We have crunch too, mostly around system changes, large industry changes, that sort of thing. It’s not as ongoing as gaming though, even though I often work over 40 too. We also have paging to address system issues.
The thing is though, the only thing that keeps the other industries from considering unions for professional employees working the systems is the working conditions are not really that poor. If that ever changes, unions would look more attractive.
Nurses have unions. They’re highly skilled and hourly. It’s not really about… skill level for these things. And for gaming, I think it would be less about pay and more about humane working conditions.
