    Valve has been compared to Lord of the Flies because of its corporate structure by multiple people who worked for them. The company has an internal ranking system that determines compensation. It’s also one of the least diverse workplaces in its industry, being overwhelmingly white and male.

    So, while I’m glad that Gabe was nice to one of his direct reports, the reality is that the president of the company being nice to one specific person doesn’t make the company good or ethically ran.

      Yeah but it’s typical to spew negativity without having any solution

      You really prefer amazon’s meat grinder policies?

      No Corp has ever been good we can still hope and try

        This is a genuinely awful set of takes.

        Yeah but it’s typical to spew negativity without having any solution

        Here’s a solution: wholesale reject capitalism as an economic system.

        You really prefer amazon’s meat grinder policies?

        Because that’s literally the only two options here: Valve’s way of doing things and Amazon’s. Really? Try again.

        No Corp has ever been good we can still hope and try

        I think you misspelled cope and cry.

          No I did not misspell
