Great Resources, Terrible Micromanagement
Great Resources, Terrible Micromanagement
Can be a great place to work. Working for a large company has many benefits in terms of pooled resources and investments in technologies.
Wow, micromanagement galore. Too much management.
Lured to EA to work on a small project. Fantastic team. Then, with success, came "improvements." I.e., almost one-to-one producers/managers to developers. Truly bizarre.
Soon there will be more managers than people doing the work. Lack of respect for people doing the work.
Let your staff do their job. We know what to do and how to do it.
Quit and get a job at Starbucks. At least there you will only screw up people's coffee.
Live and breathe your message. It's totally obvious that EA isn't following the plan management is saying to the staff.
