Re: VFX in Los Angeles 100 hour weeks & homeless
seriously. I made more money for less hours working retail at Fred Meyer in Seattle. I can understand the desire to be successful but if you're working 100 hours a week and homeless that isn't really successful now is it? -

The insanity of it all is that no one really wants to change the system by saying "no" to the higher ups. We all have this idea that someone else is waiting to jump in and take our spot in this industry, and while that may be true... if everyone just quit when faced with retarded 100 hour work weeks then it would put the… -
