On balance women developers are paid less than their male My argument is not that sexism is unlikely to play a part inĮxplaining why fewer women than men work in development, or even why I was surprised to see it happen here surprised when, strictly speaking, it wasn't a customer this time and I wasn't on the clock surprised that a personal opinion and insufficiently speedy response would so offend someone who, on Twitter, had only a day or two prior asked, “D o you live in a place where you can just order someone around without employing them? ” and “ Wanna tell me which human on this planet is entitled to someone else's time? ” Tattlebiscuit, it seemed, had staked claim to such a place on just such a planet. Among the many perks of salaried employment is partial impunity from such shit.
I lived that life, working grocery throughout undergrad education as well as when in graduate school while also teaching college courses. You know the sort they’re likely the same species that files abusive copyright infringement claims when their products are criticized.
Here is a screenshot of Shawn's tweet and a link to his actual tweet: ShawnElliott/status/ 343151754554269697 // i./hQkBdMY.png We would appreciate it if Shawn could abstain from posting such remarks in the future and if he would be so kind so as to issue a public apology to my employer, as unverified offensive statements aimed at industry professionals do nobody any good.”Īnyone who's worked in the service industry – and a great many of the people who follow the few of us who get to create or critique games for paychecks are there now – is familiar with the indignity of being called into the boss's office because a customer is willing to jeopardize jobs for slight service hiccups. We felt this most certainly constitutes getting off on the wrong foot, which led to my employer posting an audio clip directed at Shawn, meant to explain the entire situation in detail (you can listen to it here: ). Needless to say this tarnishes my employer's image greatly, all because of a misunderstanding. I don't even know why they asked for a mail adress, they never send any kind of account data or at least a confirmation or something.īut I'm still totally confused, I can't imagine there is no possebility to login but the webdesign is pretty easy to grasp so it's impossible that I overlooked it.Without confirming whether that image represented the entire conversation, Shawn proceeded to tweet the aforementioned remark about T otalBiscuit t o his 16,000 followers, which include a lot of industry professionals we are in contact with, have collaborated with or wish to in the future (names include Tom Ohle, Ben Kuchera, Evolve PR, Justin Kranzl, etc). So if you don't close your browser for 30 days you may maintain your premium access, but I didn't tried, obviously, so I don't know. As there is no login option you can't get into your premium access again. That website is scam, first everything was fine but when I closed the browser and tried it a few hours later the videos were blocked after 60 seconds again and when I typed in the mail adress I used before they wanted me to pay again. I was actually that stupid & bought one month premium access.
