>openly tweeting stuff like this when you are famous for paying shop staff and even the fucking Design Studio staff absolute pittances

I get it's meant to be a play on a meme but it's hilariously and disgustingly tone-deaf to their own underpaid staff

They have designers on £19-22k a year when the UK average is like £30-35k depending.

Just seems a bit weird how niggly the Warhammer official account has got recently, like being a bit spiteful about the femstodes stuff.

>They have designers on £19-22k a year when the UK average is like £30-35k depending.
This is genuinely on the employees, who accept pay well below the going rate just to be part of Games Workshop. The vast majority of GW staff accept below-average pay because they have a longstanding personal investment in Warhammer and want to be a part of it. GW can get away with offering less than other companies because there's enough people out there willing to take a poor deal to be closer to something they care about.
>>
>>93818350
This. Additionally the oldfags like Jervis Johnson and Jes Goodwin have big bonuses that new blood designers will never see during their tenure at GW.

Ever heard the phrase "you get what you pay for"? If I worked on bri'ish poverty pay rates I'd also shit those mirrored abominations out in half an afternoon and then spend the next 6 months pretending I'm still hard at work on them while playing phone games and seeing if I can guzzle down enough of the free, low-grade office coffee to brew a shrieking thundershit capable of cracking the toilet bowl in half.

fwiw, 'designers' in this context is games designers, not sculptors. The 19-22k range is based on what James Hewitt's salary during his time as a rules writer. Sculptors are actually (allegedly) some of the better paid staff on the production side of things

They get lower quality workers that way though. Comic companies in the US employ that same strategy and it has been a disaster for them. Turns out when you pay 15 dollars per page you get the shittiest writers in the world, no matter how much they love Superman.

>>93822190
All I need to see is a designer saying "so glad to be part of the team that designed this model".
Theres no individual artistic vision that gave us the iconic designs of 40k. As you say managers will be shitting on and changing every other element.

They don't seem underpaid by the standards of shit UK salaries.

>>93822144
Because it's distributed like picrel. Basically, if around half the population have a salary between £0 and £35k p/a, then the remaining half are spread across the entire range from £35.1k p/a up to the highest annual salary in the country. So there are as many people on each side of the median, but the side above the median covers a much, much, *much* broader range of salaries, with fewer and fewer people at each higher step. The median is being dragged up by the small numbers of people at the extreme right end of the curve, the BBC presenters being paid over £1mil a year and the like

Yes. Looking at the data the UK is slightly cheaper than Canada. I am young and just finished high school and am earning 65k CAD. Which is about 36.5k bong dollars. I am having to penny pinch and budget dramatically to live in a slightly more expensive economy. And I am already earning more than the average Brit. In 4 years on my set pay scales I will be earning 120k. Which is about 73k bongs and by then I will probably be able to live comfortably. So again I ask how the average bong survives if that is the average salary. And our economy is dogshit, our pay is low compared to America and everything is more expensive and we get taxed more. So I assume bong taxes are closer to American levels.

They don't. They're rapidly becoming poorer and losing their last shreds of relevancy. Unfortunately they speak English so they're always shitting up every discussion about politics pretending they have a 1st world economy. Half the doomerism about the US economy is actually just downwardly mobile brits who think they're still a serious country that's equivalent to the US

The US is the promised land. I am Canadian and 100% seriously would support total annexation of Canada into the US. Or at least Alberta. I can already imagine the cheap flights and higher salaries. I would be able to afford tickets to fly out to big cities on long weekends to play tabletop.

NTA but assuming Anon is boasting is bad faith. Regretfully, earnest truth can be very ugly in our schizophrenic society. In a world dominated by inflationary fiat money, companies have to secure funds from the government/their goons more than they need to provide goods/services to customers for revenue. Thinking that CEO's are overpaid because they aren't productive is a Materialist mistake to make. CEOs don't make widgets, they do elite vibes. Being with friends/related to the right people in/around government is what'll make you and the company you lead successful. Normie customer bucks are a small & depreciating commodity especially contrasted with freshly printed, or gently laundered, govbucks. Only so many people on Earth have the right Ivy-League-1%er-type connections to make it rain and keep your competitors broke/banned/etc. Additionally, big CEO pay makes your company/CEO seem more important to the people who matter(hint: not you). If capitalism weren't a dead meme, corporate leaders' pay would reflect what they did instead of who they are.

Well quite, it's the reason I didn't work there. Manager of business analytics *and* I know the hobby well enough to pick out specific details and fuckups others would miss. I like the hobby but the pay they were proposing was nowhere near what it needed to be.

However, companies like this that people 'want' to work at can get away with paying less. At a cost of high turnover and associated training costs once people get bored/disillusioned. You lack experience and continuity of staff, depending on your industry that may or may not be a problem.

Designing. Not making. Not shipping. Not even selling. They're just one tiny cog in a machine that ultimately... sells toys to autists. Their value is what they're paid, and if they don't like it they can go design somewhere else.

>Take rent and a car to travel away and you are talking about £400-500 a month
My car costs me £30 a month for road tax, £100 a month for petrol, and £20 a month for insurance. My rent+bills is £800 a month. My food is £200 a month, and I put £200 a month into a second account for frivoulous spending. That's £250 left over on a £22k salary that goes straight into savings, so an extra £3,000 a year not being spent.

I'm sorry you're shit at budgeting, but again that looks like your math issue taking precedent. £22k is perfectly viable to live on.

I think we've already established it's not living on the edge at all. I've also not said I WANT people to do so, I'm saying £22k a year is perfectly acceptable for people whose "job" is to draw toys. Want more money? Get a better (in this case "real") job. Don't expect to live even more luxuriously just because you're self-entitlement is blinding you.

Correct. If you have talent, and you are accepting far below what you should be getting paid just to work at "your dream company", you're a fucking retard who deserves poverty. Especially if you support current GW as they do everything they can to change the game so they can milk Fink for all the ESG bucks they can.

Hammerfags on both sides of the aisle - those working for GW and those buying products - are some of the biggest fags in tabletop right now, since they support a company which openly hates them.

1) Nerdshit has never required nor ever had a high caliber level of creatives involved with because

2) Nerds have no taste and will slop up any garbage. Nerds are the ultimate consoomers, tasteless retards who will pay hundreds if not thousands of dollars a pop for .05¢ worth of plastic or cardboard and ink.

This is why company's like Games Workshop and White Wolf and Wizards of the Coast can absolutely shit on their fandoms and consumers are every turn and still get their balls gargled at the end of the day, because nerds are stupid retards that deserve to get exploited.

“Go out and get a different job if you’re so unhappy” is and has always been a bullshit non-rebuttal. You are in no way guaranteed a job anywhere, and employers will always lowball wages as hard as they possibly can because with today’s highly educated working age population, each individual worker is both worth less and more replaceable. Aside from that, no, having enough money to pay bills, eat low quality food, and pray to whatever god will listen that you don’t get sick, or hurt, or have to have something replaced or repaired is in fact not adequate compensation. Having enough to not die is not living.

Underpaid workers do sloppy work and/or leave. If most of your workforce are practically interns, you don't get a quality product. And these things are priced up to the roof. Of course it's GW's priority to make the people actually working invisible, so good job on being a consooming cattle.

Not really, it's more that you have no actual argument against it, you know it's right.
>You are in no way guaranteed a job anywhere, and employers will always lowball wages as hard as they possibly can because with today’s highly educated working age population, each individual worker is both worth less and more replaceable.
Except I've been told repeatedly that drawing toys is an extremely niche and skilled profession, which inherently means otherwise.
>eat low quality food,
Why are you eating low quality food? Learn to cook, it will help you mature.
>and pray to whatever god will listen that you don’t get sick
We have the NHS here, and sick pay exists.
>or have to have something replaced or repaired is in fact not adequate compensation
That's what savings are for. Hell, you could even cut down on frivolous spending to cover unexpected repairs.
>Having enough to not die is not living.
And here we have it, the truth of the issue: you're a self-entitled, over-dramatic child desperate for a luxurious life you don't deserve, while deriding the factually real existing luxury you can already have for £22k. Don't like it, get a better paying job. Can't get one, work up to it. Don't want to do that, then go see how your sad demands work in a real impoverished country.

It is partly on them anon but it takes two hands to clap, GW has only ever taken young people with little experience and has done everything they can to remove all leverage by deliberately destroying their ability to make a living outside of GW.

Did you know that a GW employee is not allowed to do any work outside of the company, even for unrelated things? I interviewed with Forge World for an illustrator job in 2017 and was really taken aback by this when they told me I wasn't even allowed to do my own work.

GW used to give you credit for your work, run features on the staff so people got to know them, didn't pay well but took care of your housing and gave you a job in a relaxed environment you could at least count on keeping. None of that is true any more besides the low pay.
>>
>>93860147
The only reason they are like that is that the 40k autismus are so stoked to work at GW that they'll agree to anything. The next step is using the work of those newblood artist who signed it off to GW to train AI and kick the artists.
>>
>>93846286
All you retards spouting this nonsense are ignoring the fact it is totally normal to take a shit job in a field to make your name and pay your dues so that you can then make a career on your own. This goes for every top design studio in graphics, fashion etc. where you get ridden hard but even making it six months with them means you can walk into another company. This used to be the case at GW where you only got paid five grand a year but every employee could freelance and then go on to do their own thing. GW deliberately stopped giving credit to all creative staff for this reason.

You're making it sound like that was a defence of GW's business practices, not a criticism of GW employees for making dumb career choices because they're blinded by their fandom
If a company's treating employees poorly, whether that's in pay or conditions, the correct response is to withdraw labour until conditions are improved. The ones who know the pay/conditions are shit (which seems to be a lot of them, given just how many come out to publicly bitch about it once they leave GW), but continue to work there out of some bizarre kind of brand loyalty are scabs. Plain and simple

Whilst finding an appropriate image (from ex-GW chairman Tom Kirby's "Little Red Book") I discovered that Tom Kirby sold £20m of shares in 2018. A nice retirement but if he'd done it two years later he'd have got ten times as much lel. Serves the cunt right.

Makes me realize that sadly GW dumbing down AoS and 40k by removing hit and wound tables to flat values is probably a smart move to appeal to more people. The average person is really dumb. Niche games like HH or Old World and necromunda are the last refuge of kino in GW IP gameplay. I love old world and got back into TT because of it, but I hope it never rivals or surpasses AoS for that reason.

With £50 a month food expenses your daily meal costs less than £2 a day, where are cheeses, bacon, chicken and eggs that cheap?
>>
>>93860469
Buying cheddar cheese in farmfoods at one pound and butter at 1.49 per 500g and cooking bacon in lidl at two pounds a kilo, one egg is 15p, chicken can still be had for three pounds a kilo. I should also have added lard which has went up to 50p for 500g, a small jar of honey for tea is 75p.

These are all quality ingredients and I don't eat anything pre-made besides the cheese and butter. Two litres of milk is one pound from farmfoods of which I drink 500ml a day and I supplement D3, K2, C, zinc, creatine monohydrate and omega 3, all of which I have bought in bulk years ahead.

I am 240lbs @ 6' down from at least 320lbs. I no longer eat any pre-cooked food as it is too expensive and I have lost all desire for it but I used to go to the chip shop every day for lunch and would eat the infamous munchy box once a week which seemed cheap at the time but cost what I now spend in a week.

UK job market is terrible and companies here take advantage of low worker costs because it's just a revolving door of kids straight out of uni and either have to accept working their "dream job" or go work in a call centre.
It's the exact same thing happening in softwaredev/gamedev.
The housing market and low social mobility in the UK means the majority the people can't afford to turn down a GW job or take a better paying job in another city for example.
Plus its GW so there's plenty of retarded geeks who want to get fucked up the ass by them.

I along friends once got together and sued the company we worked at due this and other work conditions reasons (lifeguard).
The company refused to show up until the last warning, never said a single thing during the court cases and never denied the accusations. It still took the whole process almost 3 years and we were just paid what we weren't paud at the time +1k extra.
The company then hired a whole new team for next years, dumb foreigners without aelf-respect qnd did the exact same. Bcause they were from outside they had much more issues to complain. The company still does the thing.

We were also lucky too, the estate took care of the costs so we didn't spend any money on all this, but ut makes sense many workers would rather leave than fight back. The company can stall a lot and I have no idea why the law doesn't slap them harder for all the bullshit they pull.

I still don't understand why the
>"we never did that"

move isn't an instant punishment. You lied, you fucked the process and there was no reason other than greed. Regardless of the end result of the case, that should be fined hard.

It is when you're trying to create a cult more than a functional business. The entire book is full of that shit. It's full of the exact kind of thinking that lead to people doing stuff like "GW doesn't advertise" and there being "wrong" products to sell to people in their stores. You know, their stores that only sell their own products. Those stores.
If you ever want to know why GW is such a weird company, that book has the answers as even with Kirby booted, it is scarred deep into the psyche of the whole corporate structure. That and they're large enough that they pull from videogames for executives these days.

Honestly the only thing separating GW from a typical 'AAA' videogame company these days is GW hasn't had a big reveal that there's a massive amount of just open rapists and paedophiles running things.
