Javier O'Neill delte detteI can relate to this 100 percent. Professionalism isnt two way road. You can spend days working on an art test, then get fired over Teams with 10 mins warning.Javier O'Neill delte detteGetting hired requires 4-6 rounds, an art test, a portfolio review, and 3-6 months of probation... Getting fired requires a 15-minute HR call. The hiring process: - Initial screen with HR: 45 minutes - Portfolio review with hiring manager: 1 hour - Technical interview: 1-2 hours - Art test: 20 to 40 hours of your time - Final round with the team: 1-2 hours - Offer and negotiation: 2 weeks - Total: 3 to 4 months minimum The exit process: - Sudden HR meeting appears out of nowhere - 15 minutes. - Done. The asymmetry is not accidental. It is a legal and financial structure. Probationary periods, at-will employment clauses, and rolling contract terms are designed to minimize the cost of exit while maximizing the quality of entry. You are evaluated across months before you are trusted with the work. You can be removed in an afternoon with no review process, no appeals, and in many studios no explanation beyond legal minimum. The system was built to protect the studio, NOT you. ArtBlast sends 10-60+ art jobs daily. Always keep your options open. Has your exit from a studio ever matched the effort they put into hiring you?

Javier O'Neill delte detteAgree, but when ot comes to their salary, its easier for your colleagues to dump you like you never managed.Javier O'Neill delte detteI find it so strange that when you get laid off, your coworkers who managed to slip the noose just completely stop talking to you. I was your jovial colleague a day ago, side-Slacking with you during boring meetings, and now I'm persona non grata? Just be a human. Say any variation of, "I'm sorry. This sucks. I'll miss you. Good luck." It's not that complicated. And it goes a long way toward making a really hard moment a little less lonely.

Javier O'Neill videredelte detteJavier O'Neill videredelte detteEr det snart slut efter fire års kamp for et fleksjob? Jeg har delt min historie flere gange herinde. Om afbrudte uddannelser og jobs, stress, angst, belastningsreaktioner. Om at være fanget i jobcenterforløb, der føltes endeløse, på kontanthjælp. Om at blive sendiagnostiseret autist med ADHD. Min hemmelige drøm har længe været et fleksjob. Men jeg turde ikke sige det højt. Ikke før jeg selv var klar – og da jeg endelig gjorde, blev det ikke altid mødt med forståelse. Det hele begyndte for alvor at vende, da jeg i april 2023 mødte Elin Hausle og Erik Hausle Steppat for at tale om en praktikplads hos Vi2Sammen. Det blev startskuddet på en vej, jeg næsten ikke turde håbe på. I december 2023 blev jeg deltidsansat hos Vi2Sammen, nu ArbejdsmiljøEksperten A/S, og da jeg vendte tilbage efter barsel, fortsatte jeg med 10 timer om ugen. Men noget ændrede sig i mig, da jeg blev mor. Der voksede en stædig styrke frem. En beslutsomhed om, at jeg ville i mål med det fleksjob. Ikke kun for mig selv, men også for min datter. Hun fortjener en mor i trivsel. Jeg fik hjælp takket være hårdt arbejde og gavmildhed. En privat socialrådgiver ved min side, og selvom jeg ville ønske, det ikke gjorde så stor en forskel, så gjorde det det. Men det burde ikke være sådan, at muligheder afhænger af ressourcer og netværk… Nogle gange er virkeligheden desværre bare sådan. Hos Gladsaxe jobcenter arbejdede jeg efter min barsel sammen med en fantastisk IPS-konsulent, hvor min historie, arbejdsevne og mine funktioner var i centrum. Jeg startede i et psykoterapeutisk forløb for at få afdækket min arbejdsevne. Alligevel sad jeg ofte med en følelse af at have arbejdet så hårdt og så målrettet – men uden at være tættere på målet. Der var hele tiden et pres for at afdække lidt mere, presse lidt mere, vente lidt længere. Men så kom forandringen. Den, der føles som et friskt pust. Jeg er landet i Furesø kommune. Jeg har haft min første samtale, og jeg er sjældent blevet mødt med så meget tillid og fælles retning mod samme mål. Lige nu tør jeg stadig ikke tro på, at jeg måske kan få et fleksjob, inden jeg fylder 30. Jeg bliver nødt til at se det, før jeg tror det. Men det er det, vi arbejder mod – også gerne før jeg runder de 29 til sommer. Der er et lille håb. En drøm om ro. Om at gå på arbejde. Om at få en løn, jeg kan leve af. Om frihed til at være mor og menneske uden konstant kamp. Jeg krydser alt, hvad jeg kan. Og jeg håber, at andre i samme situation må blive mødt med samme menneskelighed og samme vilje til at hjælpe. Systemet kan føles tungt og umenneskeligt. Men der findes mennesker – både indenfor og udenfor systemet – som insisterer på, at det skal lykkes. Og det betyder mere, end jeg kan forklare.

Javier O'Neill videredelte detteJavier O'Neill videredelte detteBeing unemployed is one of the hardest full-time jobs no one talks about. Think about it: You wake up every day with the same question—“Will today finally be the day?” You send out 50 applications, knowing most of them will vanish into the void. You fight imposter syndrome at 9 AM, rejection at 2 PM, and silence at 6 PM. And on top of that, you deal with: — Fake job postings — Ghosting — Ridiculous job descriptions that want “10 years of experience” for an entry-level salary Unemployment isn’t a break. It’s a battlefield with no map, no timeline, and no guarantee. The least we can do is be human. If someone asks for help—offer it. If they need a referral—give it. If they need guidance—share it. A tiny gesture from us can change someone’s entire career trajectory. And one day, it could be us on the other side of the screen, hoping someone cares enough to help.

Javier O'Neill videredelte detteJavier O'Neill videredelte detteGhosting candidates is never acceptable! I don't care how busy you are. I don't care how many applications you received. If someone took the time to apply, prepare, and interview... they deserve a response. It takes 30 seconds to send a rejection email. The impact of silence lasts much longer. Beyond common decency, there's a practical reason too: the marketing world is small. That candidate you ghosted might be your ideal hire in two years. Or they might tell others about their experience. Your employer brand isn't just what you put on your careers page. It's how you treat people when they're at their most vulnerable. #WinstonRowe #HiringMarketing #MarketingRecruitment

Javier O'Neill videredelte detteJavier O'Neill videredelte detteUnpopular opinion: Ghosting candidates after interviews is unprofessional — no matter how busy the HR team is. Candidates invest time, preparation, and hope into every round. The least they deserve is a clear update — selected or rejected. Respect should not stop at the interview stage. Hiring is not complete until communication is complete. #CandidateExperience #Hiring #ProfessionalEthics

Javier O'Neill videredelte detteJavier O'Neill videredelte detteSTOP Normalizing Layoffs. It is not “restructuring.” It is not “right-sizing.” There are real people losing their life stability because someone miscalculated. Most people who get laid off did nothing wrong. Companies - STOP pretending it’s about strategy. It is about:- Leadership guessed wrong. Growth was over-promised. Costs weren’t controlled early enough. People aren’t disposable. And we need to stop acting like they are.

Javier O'Neill videredelte detteJavier O'Neill videredelte detteAfter interviewing with several companies over the last 6 months, I have really become disenchanted with the recruiting process. Ghosting candidates is a sign that your hiring process is not candidate experience centered. Dear Candidate Name, We appreciate your interest in the Position Name at Company Name. We hope your interview with Interviewer Name went well. The hiring team is still reviewing candidates, we will get you an update in # days/weeks. Sincerely, Recruiter Name It is that easy. Three sentences to keep a candidate warm. It is considerate of time and efforts. so here's my call to action: PLEASE - disposition candidates timely or keep them warm. 👏🏻 DO BETTER.

Working in this industry feels like being a lemon, you'll have everything squeezed out of you and then get discarded afterwards when you're of no use.

Siân Knight it isnt really s public benefit, they are semi private companies , you pay monthly and after some time when you have been a member for so long, you can recieve the benefits if you lose your job, and you can get 60% of your salary or more,depending on how much you pay and there are job searching requirements based which unemployment insurance company you are a part of. If enough to live, not great but not desperate either.

Javier O'Neill reagerede på detteJavier O'Neill reagerede på detteIt's with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Jonas Springborg, who died this week after battling cancer. Jonas co-founded MOOD Visuals in 2013 together with his friends Christopher, Jan and Rasmus, driven by a vision to create concept art for the biggest games in the world. Through his creativity, determination, and spirit, he helped build MOOD Visuals into the company it is today. We will remember Jonas for the person he was: warm, kind, generous, genuinely interested in the people around him, and always able to make others feel welcome and valued. Today, we mourn the loss of a friend, a father, an entrepreneur, an artist, and a cherished member of our community. We are grateful for the impact he had on so many lives through both the relationships he built and the art he leaves behind. We miss you, Jonas. ❤️

Javier O'Neill syntes godt om detteThree years ago, my mentor Dr. Danette W. took a chance on me, and I couldn't be more grateful for where that journey has led. Today, I am incredibly honored to share that I’ve just been recognized in the Top 5 for Cruise Planners in the Southeast Region! 🚢✨ This is the most competitive region in the travel industry, with the majority of agents and the cruise industry itself centered around Florida, so this milestone means the world to me. We are right in the thick of vacation season, and last week ended up being one of my biggest sales weeks ever. I truly couldn’t have reached this point without Danette’s guidance, and of course, my amazing clients who trust me to plan their luxury escapes. A huge thank you to everyone who has supported my business and trusted me with your precious time off. Now, back to planning your next getaway! 🌊✈️ #CruisePlanners #TravelAdvisor #Mentorship #LuxuryTravel #VacationSeason #TopProducer

Javier O'Neill syntes godt om detteJavier O'Neill syntes godt om detteHow many things have to be broken in the world for this to happen Earlier this week, I put out a poll to get a sense of how many of our members are in the most serious of financial distress I had, as just an example, two different people who had been senior creative leaders at studios tell me they were now homeless or in shelters because they had been out of work so long, and because they lived in places with extraordinarily high costs of living I happen to know these two candidates. They are good, responsible actors who have tried *everything* we preach to find a path out: other locations, other fields, pay cuts, you name it I think about how many systems and things have to let these people down for them to go from being on top to being in such a situation The games industry itself Profit-seeking and AI seeking A total lack of labor and social safety nets Our apathy and/or lack of help at a social level There are enough resources at many large organizations and in many countries in this world for a senior, decades-long game developer to land on literally any better outcome other than being in a shelter or homeless And despite that, this is where we are landing some people who have given the most to our industry and to our world This is not 18th Century Europe. It is 2026 in America You have a right to feel however you want about it. It makes me sick

Javier O'Neill syntes godt om dettePeople who love to use AI gleefully go around claiming everything is AI in an attempt to discredit anyone with human content and prove AI is being embraced with love and excitement. Because once everything is AI, then no more human-to-human bickering will exist and we can turn off the internet and let the AI data centers fight one another into oblivion.
