So that abuse of coworkers part relies on ableism against the lead creatives? Or did they abuse their powers over the other workers in some ways?
Not sure if this was more of a "no perfect victims" or "you are not 'normal' enough? Say goodbye to your human rights" thing
The abuse of co-workers isn't that they were assaulting people or just neurodivergent and misunderstood, but they were not very tactful in giving feedback, were sometimes incompetent, and created a hostile work environment. Saying "this is shit" about someone's idea instead of giving them constructive feedback and instead making people feel belittled or harming their mental health. Most of those stories are centered around Robert Kurvitz, the lead writer, and were talked about by Argo Tuulik in one of the documentaries released about the situation.
The fact that Robert is not a good boss and that reports about his behavior are factual was the excuse the higher ups needed to fire him and his closest associates, but their true intentions behind the firing were to take over the rights to the IP.
I hate long form video content as a primary source, but tbh the 2 year old People Make Games doc and the more recent follow up are the best comprehensive sources about the whole thing. They include a lot of interview footage from the involved parties.
Man, if every overpaid asshole was fired for creating a hostile work environment like that, central and eastern europeans would probably be not nearly as depressed lmao Thank you
