After 8 and a bit years, today is my final day in the old office for CIG. Its been a journey from day one where we had half the ground floor, to now outgrowing all 4 floors.
Looking forward to the new big office in Manchester!

"Why don't

people talk to us?"
"Why dont other members of the team go on camera?"
Everyone is of course entitled to their opinion and free speech, but that doesnt mean actions have no consequences, especially to junior members of the team.
The arrow made me laugh tho

Apparently it's my 6 years at CIG milestone according to LinkedIn. Time flies! Seeing the growth of the studio from day one where we occupied half a floor to now, where we should all be in the entire four floor building has been a fantastic experience and challenge

Kotaku doing their usual poor job of "reporting" again, to suggest other studios and management wasnt aware of the situation is ludicrous. The situation was discussed daily in meetings I was involved in and there was no expectation of people being available to work in ATX.

Nice little email at work today announcing that all staff are getting extra holidays, US staff get Easter/Good Friday and EU staff get Independence Day and Thanksgiving in return. On top of the Christmas break we get its close to 40 days holiday a year now which is spiffing.

I've not gone back and watched the CitCon recording, but seeing quite a few people quote me as saying "12 ships by the end of year" based on the big backlog square diagram.
There isn't 12 more coming by the end of the year, it was ships being introduced this year (i.e since Jan)

So I should've been home in the UK now and you all should've gotten more fun plane/train updates but instead my body decided to try and kill me.
Perforated stomach ulcer, 911 and emergency surgery Thursday night and was not a good time. Today is the first day I feel half alive.

Long weekend begins!
@CloudImperium
gives EU staff Thanksgiving and Black Friday off so the entire company has a break, in return US staff get Good Friday/Easter off so everyone gets a break.
It's a little thing but makes a big difference over the year.

Sent 150+ applications for junior design roles, 5 responded, 2 interviews, 1 offer from Black Rock Games.
They made me "redundant" 1 week before my start day, put it on my CV anyway and every application after called me in for interview.
Crytek UK hired me the next week.

If you get rejected from a role, DON'T DO THIS.
Not only do you get the entire hiring teams visibility, they all talk with other recruiters too.
This candidate on their cover letter also said they were a "nice person"

The new Twitter NFT profile thing is hilarious, especially as anyone can right click, save as one, mint it themselves and then they've got the same.
Almost like NFT's are completely pointless.
