I glossed over the example of the junior I worked with that lived in more expensive apartment. What was too common is young people who start out living way out of their means. Apartments fancier than what they need, new cars, and going out to eat all too often because they feel they hit the "big time" and wanted to live like it. Even senior artists would live together to save money because they knew there would be dryspells that they needed to have a saving for.
FINALLY PEOPLE ARE SPEAKING OUT!!! For the past few years that Disney and Pixar have been FLOPPING, I’ve been digging all of Reddit, twitter, the whole internet for the inside scoop as to wtf Disney is doing and nothing! So glad that they’re finally speaking out and wishing those poor employees the best.
I was the IT admin at a company for 17 years. At about 15 years, working from home, middle of the night weekends, putting in 12 hours days in office. I realized my home computer was full of work files, and my work computer had plenty of personal file. It took me better than a year to sort everything out. When at work. I run an isolated desktop I can access via a web browser that I use when at work for anything personal I do on lunch or break. It is just not a good policy to mix those files. I also know if I am ever given the boot. I can kill the remote desktop and my work / personal life is 100% severed.
At one job, we locked a person out of their personal files which included all their wedding planning documents. Sometimes an organization will give you a thumbdrive with your personal documents, but not always.
Thanks for the insight Kneepayne! I was briefly on the path to going into this kind of industry, but an injury basically sidelined me. From what I’ve learned over the past few years, it seems like it was a blessing in disguise.
@@kneepayne thanks for the encouragement, but my injury made my decision for me, unfortunately. But yeah, I guess I always knew deep down it would have been a temporary career choice.
I never understood "I rely on the bonus" thing. To me, a bonus is bonus, it could come or not. In the contract a person knows how many months they could work and they should build their future on that because it is more stable than a bonus. When you know how many months you will work you would know how much you will make in that period. The only thing you need to worry about is layoffs, which you need to keep counting for sadly. My advice to any new employee is, spend your money reasonably and always, count for the worst.
It sounds normal to me. I had to do heaps of stuff outside my contractual agreement. Had to do anything and everything to deliver. Sounds like a lot of complaining from young people. Animation and VFX is a pretty tough industry.
The major problem is the participation trophy generation finding out that, in the real world, you have to work for your supper and Mommy and Daddy won't be there to catch you when you fall. Welcome to adulting...you're going to hate it!
Its not about it being personal. Its about suddenly being fucked right after they busted ass putting out the movie. That totally sucks. Just because the way they did it was normal, doesnt mean its acceptable or even reasonable. My last job had a big layoff incident that was so mismanaged some people thought they were laid off and went home because their badges were deactivated. Its the reality, but it doesnt need to be. Thats why we need to catch up with this century and actually implement laws around this so the fucking is less one sided.
Calling it like I see it. I figure the people who write these articles have little knowledge of how it really is and so they print everything that believe makes Pixar look bad when in reality, some of it is business as usual. One can say, however, that the "usual" makes the whole industry look bad and I can agree with that.

Sounds like the video game industry.
Pretty much. I never worked in games but know a lot of people who have transitioned back and forth from animation and games.

I think it is fine to try it out. My advice is; do 2 or 3 shows, get it out of your system, and have an escape career plan.

Yeah, if you rely on it then its not a "bonus".
to me that reads as more we depend on the bonus for it to be worth while.
I really wish animators and game designers could start their own studios.
Some have in the past. Small studios doing small work (kids shows)
It sounds normal to me. I had to do heaps of stuff outside my contractual agreement. Had to do anything and everything to deliver. Sounds like a lot of complaining from young people. Animation and VFX is a pretty tough industry.
Exactly what I thought. Sounds like a vocal minority from the least experienced of staff that was laid off.

Unbelievable. Steve shouldn't have sold the company to the evil empire.

What are the odds these juniors who got fired are also the ones who originally wanted to make it gay?
Why were they fired though?
I heard reports on other channels. But I like how you can break it down so we can get a full view of the inside of a production. Great video. 💞💞💞

Ooh Disney, I feel the demise is on the way
Idiotic wokeness: the price of failure.
