Jade is one of the smartest women in gaming today.

Absolutely. I have a ton of respect for her.

I was job searching today( In Toronto) and seen quite a few job postings from ubisoft... you can make between $50,000 - $90,000 yearly! Damn I wish I followed my dreams of being a computer programmer back then.....:-(

Those must not be senior positions, I'd need to take a huge pay cut to work there. I don't know any experienced developers making under 100k.

You can get better pay elsewhere, but it probably won't be as much fun ;)

But at 36 years old she's definitely over the hill though...

...*sigh* just like a carton of milk...

I'm a negative creep

Love that song. Bleach was their best album.

Women bosses are the worst, especially when they are young and attractive.

esemce4424d ago

Not in my fantasies they are not.

@turgore
It's obvious you A.) haven't had many bosses, or B.) don't know how to relate to women.

I can't sit here and act like I know these workers financial situations. And I'm sure nobody wakes up WANTING to go to court. But for the sake of the industry, I wish some of these types of cases made it to trial.

Settlements allow companies to continue to do whatever abusive practices they do. While the trials (should the company lose) would actually force real changes for the better.

But again, I'm not in these workers shoes and I can understand them not wanting to risk it.
