It looks like this has the makings to be “EA Spouse<\/a>” all over again, but this time it’s Rockstar that’s drawing the ire of the significant others of their allegedly overworked employees. An anonymous letter<\/a> was posted on a Gamasutra members blog under the screen name “Rockstar Spouse,” although the contents of the letter claim it represents a collection of spouses standing up against what they allege are “degrading” working conditions at Red Dead Redemption<\/a> developer Rockstar San Diego.<\/p>\n “Till present, the working conditions persist to deteriorate as employees are manipulated by certain hands that wield the reigns of power in Rockstar San Diego,” the blog post alleges. “Furthermore, the extent of degradation employees have suffered extends to their quality of life and their family members.”<\/p>\n Among the examples of “degradation” claimed in the post are mandatory 12-hour work days, six days a week, and deliberate lies about deadlines. “The managers at Rockstar San Diego continue in their dishonesty, pushing their employees to the brink promising temporariness fully equipped with the knowledge of another deadline just around the corner,” the post reads. “The reigns whip again, and it becomes mandatory to work close to twelve hours a day including Saturdays, regardless if an employee has finished all his duties prior.” <\/p>\n Buy This Item: [Click here to buy this item]<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n
