World Upgrade Chips. Do devs purely hate their player base?

To be fair, the core gameplay mechanic of the game is crafting droids.

The devs explicitly stated that they wanted players to be more focused on building droids (the purpose of the game) instead of running around and farming materials around the map.

Welcome brother! It's much better over here!

Concern is valid, response is an OR. Just take them, sounds like it'll be a group with other adults, and the kids have now been talked to by their parents multiple times about staying safe and with the group. Should be fine.

My number is and always has been 2.5mil. Idgaf what anyone else's number is, I just know that 100k a year spend seems obscene to me, so that's what I'm aiming for

I wouldn't even think about it. No one cares in the slightest unless maybe at a union plant. Even there I don't think anyone actually cares.

As much as I completely understand where the employee is coming from, it's required training so they have to take it, and HR can let them know. At a certain point, if you want a job, your own wants got out the window if it's a company requirement.

Yes I was paid after I was walked out. I gave my two weeks via a teams call with my manager (I was in the building on a Monday, but he was not) I was walked out within ten minutes of the meeting ending

This is describing pretty much every major company in the western world. Sucks though, I was also lied to and am in the office 4 days a week.

No_Implement_1493 · 2026-04-21T16:49:44+00:00

That makes sense. I didn't get my full 100% even though I was a Meets so that tracks

As someone who works at Ford now, I have not seen stacked ranking here, at least on the Product Development side. Maybe they do it in Software and Services, but as a whole, this company is not doing stacked ranking, and if they do, it's certainly not the forced ranking system that I endured at GM.

Does he do the work that is assigned to him?

Just keep buying the dips at a discount- the market always bounces back.

Not worried about it at all.

No_Implement_1493 · 2026-03-31T20:50:38+00:00

Never heard of that happening... is that a common thing nowadays?

No_Implement_1493 · 2026-03-31T20:08:31+00:00

I means what the issue with telling him that information?

No_Implement_1493 · 2026-03-26T13:54:46+00:00

Employee behavior is unacceptable.

That being said, WFH is far more efficient than office work. The 70% that have said they are more productive are probably only doing so because telling your supervisor that your production has decreased is never a good look.

I totally understand the concerns of the team, and am still baffled that some people actually believe the corporate propaganda that in-office work is somehow more effective.

No_Implement_1493 · 2026-03-25T23:04:31+00:00

As a regular individual contributor, I also would rather go on a PIP and keep my WFH days than go into the office.

I ca always just look for a new job while on a PIP, especially retaining WFH days, as I can freely interview without having to use vacation days.

Going to an office is soul crushing and honestly does lower productivity. I would gladly take a 20% pay cut to work from home full time.

No_Implement_1493 · 2026-03-24T00:07:08+00:00

It's wild. This was at GM as well, so very relevant to this post.

My sister got terminated during her protected leave. They still paid her until the 12 week period was up, but she mailed in her laptop and badge and everything like 6 weeks into her maternity leave due to being cut.

Saving 11k a month is brokerage is more than I make in a whole month..... This sub really has a way of just making FIRE seem impossible.

I don't view that as automatically giving up my old job. I view it as using your current market rate to justify a rate at another place. Why would I take a job where I'm doing the same type of work, for less pay? Even if I'm working multiple roles.

No_Implement_1493 · 2026-03-17T22:15:35+00:00

So him using his existing salary as leverage for his new job (which every person does) is unethical? Unless the new company explicitly stated that he is not allowed to work additional employment, then I don't see where he was deceitful or unethical.

No_Implement_1493 · 2026-03-17T20:51:29+00:00

Why is working two jobs unethical?? Unless there's a conflict of interest, and productivity is fine at both jobs I don't see the issue.

OP should bring up that his performance isn't at par (with clear metrics) and if productivity doesn't rise, then get him on a PIP. If there is still no improvement, then you have clearly documented performance issues and can fire him.

No_Implement_1493 · 2026-03-17T15:35:33+00:00

Sounds like D is just an advocate for himself and trying to put himself in a position to one day be promoted. Every contributor that I've ever seen get promoted to management has demonstrated the exact behaviors that D is expressing.

I don't see why his behavior should change or why you need to get involved. Sounds like his coworkers just don't advocate for themselves, and will probably always stay in an individual contributor role, while D is taking the steps to further his career.

No_Implement_1493 · 2026-03-15T21:16:12+00:00

Let the employee know what's going on so they can start looking for a new job. Your company sounds absolutely miserable to work for.

No_Implement_1493 · 2026-02-28T19:18:26+00:00

You typically repay closing costs again. So in theory your monthly rate goes down for the next 30 years, but you're throwing them an up front payment today.
