like "She said her direct manager would ask her if it was hard working at Riot being so cute" that is a legit potential HR incident that i wouldn't care about because i would think that guy is an asshole. even if it was me being told something similar by a female manager i would be like "excuse me? what bs is that?"

"After an idea she really believed in fell flat during a meeting, she asked a male colleague to present the same idea to the same group of people days later. He was skeptical, but she insisted that he give it a shot. “Lo and behold, the week after that, [he] went in, presented exactly as I did and the whole room was like, ‘Oh my gosh, this is amazing.’ "

that would be a legit reason to question things... unless that "colleague" was slightly hire up the food chain then its bs again

probably an accurate picture of her

beard and all

atleast they're not console peasants

The woman who was asked about her World of Warcraft gear said she felt like an interviewee’s record wasn’t as valued as their ability to fit into Riot’s culture. Even outside of the apparent emphasis on being a “core gamer,” she questioned what interviewers meant when they talked about “culture fit.”

Kek

I never knew riot was this much based

Have more respect for them now

they're a riot

booo

off the stage

the solution here is: tell people to not work at riot, find a better game studio, or make your own

Knock Knock,

Who's there?

Fak,

Fak who?

Fakkaf you filthy casual!

its that simple

tbh, most game dev places SUCK to work at

As a self identifying Windup duck, I've oftened wondered why people don't just randomly give me money when they are passing near me. Now, I must assume they are WindupDuckAphobic.

not even valve, apparently, is that great either

if recent news is to be believed

tbh, I feel like most stories are exaggerated,

The average person is not that smart 😛

actually so true it's painful.

what she probably experienced was more nepotism that anything

yes

which is like "welcome to the real world"

my perception of "Professionalism" got ruined during my internship,

Where i could get away working for about 1-2 hours per day, still met demand

And could convince my direct superiors I was working long hours cuz they didn't understand code

that

and that most companies seem to have a vague feel of "one thing fucks up, its all over"

ye

but as for Nepotism

"Friends helping out friends"

Join their faction?

Become their friends, so that you're the next one that gets pulled ahead

I believe there are problems in riot

Imo

Plenty programers are autists

the problem she experienced is that they are nerds

and nerds suck at dealing with women

With spagheti in their pockets

true, Beta males are a nightmare

You need to anticipate that when wanting to work there

some just can't talk to them, others see them as "inferiors", others might act normal

Or make your own company
