An anonymous significant other of an anonymous Electronic Arts' programmer is railing against what they call the "unethical and illegal treatment" of employees by the multi-billion dollar game company.

Most of the SO s anger seems directed at what they say is EA s practice of milking their production teams and not paying overtime or giving comp.

Put up or shut up and leave: this is the core of EA's Human Resources policy. The concept of ethics or compassion or even intelligence with regard to getting the most out of one's workforce never enters the equation: if they don't want to sacrifice their lives and their health and their talent so that a multibillion dollar corporation can continue its Godzilla-stomp through the game industry, they can work someplace else.

EA's motto, if you recall, is "Challenge Everyting." Just not EA's labor standards, wages, or long hours, I guess.
