Gunzilla Games has had a few layoffs over the last year or so due to financial difficulties, after its title ‘Off the Grid’, a free-to-play Battle Royale game supported by NFT’s has seemingly not hit the player numbers Gunzilla Games were hoping for.
And it’s hard to have sympathy for someone who takes and keeps a job at a company that has NFTs as part of their business plan. “Red flag” doesn’t begin to describe what a huge warning that is to stay the fuck away.
I say 2nd because there are legitimate mistakes that can happen. Software errors do happen and I've had a missed check, but the company had it resubmitted and in my bank 2 days later .
Exactly this. There was a pretty infamous outage in 2024 and a couple smaller ones in 2023. I don't think I know a single working adult that hasn't had at least one payroll delay for some stupid reasoning. I helped someone troubleshoot an issue that caused all of peoples second paychecks to be delayed. During onboarding they'd tell people to expect a delay in their 2nd paycheck and people just never complained for years. Banking is such a fragile part of infrastructure. It's strange to imagine someone quitting the second the paycheck didn't hit their account. I'm anti capitalist as hell and companies are not your family etc etc, but at least make a phone call or something first.

Still. It's not the employee's fault the leadership is full of absolute morons that don't understand employment laws.
Wages are the first thing you pay if you're not a complete shitstain of a human being for a reason.

Wow, I wonder why they're having a hard time paying their staff?

A missed sales window should not be the immediate and direct cause of dropped paychecks. That strikes me as extreme financial insolvency.
But hey, I suppose I’m preaching to the choir there.

I'm sorry but getting no pay for months? I'd be out after the 2nd missed check and grab a lawyer.

Why wait for 2nd missed? First time the pay is not in my bank account on the due date, I no longer work for the company.

While I can appreciate mistakes happen, I have bills to pay and any delays in payment will result in fees that I have to pay out of pocket.

Didn't they acquire game informer? Does this affect them too?

So quit?
nutbutter@discuss.tchncs.de · 5 pts · 148d
Quitting would mean they won't get paid at all. No?
sturmblast@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 148d
So you'd choose to work for nothing instead?

Protesting might help you get the full salary. Luckily, this never happened to me. But if it did, then yes, I would leave within the first month.
