EA To Pay Overtime Wages

Posted by Zonk on Thursday March 10, 2005 @09:44AM from the cha-ching dept.

Months after EA: The Human Story was released to the web, Gamasutra.com has word that EA will begin paying out overtime to some of its employees. Which is not to say they don't give it any spin. From the article: "The employment environment at EA was built to allow you flexibility as professionals, with the expectation that time on the job could be managed without watching the clock. Unfortunately, labor laws have not kept pace with this spirit of entrepreneurialism, innovation and creativity." Additionally, taking overtime makes you ineligible for bonuses and this largely has nothing to do with the coders and artists who have filed suit against the company.

They figured 2005 is the year they need to start being alittle nicer at least to their own employees. They made an insane amount of enemies last year.

- their own hardworking employees

- people who like Take-Two Sega sports games

- people who don't like monopolies

- game reviewers

- slashdot crowd

- GT4 fans who are pissed ferraris and porshe signed with EA.
