I particularly want to call attention to this bit. Anyone who's worked in gamedev knows how deeply collaborative it is, and how someone refusing to speak to you - ESPECIALLY someone you report to - can completely and utterly derail your work. This isn't a misunderstanding. It's active union-busting.

This included managers. Legally, the only union-related prohibition for managers was that they could not give employees their opinions on unions or encourage them one way or another. But several union supporters said they directly heard managers express concerns that they were no longer allowed to speak to their employees about anything, and a few people told me their own managers or senior members of their teams stopped speaking to them entirely, even about the games they were working on. “They helped enforce this narrative where you couldn’t talk to people when nothing about neutrality required that to happen,” said one union supporter. “Supporters who were confused saw that, and bought into it.”

Decided to start a new Dark Souls 3 run and I'm not sure if I should take it as a sign of my Dark Souls street cred that I one-shot Iudex Gundyr on the first attempt, or a sign of just how deep the layers of rust are that I did so with just this tiny sliver of health left at the end:
