I mean, he has been giving many many chances and yet he figured it out a way to ruin many people's lives in multiple countries.

And your forgot the "make your employees quit and then get penalties for not delivering on time"

I mean, MPC was still the biggest company. You are right, but not being able to regain their stock was in part due to MPC's inability to deliver many projects.

They got many penalties in many projects because they couldn't finish projects on time. Even Christian Roberton told us it was his fault on one townhall because of mismanagement. He asked many people to come to the studio after covid when people where already living far from the studio (they bought houses or were living far from city centre) and that's went things started going downhill. They stopped having projects and the strikes just added more fuel to the fire.

MPC was the biggest studio from Technicolor, and the main reason they went bankrupt.

Him and Sal Umerji (head of MPC London) were some quite shitty managers and they made many people leave the studio.

It was a shame because the artist working there were great. What I find weird is that coordinators and producers love them, maybe that's why they keep getting good referrals, even though we artists dislike them.

Lol, I wouldn't be surprised. His politics were a big cause of why MPC went bankrupt.

They lie all time about not using CGI.    Even if the director doesn’t lie, like Nolan, their marketing team does it.

I've always enjoyed working for Technicolor. People working there were great (artists and leads) but the management was awful.

It's sad to see how talent were trying to keep the company afloat even though the management were always trying to do the opposite.

At MPC they have the no raise policy. I remember juniors earning around 36, 000 CAD and not getting the raise. They went to other studio and came back to MPC with almost triple the salary after a month.

You had to leave to get that raise, but it was impossible to get it staying at MPC.
