Also just the AAA experience - its a boom and bust cycle: hire people, work them to death for release, and then lay them off after so the numbers look real good

When shareholders and stock prices get involved, humans stop being people.

We don't exist as individuals to the people in charge. We're just numbers in an accounting program. We're collectively part of one giant metric called Labour; a line item on a yearly budget that is meant to be managed and minimized for the benefit of the company's stock price.
