Good to hear! My work just had the same thing too.
Good. Very smart of them.
Good job unholy death knights, we did it
Likewise, my employer announced work from home for all to start next week as well.
Employees have been asking for WFH options for years and that always got brushed off or marginalized in some way. Only in the face of a national emergency and global pandemic do they do something about that. Like, good on them for doing something, but damn dude.
Just dispel it ffs
Wish my work cared and there a billion dolloar company also but i work with product stright from china.
good job.
I fully support them taking the WFH approach, it's a great move and Health obviously comes before these video games any day. Although it makes me wonder how much they are actually capable of working on at home, and if Shadowlands/other Blizz products will be delayed as a result depending on how long this virus sticks around.
I am a holy priest but i cant dispel it :(
I live here in Southern California, other businesses are doing likewise and I knew Blizzard would as well. I know Blizzcon is still many months away in November, but I do wonder if it will be cancelled should the Summer not slow the virus like many of our health officials hope it would.Of course, if it's continuing by November, we have bigger problems on our hands.. Shadowlands will become reality.
One of the offices is in my area and I’m glad they’re doing this
I have worked 4+ years in the gaming industry as a tester and latwr on testing cooridnator, trust me ppl are usualy not trustworty as due to low salaries ppl tend to be young in that department and with little to no work ethics and that leads to lots and lots of leaks. That why its hard to let someone take the builds with future content outside of the floor you are working on. Everything is very strictly monitored. We werent even allowed to take pur phones out of our pokets inside the building. Ppl got fired on the spot for cheking the time on their phone. One leak can equal to tons of mkney lost in marketing. Makes sense. Just have to think about it. Lets hope all employees are correct and wont do anything stupid :D
WORLD! THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN ...... THERE IS NO LICH KING... the dead and all that follows loses control....PS: all jokes aside.... may Health and a ever lasting life be part of all of those that work on our Beautiful game, beein from Italy.... one understand how serious this is, I also wish the very best for all of theirs Love once.
