Happy 8th anniversary, Tari! I didn't, couldn't forget. I just got onto it fairly late this time, but I still delivered. Viva Tari! (Mobile-ish version and timelapse in the replies.) #art #digitalart #drawing #rkgk #watercolors #tari #smg4tari #tarismg4 #smg4 #metarunner #metarunnertari #glitch

A wallpaper-suited drawing of Tari from SMG4/Meta Runner, where she stands before a black void, a bright blueish light emanating.
A square wave splits her apparence in two; one side is her current self, the other side is her Beta design.

So the op deleted their post, but I did still want to highlight glitch productions supposed bad working conditions through glassdoor, because its something i believe should be addressed

A review on the site: "Glassdoor", showing an anonymous review for Glitch Productions

The title is:
"Supportive colleagues overshadowed by mistreatment of LGBTQ artists."

Pros:

Great artists & colleagues. The support around me got me through the toughest times in my life and made what I'm about to go into bareable

Cons:

Management is malicious and will target you if you don't slave away like everyone else. I've witnessed so much favoritism & targeting toward some of my colleagues being here, and I've never felt more unsafe.

For LGBTQ artists specifically, there's so much disconnect & mistreatment between what the company says and what they do. If you're not a man forget about any sort of career advancement here. The amount of misogony, homophobia, and transphobia here mentally drained my passion for art.

Advice to Management

A full re-haul and real accountability from the upper management, and an HR.

A review on the site: "Glassdoor", showing an anonymous review for Glitch Productions

The title is:
"Avoid working here, especially if you are a woman."

Pros:

Outside of management, the team was lovely and all reached out to offer their assistance (even in an attempt to help train me as they noticed I was being given an unfair onboarding).

Cons

The culture at this workplace was the worst I have ever experienced. Unfortunately the teams are overworked; something I both observed and was verbally told by them, and management uses those who have over packed calendars as ‘examples’ for future scheduling.

As someone with a lot of Production experience in large companies, I was hired and then bullied, from the get go. After much reflection and undoing the harm this workplace did to me, I now realise it was an experience rooted in both misogyny and a lack of ability (on their end) to handle their rapid company growth.

During my onboarding I was scheduled tasks with two days to complete them; a list of task resulting in roughly a week of working hours, one of these tasks was to watch every piece of Glitch content. This resulted in me needing to create additional time after hours to get through basic on-boarding. Although one example of unrealistic expectations when assigning tasking, I found this was consistent with all team members and their scheduling from upper management.

While unrealistic expectations was at the forefront of how upper management wanted their teams to run, another attribute that I found added to the negative work culture was the public shaming that often occurred. On one instance myself and a more junior associate were publicly told to “use their brains” via a management slack thread. Just one example of the humiliation rituals that seemed to occur often if an individual made a mistake.

Advice to Management:

My advice would be to undertake some company training with a focus on building positive work culture. Productivity is important howev…

A review on the site: "Glassdoor", showing an anonymous review for Glitch Productions

The title is:
"Supportive colleagues but poor upper management ruin the entire company"

Pros

- Everyone on the lower levels of the company are incredibly nice and wonderful to work with both from production and artists
- Nice office space location and facilities

Cons

- Upper management is completely out of their depth with not much experience managing such large scale operations
- Incredibly high unrealistic expectations with pay that does not match said expectations
- Management is too focused on clout chasing rather then practical decisions especially when it comes to who's hired or who's posted on social media
- Probation is seemingly impossible to pass with promises of full time work to get you to burn yourself out to be cut for benign reasons
- Management coerced staff to create fake glass door reviews to fix their tanked rating
- Blatent misogyny from one the execs directed at female staff working under them
- management does not value good work culture if it interferes with unpaid overtime and any sort of dip in productivity and cannot see the bigger picture

- most issues from the company boil down terrible mismanagement from the upper execs and with a good change of management all could be resolved

Advice to Management

- Take a step back and realise this is no longer a group of friends hanging out having fun making art and is a multi million dollar company with hundreds of employees all around the world and maybe let go of the reigns and hire an actual team of professionals to manage the business who knows how to follow laws and regulations set up by the government for a reason

Calling Out Post: F*ck it, going to share this now since nobody on here has mentioned this. When I was on a Discord server once, I've had a misfortune of having to deal with a Meta Runner fan by the name of "Portersona" or "Gaymer Girl."

So you mean to tell me that microtransactions - a predatory practice making gaming worse that often targets children - were something the world’s most infamous child predator was a fan of. And of course Bobby Kotick’s in the files. You can’t make this shit up.

Joanne’s team reached out to Epstein. Not the reverse. And years after he’d already been committed. This would destroy anyone else’s career, but Joanne will just look at the reports, say something smug, blame trans people some more, and then go bathe in her endless money.

As of today I’ve removed Twitter from my phone and locked my account. Elon going all in on Generative AI, including enabling Grok to generate deepfakes OF MINORS is unconscionable. This year we ALL need to be louder than ever about this: GenAI is largely unethical and needs to be regulated.
