Take $1000/week median salary ($720usd)
Unpaid overtime is part of the industry right?
If an employee works 1 hour of unpaid overtime everyday this equals 6 WEEKS of unpaid overtime in a year. 240hrs Or $6000.
10 hours of overtime a week equals 3 MONTHS!! a year Or $12,000 unpaid!
>For every 100 hard working employees a studio can make an extra $600,000 to $1,200000+ per year in profit (saved labour). They just hire less people and get everyone to do a little OT.
Studios already make huge profits and even get tax credits!
Anyone who challenges this gets called entitled, or blacklisted by middle managers.
This is why studios have pizza parties and video games. They want kids, they are the easiest to exploit. $100 in chips and pop is cheaper than paying everyone what they deserve.
Studios today even go to high schools to recruit future workers. It's like child trafficking without the sexual abuse.
A studios end goal is to sell their studio to a larger production company anyway, not necessarily to make original IP's.
Why do studios operate this way?
When is a union coming?
