I work for a major games developer/publisher. Our submission packages are being built this week and will be submitted next Monday. We are supposed to be on-call this weekend just in case any problems in any of the systems we were responsible arise. No, I am not paid for being on-call, just like I am not being paid overtime. From what I can tell people are going to come in this weekend just to play the game and make sure everything works even though they are not getting paid for it.



Given that this weekend work is scheduled into the process, not paying you is intentional and well, grossly deviant. Grow a backbone or find another job. For all of us, stop letting this shit slide.
