAA studios in so short a time. Why would I EVER move for a job again when I could be laid off weeks after moving my entire life across the globe??

WE WON! After 42 days of striking we have a tentative agreement in hand that protects our existing 4 day work week, establishes a minimum salary, and adds protections against AI replacing jobs at our workplace!

If you're wondering whether joining the game workers union could ever make a difference, the execs at Rockstar certainly think so.
Rockstar union workers have set up a solidarity fund to help them survive and fight after 30 of them were fired in an attempt to destroy the union.
Help them fight back! If you can, any little bit you can donate will massively help their efforts.
