Linus Tech Tips Discussion

p treating their workers with disdain, disrespect, and subjecting them to continued illegal treatment.   Thanks for your time, and I hope this is some truth that helps you all understand what's going on here at the moment.   I you would be so kind, you can contribute to the fundraiser to support those fighting their dismissal here: https://actionnetwork.org/fundraising/support-rockstar-workers-fighting-unfair-dismissals/   It would be really appreciated if you could also share the above link. I won’t be cross posting this to other forums, but please feel free to share.   Cheers x Summary of above quote Quote In the post, this employee claims that the fired workers were practically ambushed by the HR department, which called them over 'for a quick chat' and then handed a termination letter accusing them of misconduct related to Discord discussions, but provided no evidence or further details about the supposed offense. Those physically present were reportedly forced out within minutes. Others who were not at the office received a brisk phone call of less than two minutes and were notified that they would receive the aforementioned letter. Some of them were sick, even recovering from surgery, or on family leave, and this sudden termination leaves them financially vulnerable.   The anonymous employee adds that Rockstar fired critical staff, such as leads, artists, designers, programmers, and producers, many of whom had long tenures and clean records at the studio. Moreover, he counters the official statement, clarifying that the Discord channel in question was strictly for employee and union discussions about working conditions, not for game leaks; all those who got terminated were union members. The timing, the employee says, was clearly aimed at sabotaging union recognition, just as the union group had reached the size needed to initiate formal negotiations for better pay and working conditions. My thoughts Seems like Rockstar games is falling apart. I personally don't care much for the game but I do on their approach to 'union busting'.   Sources https://gtaforums.com/topic/1004182-rockstar-games-alleged-union-busting/#comment-1072605777 https://videocardz.com/newz/gta-6-delayed-again-now-set-for-november-2026-launch https://wccftech.com/anonymous-rockstar-employee-says-there-were-no-leaks-layoffs-union-busting
