oh i 100% believe there was a toxic work environment after seeing some of the employees on twitter. but i think we know which side it was really coming from
for example https://twitter.com/TravelSizeTrish/status/1576648773648154624 (just realised this isn't even a za/um employee they're a former blizzard employee. but there was an actual za/um employee saying the same stuff. wish i could remember their name)
publicly and problematically been pro-Russia and Stalin state
:based-department:
also what the fuck does "Stalin state" mean, like Stalin's state or something? Is this some new level of smearing where we claim the Soviet Union was personally owned by :bugs-stalin:
but you see Stalin had a kind-of nice car he got driven around on for official occasions, that means he totally was a gajillionaire who owned every acre of land and bushel of wheat in the entire USSR!
This is incredibly terminally online but here's my personal theory for what happened in the workplace environment.
I think that a lot of ZA/UM's hiring done in the UK , and especially London, has brought a lot more middle class-first world, social democrat and "anarchist" (not real anarchists, the anarcho-NATOist weirdos) type into the company. And they've clashed with the Kurvitz's self described "We were anarchists, after all - growing into hardboiled Marxist-Leninists on empty stomachs" (I only mentioned Kurvitz because he wrote the outro. I don't know how the other two would call themselves)

you should see the stalin net worth calculations. they try to claim the gdp of the soviet union was his net worth lol

Yeah, US president in Air Force One is just smol bean but Castro is evil because he had a nice desk.
If the car was a total piece of shit they would've said it was evidence of the USSR's poverty. Can't win
:parenti:
Sounds like some early 2000s "reality tv" show.

i remember seeing a post about how there were basically no original ZA/UM devs anymore, the studio was chock full of english academy brits
The "toxic culture" is entirely a result of those 4 dunking on their lib colleagues
Oh so they're the good guys still
