I'm not that familiar with the UK press landscape, but afaik the Guardian is considered somewhat leftist, innit? Would they be game for publishing paid corporate hitpieces about a labour dispute?

Cruella Braverman didn’t refer to us as the “Guardian Reading, Tofu Eating Wokerati” for nothing

Yes, I know how this works on the internet, if you weren't there it didn't happen. Moving on.

Well, I'd usually not stoop so low as to link a professional outrage monger, but seems like most other evidence was scrubbed




And HBMC's saucy interpretation of what are for sure Sophie Williams's now deleted LIES

Nah, sorry, my personal interest stops here. We started out theorizing about their internal managing processes and the lack of coordination therein, and now are already multiple layers deep in outrage-mongering, personal gripes, unspecific complaints about corporate culture and employee mistreatment that we can ultimately neither prove nor disprove, and sleuthing around for apparently deleted stuff from the internet that may or may not be just another heap of anecdotes.

I have no doubt that their treatment of creatives leaves a lot to be desired (that's a sorry standard for creatives almost everywhere in the industry) and probably sucks even more than the already very low industry standard, but i still fail to see how that relates to current-year ressource and production planning - it just is mostly a non-sequitur, outside of general arguments like 'Their corporate culture ist bad' which again, to me, is rather weak as relating to concrete production and distribution issues.

I'd suggest we end this derail here on the common ground of 'We can not be sure, and will probably never know'.

*shrug*

It was you who brought the subtopic of corpo management up as some sort of counter to the theory that someone could put what they knew would be a big seller to 40k players into the 30k production queue to pad 30k's bottom line, so whatever. I understand that no amount of anecdotal evidence will outweigh your baseless personal imagination of the inner workings of GW.
