7yWe are sorry for the experience you had. Having said that, isn't it amazing that you worked “for more than three years” in a place you despised so much? What motivated you do to so? Given the acute demand for talent in gaming, you could have gotten a job anywhere else if you wished?
Sorry to sound a bit direct, but your review seems very unfair and unjust for an employer with whom you spend 'more than three years'.
Now, let me share our part of the story. We are very tolerant employers. We don't 'hire and fire' (another reason why we don't pay obnoxious salaries that are inflated and then get deflated as per market movements). We let employees get better while suffering their mistakes in the hope that we all do better one day. If that doesn't happen after three years, we request the employee to move on.
Also, on some points:
- Yes, what the CEO says is final! That's what a CEO is hired to do!
- We pay Industry salaries that are sustainable. In the past 20 years of operations, we have survived and thrived for one reason and one reason alone - we understand what is realistic to pay (and charge). Many startups come into the market with hot funds, hire professionals just to build MVPs or get another round of funding. They pay weird salary hikes to achieve that. 98% shut down; they don't pay pending salary and leave the employee with an 'inflated salary slip' that no one in the market will pay ever again. That's mental trauma for an employee (to be told that he is not worth that much). We at Games2win don't do all this.
I would end my requesting to you reflect on what made you stay for 3+ years and then when you are in a stoic frame of mind, actually list what we both could have done to make the relationship last longer.
You say 'the attrition rate in incomparable' - Well it is!! We have scores of employees who have been around for 20-15-10-7-5 years! It is 'incomparable'.
Sorry anyway, good luck and God bless.
