"I get to tell my wife and son about the goings-on of the studio while they drag my physically exhausted and emaciated body to my bed. After a crisp 45 minutes of rest I have an alarm so I can do some conference calls to keep development running, and then a bit more sleep, and every couple of days I get woken up by a call from Jason Schreier asking for quotes for his next crunch article. It's a nice change of pace from napping on the studio couch and getting woken up by an email from Jason Schreier asking for quotes for his next crunch article."

Now that's good satire! It's depressing and hilarious.

First time I read the thread title:

Amidst Pandemic, Naughty Dog Allows Employees to Sleep at Work

Was all like, what the fuck, seriously?! :D

To be serious, anyone know if ND employees are all working at home now or is ND still making them come in to the office?

Mentioning The Hard Times only at the end of the thread title was masterful, OP. Masterful.

it's really bad and i am calling you out.

idk how you can read this:

"It's cool that I get to see my family again," said one Naughty Dog employee that wished to remain anonymous. "I get to tell my wife and son about the goings-on of the studio while they drag my physically exhausted and emaciated body to my bed. After a crisp 45 minutes of rest I have an alarm so I can do some conference calls to keep development running, and then a bit more sleep, and every couple of days I get woken up by a call from Jason Schreier asking for quotes for his next crunch article.

Im guessing they mean from the title alone. *mods added satire to the title later
As they are talking in past tense its reasonable to believe when they actually read the piece they realized it was satire.

Still a sad state of affairs that from title alone it actually seems plausible.
