i'm not sure about that whole team bandi thing but if you want a well paying job in the USA you better expect that you will be working late and working weekends.


That is absolutely bs. Read my post above.


i'd actually say your post is BS.  performance is always constantly evaluated and putting in a 35-40 hour week when everyone around you is doing more puts you at the bottom of the list of valuable assets or alternatively, at the top of the list of people fired.

Considering I've always been a top peformer in work, won tons of awards, merit $ bonuses, yearly bonuses, raises, higher than average yearly % increases... I think you're simply in the wrong company.


If the guy sitting in the next cube takes 60 hours a week to do what I do in 35, I'm not the one that will be getting a bad performance, he is, that is how things work... ( I am one of those that put the lowest hours ( I take a 1h30 lunch break every day lol) and I had the highest salary increase of my team last year...)

Same here. I am known as one of the fastest devs and I am always the customer point of contact as well as the lead.

It always comes down to better project management. I know game studios have outside pressures due to market demands, however, if the project was managed with appropriate time tables that management could expect and understand why, you wouldn't have to crunch to catch up as you'd have a realistic timetable to begin with.
