Comment on Laura Fryer - HR needs to stay in their lane (and out of Game Development)

It’s simply that corporations don’t understand creative work.

I wish you were a tad politically literate. Capitalists are against 🌈creativity✨ Corporations are owned by capitalists. It is in their interests to exploit the workers’ creative process, even sabotage them, for undeterred profit.

They are meant quite literally to go counter to everything a corporate environment pushes for.

🤔 weird how that is, huh

I guess my thesis, seperate from Laura’s, is that HR and these other teams need to let creatives be creatives.

Then those teams have to be anticapitalist, by default.

HR should be there for HR reasons, Legal should protect the company from liability, and marketers should market the product, but none of them (or the executives) should be swaying the creative process to make their jobs easier.

Then you miscomprehend why executives hired all the above to sway the creatives to make their lives richer.

It’s their jobs to protect the creative process, not the other way around.

And this is the thesis, me, Velma, and other creatives have been saying yor millennia: vanguards are class traitors. They only exist to protect “executives.” “Executives” created HR to vanguard their interests.
