No kidding. The disconnect I feel sometimes is kind of amazing. I've been working overtime every week for the last three months. I know people who beg for overtime, who try to transfer into departments that give out the most overtime. I don't think I've worked anywhere that didn't have some mandatory overtime to some degree. Sometimes things just have to get done--and if they don't, it affects everyone. You don't just go, "oh, only the management has to worry about that," and think the consequences won't trickle down. Then I come online and see people comparing a short period of overtime to slavery?
And what I'm doing now is nothing compared to when I owned my own business. But people think the the guys at indie studios aren't working their asses off? Many of them are probably clocking more hours than anyone.
