Can you elaborate for us? Did they just not seal it when they handed you paint?

And they don't know this in the photo but they're probably not getting their promised pay for doing this

UPDATE: I'm a dev who has been working on my game for 2 years and my game title appeared on another Steam game as they plan to release before I do.
Aw man, stoked to hear it! What a lovely resolution. Looking forward to your game coming out, been seeing it for a little while now and it looks right up my alley

Ah maybe I'll sign up when I'm back from summer vacation in a few weeks. Zero worries. I'd rather wait for a good game than play a medium one now

There was a day, 18th April 1930, where the BBC reported no news. It really shocks me because of how different the times are now. I can't imagine there's any minute that doesn't have dozens news stories running

Yes this year is going to be really good and productive
Someone I worked with had a great rage quit. He worked his ass off for the whole year doing insane overtime and sacrificing way too much for a thankless corporation. When it came to raise time, my boss gave him a 0% raise, citing that he already made more than average/benchmark.
After that meeting he just left. He left all his work stuff on his desk, he didn't tell anyone he wasn't coming back from lunch time ish. It took a full month before they stopped paying him, and my boss would come around almost every day to ask if anyone knew where he was or how to contact him. I think they just assumed he was blowing off steam and would come back, meanwhile he moved to another city.

What's the dumbest way you've seen someone get fired?
This is technically fired, but it's more like quitting. It doesn't perfectly fit this thread but I love telling this story.
A few months into my first real job, the engineers got their raises (not me, I was new). 0%, after record profits, the team busting their ass and working insane hours, and promises of good raises. I think they got some gift cards or something.
One of my coworkers goes back to his desk, packs some stuff, walks to his car, and doesn't come back. He got paid for a full month before they finally fired him. We got a beer after and he was like "oh I don't think I'm gonna go back" in the most Office Space way

Today’s layoffs (Epic Games official post)
Since it's a thing now, I should note that the layoffs aren't related to AI. To the extent it improves productivity, we want to have as many awesome developers developing great content and tech as we can.
For example, in the U.S., they’ll receive paid coverage for 6 months. We’ll also accelerate their stock options vesting through January 2027 and extend equity exercise options for up to two years.
As much as I hate Epic, those are both better paragraphs than I expected. I feel for the people getting laid off, hopefully they land on their feet

What successful or popular movie that many loved you just HATE?
Interstellar. That ending was so unbelievably dumb that I can't even stomach the rest of the movie thinking about it.
I know it's got rave reviews, a stacked cast, Nolan directing. Plenty was pretty, cool concepts, high stakes scenes. But that ending... shudders
